Darker nights mean knitted delights! Taking inspiration from gems, geological forms, and geometric shapes, our Winter Issue is packed full of designs with vivid hues. Intriguing texture and colour comes courtesy of fair isle, two-colour brioche, stripes, and slipped stitches. All set against a series of hand painted backdrops, made for us by abstract artist Kim Whiteside, this issue aims to satisfy your colour cravings in the form of 5 sweaters, 2 hats, faded socks, and 2 sumptuous shawls to keep you cosy. Featuring designs by: Amy Christoffers, Andrea Mowry, Astrid Troland, Debra Gerhard, Emily Greene, Maja Möller, Lesley Anne Robinson, Julie Dubreux, Paula Pereira, and Tatyana Scotce. Alongside the patterns we have a jewel-toned winter salad to keep things bright, Francesca Baldry reflects on the history of the button, plus Anna Maltz muses on what makes us keep picking up our needles and casting on anew, project after project. Speaking of projects, before you choose which of the multi-hued patterns to cast on, check out Juju Vail’s article discussing ideas and apps to get your colour juices flowing.
