Knitting Nr. 95 - November 2011

This autumn Knitting has gone tribal as we bring you a selection of bold and beautiful knits that are sure to keep you warm without sacrificing your style. Exclusive designs from Nicky Epstein, Alison Robson, Martin Storey, Sian Brown and Jeanette Sloan have got everyone in our office drooling and make this a bumper issue bursting with inspirational patterns. Sian Brown’s gorgeous fairisle roll neck sweater is perfect for layering, Kyoko Nakayoshi’s sweater is a triumph of fashion conscious knitting, and Marie Wallin’s quirky sweater will brighten up even the dreariest of days. Not even the home could escape our passion for all things colourful this issue but fortunately Sandra Hamilton was happy to accommodate us with a stunning floor cushion. In addition to all this we continue to lift the lid on the knitting industry as Shannon Denny interviews Rosalind Price-Cousins and gets all the info on her unique creations. Mandy McIntosh is our One to Watch this month and her inventive designs gave us plenty to admire. The ever witty Purl Princess brings a smile to our faces as she reveals her secret snobbery and, of course, we have all your regular favourties like 6 of the best, Ask Jeanette and the low down on key knitting events. We hope you enjoy reading this vibrant and exciting issue as much as we enjoyed making it.
