The projects in the issue have all been commissioned with only one idea in mind – they needed to be colourful! (Let’s be honest, we need all the cheeriness we can get at this time of year!) So from our gorgeous cover garment in coral (page 10) and a richly textured teal cardigan (page 28) to the gloriously quirky Chloe Birch knit on page 42, there’s sure to be a garment that makes you smile. Not feeling brave enough for bright clothing? Try our fun dotty scarf on page 24 – it makes me smile just looking at it.The babies in your life also get in on the colourful action. The baby blanket (page 34) is a simple and versatile make – swap the colours for your favourites – and the Heart on Your Sleeve baby jumper (page 14) is a stripy purple delight! For more quick makes, why not try grab the hat templates and pattern book with this issue, and whip something up for yourself?You’ve still got something to read, of course. We have interviews with Ammonite yarn shop (page 82) and indie dyer The Wool Kitchen (page 70), we run down our five reasons to choose wool (page 23) and check out Local News on page 59 for a heart-warming tale about knitting for premature babies.
