Enjoy the full-color scanned, interactive PDF of this early issue of your
favorite knitting magazine! Learn about the history of the nostepinde—a
unique Scandinavian tool used for winding yarn balls with an easily
accessible inside end of yarn. This enables the knitter to do
traditional Swedish “two-ends” knitting. Learn tips and techniques for
knitting Aran sweaters from the top down, which brings the advantage of
being able to try the sweater on at every step to ensure great fit.
Browse staff reviews and recommendations for cables needles, and learn
how to pick the correct type for your project. Join Tara Manning in
exploring Celtic Images and Family Patterns. Aran sweaters have a rich
and long-running tradition as “family patterns” and are great, cozy
garments for someone close to you. Beth Morimoto guides you through
planning and knitting a sweater for a child, which involves different
sizing, fit, and considerations that adult garments do. This issue
brings jackets, vests, tops, and more garments, in addition to Strands
from the editor, letters from readers, Beyond the Basics tutorials,
knitting folklore, and more!
