We’re already thinking about Christmas, with 21 projects in this issue that would make great gifts, whether you save them for Christmas Day or give them as soon as they’re done!
We introduce Lily France, our favourite new knitting designer who just happens to be no more than 12 years old. We only wish we’d been half that talented at that age! Thinking of wish lists, we do a round up of some of our favourite needles, while Teva Durham offers tops on making innovative accessories using unusual stitch patterns.
Kay Gardiner and Ann Sharne discuss the value of knitted coats versus the peril of ending up with something resembling a dressing gown. And we tell you what we really want for Christmas!
