if it was yesterdayso clearly is it etched in my memory. Each box we opened elicited oohs and ahhs, and
we were completely amazed by many of the hats. We cajoled each other to try them on, pulled a mirror into the
conference room to see how they looked. The response
to our contest was so enthusiastic that it soon became
clear that our original plan of simply showcasing the
winning hats in the magazine was inadequate. Soon
what started as projects for the magazine turned into a
book called Tops with a Twist, which was welcomed into
the home of many a spinner.
Recently, while exploring the archives in the Interweave basement, we stumbled across these from the
contest and the book. It was great to see how many
timeless designs were included in Tops with a Twist.
In the time since the original book went out of print,
weve entered the digital age and a whole generation of
spinners and knitters havent had a chance to experience these twisty tops. Weve selected a few for you to
enjoy in a range of sizes, styles, and levels of complexitywe hope that they inspire you to spin some yarn
and cast on.
Happy spinning,
