Knitting Nr. 140 - April 2015

Spring is nearly here, there are daffodils and snowdrops popping up all over the place, and I can tell you, I am really ready for it! I'm craving bright colours and lighter knits after what feels like an age since winter began. Luckily for you lot, we have some gorgeous knits in our April issue, ready to make you feel lighter and brighter in no time.

This fab pink jumper is an original Sirdar design, reknitted in their gorgeous new textured yarn, Beachcomber, a must for summer. We love the interesting colour and texture in the Cropped cable jumper, knitted using two strands of Debbie Bliss Angel and Rialto 4 ply in complementing shades of green, which gives a depth of colour and soft, hazy fabric.
