Innehållsförteckning för July 2021 från Simply Knitting

The true beauty of knitting is its never-ending versatility. Apart from crafting for joy and my mental health, I’m often looking for knitting to solve things – cold shoulders and chilly feet, an incomplete outfit, gift ideas, perking up a picnic, or somewhere for a pet to curl up. The list goes on and on. It’s the same reason I love commissioning so much – think it can’t be done in knitting? Think again! Our exceptional designers are always up for a challenge. One such favourite is Susan Cowper from Tea Cosy Folk. This issue she’s designed possibly my favourite tea cosy ever, featuring display aeroplanes! I don’t know if it’s the patriotic colours, the summery blue sky or the incredible attention to detail, but it just makes me smile…

*STAR LETTER* SPRING ZING I loved the design on the bottom of the stripes and flags jumper from issue 209 earlier this year. I used it to make a cushion for my friend’s birthday which is in a few weeks time. As we both share the same birthday and being the supposedly first official day of spring, I thought I would make a cushion with flowers and butterflies. I love your knitting mag and find many useful tips and patterns to use in so many different ways. Maureen Mann, via email What an ingenious idea! We always love seeing the many different ways our readers use patterns, especially when they are extra-creative like you, Maureen.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH CHUNKY YARNS ENDS Q I’ve just finished a lovely chunky blanket but I don’t know how to weave the ends in without them coming out again when it’s being used? Sophie Norris, via email There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a chunky-knit blanket come to life, especially when those stitches add up so quickly. It’s when you get to the end, having many yarn ball ends to weave in, that things become tricky. The first thing you need to do is buy a large-eyed needle, one big enough to fit your yarn through comfortably. Find your yarn end and weave it through some of the adjacent knitted area and trim the ends. If you’re worried about the ends poking out once the blanket is in use…

CABLE CAST-ON METHOD Use it for a firm edge, and when adding stitches to your work Make a slip knot. Insert right-hand needle into the stitch as if to knit. Wrap the yarn around the point and pull through, slipping the stitch on to the left-hand needle. Push the point of the right-hand needle between the first and second stitches. Wrap the yarn anti-clockwise around the point of the right-hand needle. Pull the loop out with the right-hand needle, then slip it over the tip of the left-hand needle. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you have the number of stitches you require. THUMP CAST-ON METHOD A great all rounder, use it to cast on stitches quickly and easily Make a slip knot and place it on a needle, leaving…

Neonatal babies at NICU. Charlotte Toye, via Facebook I don’t have the commitment for adult garments so I love knitting baby things to donate. Karen Willows, via Twitter My kids and I are now the same size, so I knit a jumper and maybe I will get to wear it but most of the time my kids get them. Judith Pratt, via Facebook I enjoy knitting for my family most of all – worst is to spend days/weeks on something which then gets shoved into the back of a cupboard. Tina Irving, via Twitter My granddaughters. When they were younger they thought I knitted everyone’s jumpers. Julie Savage, via Facebook I knit for my pure pleasure.

The first lockdown in early 2020 gave many people an opportunity to think about making changes – whether that be picking up a new craft or learning a new language. For Laura Davies, an avid textile crafter, this provided an opportunity to go for a new career – working in a mill. “I had an inkling I wanted to work in the craft industry, but I didn’t really know what jobs were out there. I thought about how I could use my existing practical hands-on skills (I was a carpenter and welder for 10 years) and combine them with a love of wool, knitting and crochet etc,” Laura tells us. “I realised that what I really wanted was to work in a mill with the machinery that makes the yarn,…

1 TAKE MEASUREMENTS Knitting garments for men takes lots of time and effort, so it’s pretty important that you measure your man before buying your yarn and casting on. Not only does it guarantee a good fit, it’ll save you wasting good yarn and money. 2 CONSIDER COLOURS We acknowledge there are some men 100% at home in a bright knit, but most favour something classic and muted. The most popular shades for men’s clothes are cream, beige, grey, navy, moss green, burgundy, plum, brown and black. 3 CLEVER CHOICES If this is the first knit you’ve ever made for a man, we suggested starting small, with a hat, scarf or gloves. You could even go for something fun like a themed egg or tea cosy, or perhaps something they…

STARTING SOCKS Q I’d like to learn to knit socks. Would you recommend toe-up or top-down? Amanda, via Facebook I would always say top down, but I don’t consider myself much of a sock expert, so I asked Merion Willis who said, “Top-down, definitely! You learn the anatomy of a sock that way, and then you can progress to toe-up. There are so many methods so start by learning with the basic version first”. Debbie Toy Tip Using a smaller needle than recommended for the yarn ensures a tight fabric that stuffing won’t show through for knitted toys, which is important aesthetically, but also for safety reasons when giving your precious knitted gift to younger child. SLEEVE SUGGESTIONS Q In your opinion, what is the best kind of sleeve? Geoff,…

Clare Allen, Founder of Knit-For-Nowt Charity Knit-For-Nowt Established 2015 What do you do? Knit-for-Nowt is a non-profit organisation which appeals to knitters to make handmade worry monsters and hand puppets, which are then donated to therapists across the UK who work with seriously worried children and adolescents. In Britain today there are a huge number of children suffering through abuse, neglect, bereavement, disability, mental health conditions, or who are living in a household where they are at risk. They are often very reluctant to articulate their worries, which can be extremely severe, and worry monsters and hand puppets have been found by psychologists to be one of the most effective ways of helping them and finding out what’s going on in their lives.

A couple of years ago, I was lying in a dentist’s chair, having my tattooed eyeliner topped up. (Please don’t judge – this really is my only vanity.) The beautician and I were chatting on and off, in the course of which I mentioned that I love knitting. “Oh! So do you make really hideous jumpers for your family?” she laughed, loudly. “Um, no,” I said. “No I don’t.” I would have frowned, too, if this woman hadn’t been brandishing an electric needle scarily close to my eyeball. Given the power imbalance at that moment, I couldn’t say very much at all, but her question did get me thinking. Is this really what non-knitters think of us? That we’re all sitting here churning out ugly clothing which we force upon…
