Knitting – October 2018

Enjoy our collection of quick and cosy knits, and take it easy with your craft this autumn. We bring you 27 swift designs – from a Long Cardigan perfect for beginners to Brian Smith’s stunning Statement Shawl in trendsetting bohemian colours. If you’re keen on quick knitting, take some tips from Hazel Tindall, who is one of the world’s fastest knitters. And for those of you hooked on indie dyers, meet Caz Davies of Wulla, who is one of the few independent yarn dyers working with really super chunky yarns – you can try it out in Christine Boggis’ Zesty cowl. With all this speed, don’t forget to slow it down ahead of the Christmas rush. As an antidote to fast knitting, we look at slow knitting – and how this mindful approach to your craft can help you relax and wind down. So with all that as well as all our regular features, you’ll find plenty to snuggle up with this month in the October issue of Knitting, out now!
