Jennifer May Production Assistant STAR LETTER FURRY FIEND I knew I would be onto a winner when I saw the llama jumper pattern by Jane Burns and Nicola Valiji in issue 208, as my granddaughter Emily LOVES anything that is fluffy or furry! I had trouble getting the required wool for the llama as King Cole Truffle in Coconut was out of stock, so I decided to use Snuggly Snowflake instead which worked just as well. Emily’s favourite colour is blue, so I adjusted the colours to incorporate shades of blue which I had in my stash. I also made the matching shoulder bag to go with it and lined it with cotton fabric to give a bit of extra support. Suzie Brewer, via email Emily looks like a bobby-dazzler…

When I decided to pick my needles up again after years of neglect, I couldn’t have imagined how much I would need them. I learned to knit when I was 10 years old after spending a weekend with a family friend. Her mother was visiting from India and had brought along her knitting bag. I’d watched all weekend, fascinated by the rhythm of the needles clicking backwards and forwards. She offered to teach me a few simple stitches which I took home with me. MAKING A START Over the next few years I had input from grannies, maths tutors and neighbours, all keen to share their knitting wisdom. But in my teenage years, knitting became ‘uncool’ and my needles were put away for a while. It wasn’t until my mid-20s…

Disability affects people in a variety of ways, from those with physical impediments to those who have unseen issues. In the current climate many have been advised to take up a hobby, often to help alleviate the pressures of being alone. Knitting is a pastime that helps a variety of those to overcome problems in different ways. However, for some it can be challenging, yet they have learnt to overcome problems through adapting techniques to suit their own methods. Overcoming challenges Fiona Mannifield who has ASD, dyslexia and dyspraxia says, “The latter of these affects my ability to craft – neurological disabilities can be overlooked because they may be invisible. I didn’t think I could knit for a long time as my motor skills are affected by dyspraxia and I…

Name: Anniken Allis Job: Knit designer and teacher Where: Carnwall How long have you been knitting? Probably for over 40 years. I don’t remember learning. Have you been stashing yarn since the beginning? No, when I still lived at home with my parents in Norway, I’d buy yarn for a project, knit it, then buy more yarn. When I rediscovered knitting about 15-ish years ago, I discovered online yarn shops – my stash grew rather quickly. These days I mainly stash hand-dyed sock/4ply yarns and standard sock yarns. They’re like sweets – so tempting – and you can often use just one skein or combine two skeins for a project like a shawl or socks. I did make a big dent in my sock yarn stash last year (although I did buy some…

KITCHENER STITCH The best way to graft your sock toes together Arrange your stitches so that the ones for the top of the foot are on one needle, and those for the bottom of the foot are on the other, with both needle tips pointing to the right. Cut a 40cm (153/4in) tail of yarn and thread onto a tapestry needle. Using your needle, thread the tail purlwise through the first stitch on the front needle, and then knitwise through the first stitch on the back needle. *Thread tail knitwise through the first stitch on the front needle and drop off the needle. Thread the tail purlwise through the new first stitch on the needle closest to you. Thread the tail purlwise through the first stitch on the needle furthest…

“We couldn’t see friends or family, so we needed a project we could focus on, with a common aim” Alison, a textile artist and teacher, lives in the village of Barley, North Hertfordshire about 12 miles south of Cambridge, with her husband, Ian. “I first started knitting as a child – my grandma taught me to knit and my mother was an accomplished knitter,” she tells us. “In the early 1980s, I designed knitting patterns for the yarn company French Wools Ltd, which were featured in a number of magazines. I’ve always loved the physicality of the variety of textures of yarn as it runs through your fingers and how it is so endlessly versatile.” Earlier this year, there seemed no end to the lockdown in sight. “We could not…
