We love this time of year. It’s still warm enough for light summer knits during the day, but the subtle chill in the evening gives us an excuse to dig out our favourite sweaters – and knit up a few more, of course! There are so many great projects in this issue for you to make. Julie Ferguson’s lace shawlette is ideal for using up a single skein of beautiful yarn. Or why not cast on some fun travel accessories, and do some not-so-serious stashbusting? Sarah Hatton’s sweet sea-green cardi is perfect for slipping over dresses during those late-into-the-evening BBQs and our dusky pink cover project by Debbie Bliss will be a winner with fans of vintage style. Once you’ve made room for some new stash in your life, make sure you read our run-down of the best new autumn/winter yarns. We reveal the top ten trends, and our pick of the new season yarns you’ll love to knit with. What are you waiting for?
