I don’t know about you, but I’ve been planning this Christmas issue since January – mourning the lost Christmas of 2020 no doubt – and I’m 100% keen to make it megamerry! After all, I’m hopeful that this season we’ll be able to spend some quality time together, gift giving, snowball sipping and Quality Street chomping… are you with me? To kick off the knitting festivities we’ve got a sophisticated Christmas jumper from Jo Allport. Designed in Scheepjes Stonewashed yarn, it’s the perfect modern make for those who want to wear their holiday knits beyond the big day. Festive nesters will love our Swedish tomte tree skirt and merry musician decorations, each project bringing a sense of the unique to your homes. And if you’re an avid knitter for children,…

Jennifer May Production Assistant STAR LETTER KNITTED WITH LOVE I am a 90-year-old great-grandmother who has enjoyed knitting since I was five. Not being very mobile and living alone, knitting has kept me happy during lockdown. A recent project was Peter Rabbit, that I knitted from your little pattern book of three Beatrix Potter characters (Issue 211). I thought you would like to see how much he was loved by my three-year-old great granddaughter. Ivory Davies, via email Thank you for writing to us, Ivory, it’s an inspiration to hear you have been knitting for 85 years! We’re so pleased you enjoyed knitting our Peter Rabbit project from issue 211, and it’s lovely to see your granddaughter is enjoying her new toy, too! Perhaps she’ll ask for the other characters…

It’s time to make a big confession... I’m a thief. I steal ideas for my knitting from one particular designer. Colour palettes, motifs, shaping, textures – the whole kit and caboodle. Almost everything I’ve ever designed has been a rip-off of this designer’s work, and I don’t even attempt to disguise the fact. I’m not sure I’ve ever had an original idea in my entire designing life. Fortunately for my continued plagiarism, she – the designer – doesn’t have lawyers, so I’m confident that I won’t be sued for copyright violation any time soon. I don’t think she’s even got an Instagram account. And the victim of this shameless plundering? Mother Nature, of course. In my opinion, the absolute best designer out there, and the rest of us may as…

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.

Jenny Fennell lives in Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia with her husband and two children – it’s a slow-moving, countryside community with plenty of good people, wildlife and farms. A self-confessed ‘awful knitter’ once upon a time, Jenny had a mission to create a pattern book that could be used by everybody, from beginners to advanced knitters. This book, ‘Knits from Northern Lands’, takes knitters on a journey back to a simpler time – to get lost in the stories, tales and history of the traditional patterns. We caught up with her to ask where the idea came from. “‘Knits from Northern Lands’ is a knitting pattern book that focuses on traditional knitting techniques from the Scottish Isles to Scandinavia,” Jenny tells us. “This book is a way to immerse yourself…
