The Knitter Issue 31 – On sale 18 April 2011

The Knitter magazine, issue 31We seek out designs for nostalgic shapes in pretty shades, playing with colour and lace. Our new deputy editor, Rosee Woodland, talks us through her latest projects and we take a sneak preview at Fyberspates’ first-ever pattern collection.

We've also embraced the travel bug, with Susan Crawford taking us to the craft shops of Paris and Mel Clark offering a look at Antipodean knitting.

Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne introduce us to designer Ann Weaver – “the thinking knitter’s knitter.”

Our masterclass from Judy Furlong will enable you to add knitted edgings to your shawls, ideal for Anniken Allis’ Lightning Shawl pattern on page 72.
