It’s that exciting time of year when it’s time to get knitting for Christmas! We’ve got some lovely festive patterns for you this issue, including Kass Redding’s Lacy Tree socks on page 60 and Anni Howard’s Lacy Spruce jumper on page 67 – I love this more subtle take on a traditional Christmas jumper and the yarn used is incredibly soft! Sachiyo Ishii has also created some absolutely adorable versions of Sooty, Soo and Sweep in their Christmas outfits – perfect for Yuletide puppet shows (page 25)! There’s also the chance to win four miles of King Cole yarn on page 71 and WoolBox is offering readers 20% off on page 44. We’ve got top tips for saving money on your Christmas knitting on page 22, and on page 56, West Yorkshire Spinners has given us a sneak peek at its new homewares range using The Croft.
