Welcome to our new look website!As you may already know, The Knitter is part of a stable of craft magazines under the umbrella The Making Spot, the place to go for crafting inspiration and ideas.

The main thing you need to know is that TheKnitter.co.uk will continue as before, but will look quite a bit different. The next few weeks will be a period of transition for us, which is why things might not quite be as you expect. Some tabs may be missing, but all the content will remain and if you can't find something just give us a shout by emailing us at TheKnitter@futurenet.com.

What a year it has been for the UK, with that royal wedding, and now the London Olympics to prepare for. Union Jacks are everywhere, and a sense of national pride is in the air. In this issue we are proud to showcase some of the best British designers and yarn companies. Their innovation and enthusiasm bring us delectable products which are enjoyed by knitters all over the world.

There has been great excitement here at The Knitter HQ as we bring you the first of three designs by Jane Sowerby, author of the iconic book Victorian Lace Today.

You'll be able to carry your laptop or iPad in style with Ann Kingstone’s feminine case, featuring an intriguing double-layered construction.

Gadget fans know that expensive pieces of kit such as laptops and iPads need protecting, but shop-bought covers can be a little samey, not to mention expensive! Ann’s wonderful design is both practical and beautiful, combining a stocking stitch inner bag with a lacy outer layer in a contrasting colour.

Anniken Allis’ beautiful, elegant shawlette is knitted from just one luxury skein of sock yarn. The Tulip motif of Anniken Allis’ unusual graphic-influenced shawl perfectly complements the pale cherry shade of Artisan Yarns’ sumptuous silk merino 4ply yarn. Though airily light, the yarn has enough crispness to make the stitch pattern stand out.

An innovative design will make this cosy cabled jumper by Kyoko Nakayoshi fascinating to knit. Designed for Woolcraft using its pure British wool spun in Yorkshire in the UK, Kyoko's design has an interesting construction. "ìI wanted the garment to look like you are wearing a cabled shrug over a plain, fitted jumper," says Kyoko.

Indulge your feminine side with Amanda Crawford’s richly textured cardigan adorned with a crochet lace trim. This unashamedly feminine design looks and feels luxurious. Knitted from BergËre de France’s soft Origin’ Alpaga, an alpaca-merino yarn, it flatters the figure thanks to the gently curving front panels and a close fit; it fastens at the bust with a simple hook and eye fastener.

Autumnal shades are blended to subtle effect in Annie Modesitt’s stranded men’s jumper, featuring seamless body and yoke.

Kauni is a Danish company which makes variegated yarns which blend subtly to produce a stunning fabric. Annie has taken advantage of its beautiful graduated effect in this stunning stranded pullover. Just three colours are used to create the patterning on this jumper, although Annie recommends that you wind the yarn into mini-balls, each starting with the same shade, to control how each colour appears during knitting.

If you love Rowan Kidsilk Haze, you may buy single balls of yarn simply because the colours are so fantastic, but then end up stumped for a project for them. This relaxed top, inspired by the paintings of Mark Rothko, uses two strands of Kidsilk Haze held together to create a blend of vibrant and subtle colours, contrasted with a muted background of Rowan Felted Tweed. Why not experiment with your own Kidsilk Haze stash and create different colour variations?
