Simply Knitting Issue 92 Mai/Spring 2012

Welcome to the Spring issue of Simply Knitting! The weather may be a bit patchy but primroses are lining the hedgerows and daffodils are glowing in full force! With this in mind, this issue has a bit of a bright and sunny feel, with six quick and stylish wedding ideas on p52, and Alan Dart’s Superhero toy on p35, complete with chiseled knitted jaw, ready to take on the day, whatever it brings!

Other irresistible patterns in this issue include Sarah Hatton’s lightweight poncho/shrug/scarf/cape blend (pictured), ideal for unpredictable sunshine, Sublime’s sweet stylish cardi, Rhian Drinkwater’s pretty welly toppers and Jen Arnall Culliford’s baby blanket. Come back to the blog tomorrow to find out about the inspiration behind Jen’s gorgeous design.

This season also gets us thinking about daytrips and holidays, so our free gift to you this issue is a neat pair of wooden handles and a booklet of bag ideas to make to attach them to. There are masses to choose from. Editor Deborah says: “I think my favourite is the little navy cable bag – which will you choose?”
