Grab your needles, pour your seasonal hot drink of choice, and settle down for some delicious patterns. There are autumn colours aplenty in this issue; will you choose our gorgeous Casta cover jumper in vivid scarlet (page 14), a double-layered lace cowl and hat set in orange and blue (page 37), or a brioche knit (page 28) in chartreuse? If you can’t decide, Rowan’s new Bessie sweater (page 41) might be just the ticket – the colourwork in Felted Tweed combines multiple colours to stunning effect!Of course, if you prefer a smaller knit, we have those too. Try Sophie McKane’s fox hoodie (page 60) for a cute baby make, or give mosaic knitting a go with the gorgeous Biskviit cushion on page 20. Speaking of small knits, our feature on orange cardigans (page 46) shows that little makes can have a big impact – it’s a fascinating read about a hidden piece of Canada’s colonial history. For something on the more uplifting side, read our interview on page 19 with Maddie Harvey, or learn some brioche knitting tips from our resident expert Debbie (page 26).
