Knitting Nr. 93 - September 2011

23 design for a news season

September marks the start of the new season and with it comes many new things. New yarns, new patterns, new fashion trends; it was from these we took our inspiration for this issue. Our ‘Urban’ fashion shoot features strong shapes and block colours in Tender by Grace Melville, unusual details demonstrated by Sublime’s Cassie jacket and a modern twist on a classic technique in Pat Menchini’s Flared cardigan. Try bias and short row knitting with Fiona Morris’s technique and pattern, meet Purl Alpaca Designs, read about the Campaign for wool’s new initiative and check out our ‘Fashion Forecast’ to see what trends are hot for autumn. Welcome to ‘The September Issue’.
