Knitting Magazine – Issue 210

This month Knitting is extremely proud to introduce you, face to face, with the brilliant team of designers who make our magazine what it is. Each designer was given the challenge to create something she or he would love to wear, to show off their unique design styles and their own fashion choices. Our cover star Jacinta Bowie models beautiful Moorgate, a cosy chevron-pattern cardigan inspired by – and shown off in – her favourite local moorland. Francesca Hughes has designed a beautiful shawl inspired by Devon seascapes, Jo Allport has created a handy over-top with a beautifully intricate cabled back, Pat Menchini portrays two of her classic, delightfully wearable designs and there’s much more besides. Plus read about how innovative independent retailers are making new plans for the so-called ‘new normal’, and Jen Arnall-Culliford breaks down knitters’ needs as she explores what makes us crafters tick. With fashion, shopping, reviews and more, there’s plenty of interest in this month’s Knitting magazine.
