The Knitter – September 2018

Stranded colourwork can look incredible when worked in a palette of black and white, or grey and cream - as demonstrated by the Light & Shade collection in our new issue. It includes an intricate Fair Isle cardigan by Mary Henderson, an elegant jumper by Emma Vining, a pretty tank top, and a graphic colourwork sweater with a classic silhouette. Elsewhere in the issue, we bring you patterns for a feminine, gansey-inspired jumper, a luxurious shawl from lace expert Anniken Allis, and much more. We have also been discovering the best new yarns for your autumn knitting, and exploring the story of pioneering Victorian knitting writer Jane Gaugain. Plus, our special supplement contains a pattern for a bright, cosy Fair Isle yoked sweater in a new aran-weight Shetland wool from West Yorkshire Spinners.
