The days are getting longer, the sky will soon be getting bluer and we’re really, really in the mood for positive, spring-like knits. For me a spring knit is all about cardigans and calmer, softer colours, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone. I have friends and family who wear woolly hats until June and would rather be coat-less than cable-jumper free for most of the year. In order to please everyone, we’ve included a really broad range of patterns this issue – from last-minute Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day gifts to warm pullovers and pretty, frock-perfect cardigans, including knits for you, your man and your little ones. Our cover jumper, with its huge heart, is our way of sending lots of love your way – oversized and…

When exploring new cities, taking photos of all of the wonderful things that you see is part of the joy of the experience – an opportunity to take a look at them when you’re back, reminiscing about the time you had. Instead of taking photographs though, knitter Jake Henzler decided to think outside the box and created knitted works of art based on his time living in Copenhagen. Jake, an English teacher based in Sydney, Australia, first learned to knit when he was 19. “Mum was a prolific knitter,” he explains. “She was someone who thrived on a sense of productivity, so watching television always meant watching television and knitting. I was always in awe of how she managed to turn yarn into panels of fabric and then clothes.” Having…

STAR LETTER HARRIET POTTER My granddaughter, Emily, is a huge Harry Potter fan. So when I saw the original Gryffindor scarf in Issue 196 of Simply Knitting I knew I had to make a Gryffindor one for her 7th birthday! I made the pattern narrower to fit a child and it worked perfectly! I was then given the wonderful Tanis Gray book ‘Harry Potter Knitting Magic’ for my birthday and was entranced by all the patterns, but Hedwig took my eye and I just knew that this also had to be knitted for the birthday! Emily had a Harry Potter set of robes that she had worn on World Book Day! As you can see Emily loves being Harriet Potter! I am now looking forward to making more things from…

Most of the time, I‘m a live-and-let-live sort of person. But there’s one area where I don’t even try to hold back my opinions, and that’s in relation to converting people to the wonderful world of knitting. COLD COMFORT Given that you’re reading this magazine, I’ll assume that you already take a proknitting stance, but believe it or not, there are folk out there who don’t knit, and in some cases who don’t even wear knitwear. And I should know, because I’m married to one of them. I’ve heard all the arguments; knitting is too difficult, knitwear is scratchy, knitwear doesn’t look cool, there’s no point making something when you can buy cheap jumpers, socks, etc. I’ve heard it all, and I’m quite happy to challenge it. My own husband…
