Knit Now Magazine #194

This zingy new issue of Knit Now features a beautiful sweater worked in a bright burnt orange, the ultimate summer piece. Try it with a breezy pleated skirt or chinos — it’s got holiday written all over it. We continue the spring/summer vibes with this month’s garment collection, including an utterly gorgeous shawl to really get you in the mood.

Our new Knit Now Life feature looks at getaways for knitters, so read up and literally, give yourself a break. Escape is also very much in the mind of our new columnist and TV favourite, Di Gilpin. This month, Di provides us with a little window into her creative mind and explains just how she found inspiration in Scotland. Her personal story really does inspire and of course Scotland is a knitting hotbed of producers, designers and knit-friendly destinations. Please sit back, get a cuppa, relax and let her transport you.

Then keep that cup in your hand and skip over to Kate Heppell’s Knit Therapy page where she reminds us of the pure and simple power of picking up a pair of needles. And in Last Word, Nikki Duffy reflects on how knitting helped her through some difficult life moments.
