great knitting magazines
 

Hello everyone,

I have bought three great knitting magazines this month. First I found
Family Circle's "Easy Knitting" at my supermarket check out. It has
several great kids sweaters in it and one with a dinosaur knitted in with
the arm carrying the riangular points of the back of the dino, on the
center of the arm. There are several great crocheting squares featured
for our 6x6 exchange. It also has a top knitted from arm to arm sideways
across the front.
The next magazine is a first for me, maybe some of you know this
publication already, "Creative Knitting". Here I found for knitting with
my favorite butterfly yarn, a smocked little jumper for my grand
daughter. It is a recktangle with little I cord straps and smocking at
the top. I have done lots of regular smocking but this will be the first
time for knitted smocking (I do think that someone asked about the
possibility of doing that in knitting, well hereit is) It looks great.
My best find this month is in "In Knitters". I do love this magazine,
because they are the best in explaining details and showing small samples
etc. This month they have knitting with beads, lots of talk about that in
this group, as well as an in depth article about pilling and what to do
and not to do to avoid the pilling of your fibers. Double knitting is
also featured, so for all of you who wanted to know about that, get this
Spring issue. I have played with that for a while now. So far I have
made very simple samples of double knitting, some of you got to see those
as 6x6 squares in our exchange. Here they show very wonderful complex
ideas, all very creative and lovely. Now to find the time to do it all.

I have finished the front part of the smocked little dress. It was the
most simple to do on my knitting machine. I am knitting the ribs for the
smocking by hand, but while I was doing that, I realized that I could have
done that on the machine as well. Just drop the stitches that need to be
purled and pick them up on the other side and with your latch tool knit
them back up. Learning as I go along as usual....LOL

Hi, Els.

I have the Family Circle Easy Knitting and Creative Knitting. I actually
broke down and bought a subscription to Creative Knitting! I haven't seen
the other one yet, but will keep a look out for it.

Mirjam I have not see the new issue of Interweave Knits. You are ahead of
me there. I will keep a look out for it. In Knitters is an older
publications and it is very good. Goes in great details about all kings
of techniques, etc. Shows samples and what I like there is a lot of good
style, simple models, you can add to or change.

I googled for In Knitters to find out where I might get it and not only
answered that question but found they had a downloadable charity
knitting supplement.

Great, I am happy you found it, I did not know about the on line charity
knitting supplement.

I find In knitters one of the best knitting magazines for learning. It
gives very good plain explanations. I have bought several knitting books
lately,one on lace knitting, and frankly when you have to learn that
technique, the explanations leave a lot to be desired.
