Knitting Nr. 155 - June 2016

Get ready for summer festivals and glamping holidays with our gorgeous collection of summer knits. Our 27 designs are all about bright colours and light, airy styles – there’s Twinkle, Alison Robson’s headband and matching camisole decorated with the Preciosa beads FREE with this issue, Natalie Smart’s cute tasselled Sunshine waistcoat, and Eline Oftedal’s cosy but glam Synnøve poncho. Our home styling is all about glamping – there’s fun bunting to knit, a pretty lacy picnic blanket, and a rainbow-coloured crochet Star Fruit Rug. And if knitting for others is more your idea of a party, we’ve got super-cool knits for festie kids – Vickie Howell’s cute Poncho Pal for tiny tots and Conway + Bliss’s zip-up gilet for trendy teens. Plus there’s plenty to read for colour fans – meet our guest columnist, indie dyer Countess Ablaze, and read about some of the other indie dyers developing cult followings around the world.
