This is Kara Gott Warner,
editor of Creative Knitting magazine, and with fall
approaching, it couldn't be a better time to
start planning for the cooler months ahead.
The September 2011
issue is filled with thirty
up-to-the-minute fall basics that will
keep you knitting happily for months to come.
So sit back, get those
needles ready and let's explore the
exciting issue.
Ecole Militaire by Silka Burgoyne
graces the cover of the September issue.
This intermediate skill level
design incorporates an interesting
use of cable work, combined with
military style double-breasted construction.
This piece is made with
Wool of the Andes from Knit Picks in a
dramatic black cherry heather.
This jacket is conveniently worked back
and forth on a forty inch or
longer circular needle, and finishing
couldn't be easier with very little seems to
sew or weave in.
Next up is Side-to-Side Style by
Trish Warrick. For an interesting
change of pace, this cabled cardigan
takes you in some interesting new directions.
This design is worked from side-to-side
meaning that you start on the edge of one
cuff and work to the other.
The crisp details of the cable work are
brilliantly highlighted in Creative Focus Worsted
from Rowan.
The next design in our lineup is Appalachia
designed by Ashley Forde Rao.
This pullover vest is made with Top
of the Lamb Sport, 100 percent wool
from Brown Sheep.
The focal point of this dramatic design is the
all over cable pattern that flares seamlessly
up through the neck into an exaggerated
cowl. This relatively simple
cable pattern is a great primer for
learning how to knit cables.
Knit your way through the seasons while you infuse
vibrant color into your wardrobe with
Spring Into Fall by Lynne Le Blanc.
The exquisite combination of color and
pattern truly make this design a work of art.
This piece incorporates eleven
shades of Balance, a certified or
organic wool and cotton blend yarn
from O-Wool.
The exceptionally warm White Mountain Kimono
Coat by Daniela Nii,
will enchant you with it's asymmetrical lapel
and deceptively simple stitching
elements. This coat is made in one piece
from the top down using Cocoon,
a blend of 80 percent merino wool
and 20 percent mohair from
Rowan. Up next is the Graphic Coatigan,
designed by Shirley MacNulty.
This bulky weight coat is made with
Peruvia Quick, one hundred percent Peruvian
highland wool from Berroco.
The rich color choices of bing cherry
and mostaza give contrast to
this all over slip-stitch pattern coat.
Designed by Cheryl Beckerich
the Chuncky Rib Trio is a great
primer for working in the round.
These easy skill set projects,
made with simple knit two, purl two
ribbing, will allow you to focus on learning
on how to work seamlessly without the
work on having to focus on detailed stitch
patterns. This threesome is made with Chunky
Merino Superwash from Plymoth Yarn Company.
Next up is the Blue
Haze moebius by Laura Bryant.
This unique design is constructed
from a rich nylon velvet ribbon
yarn, accented with nylon fur.
The moebius is made on a thirty-
six inch or longer circular needle
helping you to comfortably accomodate
the large number of stitches.
Our sample was made with Velvet and Fern,
one-hundred percent nylon from
Prism Yarn. If you're looking for that perfect
little accent scarf, take a look at our
I-cord Panache Scarflette designed by
Amanda Jensen. The unique double
I-cord draw strings echoe
Elizabethan ruffs,
only ours is much warmer. It's made with Sulka
a wool, alpaca and silk blend
yarn from Mirasol.
