EDITOR’S NOTE
Dear Reader,
You probably noticed right away that this
issue looks different than usual. It’s surely
no surprise that the COVID-19 outbreak and
subsequent stay-at-home orders impacted
how we make magazines. Fortunately, not
too much was disrupted because we already
did much of our work online, but one major
aspect was heavily impacted by the necessity of keeping everyone
safe, healthy, and socially distant. This was the first Interweave
Knits photo shoot that didn’t include models. If you go back and
glance at all of our prior issue covers, you’ll see that this one
stands in stark contrast.
In addition to a new photography perspective, this issue is filled
with the reliable stuff of autumn knitting that we love so much.
When heat wanes and our fingers yearn to pick up the crunchy,
colorful, textured work on the needles, these 13 projects will be
waiting for you. If you want to play with color, the 6 projects in the
“Colors of Fall” story (page 12) will keep your eyes and fingers
entertained. That project story is accompanied by an article
by knitting expert Karen Frisa, with tips on stranded knitting.
If you’re looking for rich cables, bobbles, and other interesting
textured fabrics, the 7 patterns in the “Autumn Textures” story
are sure to thrill (page 48).
Because there are so many detailed, amazing charts in some
of these patterns, we had to decrease their size to fit on the page.
Those charts are available online for you to access, reference,
and zoom in as much as your heart and eye desire. Additionally, a
bonus tech article awaits you online. Amy Gunderson shared lots
of tips for successful cable knitting, which will be helpful if you
are looking to level up in your cable knitting.
We know it’s a crazy time right now for so many, and we wish
you and your loved ones health and safety, which are the most
important things we can have. In the midst of the madness, we
hope that this issue brings you comfort and some semblance of
normalcy to your day.
Sincerely,
& Team
