PEACE OF MIND I bought the yarn and pattern for this Emeline blanket last year but never found the time to knit it. Lockdown was the perfect opportunity to complete it.

Doubtless I’m preaching to the converted here, because if you don’t like knitting then it’s fairly surprising that you’re even reading this magazine. But even though you know it already, please just let me say this aloud in my shoutiest voice – knitting is the best hobby/post-apocalyptic-life-skill known to humankind! And right now, I’m more grateful for it than ever. IT’S BEEN THAT KIND OF YEAR You see, it’s been a particularly 2020-ish few weeks around here, culminating in a cancer diagnosis. (No, don’t look at me like that: everything will be completely fine in the long term.) The point is that along the bumpy route towards everything becoming fine, I’m going to be spending lots of time sitting around on hospital wards, sprawling on the sofa at home recovering,…

STAR LETTER STASHBUSTER SQUARES These are two of the knitting projects that I’ve done during lockdown. The throw is for my friend Jane. I started off using up some green wool she gave me years ago and then realised I didn’t have enough squares for anything useful so added a few more colours. I’ve been using some of your pattern squares from the knit-a-long blanket and also some from ‘stitch of the month’. All of this is from yarn in my stash, as is the cushion cover. On to the next project now! Somehow, however much I have dipped into my stash, I still seem to have loads left, so I’m now on a mission to make a colourful square blanket to make a real dent in the store and…

DEBBIE BLISS… HOLE LOT OF BOTHER Q Could you tell me how to avoid holes when turning? When I’m working a collar and I slip the stitch on turning I often create an unsightly gap. Alison via Facebook Try wrapping the slip stitch rather than just moving it from one needle to another. Before you knit it, bring the yarn to the front, slip the stitch, take the yarn to the back, turn your knitting and slip the stitch you’ve just wrapped. This will leave you with no hole and a neat finish to your work. Debbie SUSSING OUT SINGLES Q I have drawers full of single balls of yarn. Any ideas on what I can knit with them?! Kim, via email It depends on the type and weight of…

In association with the Keep Yarn on our Streets campaign Whisper it - I think that Christmas is finally on the way, and I can’t wait! It’s been a tough year for everyone, and I’m loving the chance to get out and explore new stores, looking for present inspiration - plus a few gifts for myself of course. This issue we’ve enjoyed exploring the yarn shops in Lanarkshire as well as Wild and Woolly in London and the gorgeous natural yarns at Romney Marsh Wools. We’ve also chatted to a woman who runs not one, but two friendly local knitting groups, plus two knitters who’ve spent the year making thousands of items for charity. If you’re inspired to knit for charity yourself, look at our pretty poinsettia design overleaf, and…
