From cosy comforts to creative challenges, we love celebrating knitting!

Some projects soothe us, others stretch us – and SK loves delivering a bit of both. This issue if you’re after comfort, Sarah Hatton’s quick cardi is the perfect cosy fix, while Jane Burns’ Brianna Bear jumper is joy in yarn form. Feeling braver? Pat Menchini’s leaf jumper offers a gentle challenge with textured detail, and Siân Brown’s Fair Isle cushion adds a splash of colour. We couldn’t resist Susan Cowper’s Woman on the Moon Tea Cosy either – reminding us that we really can do anything! And for those everyday indulgences, Becca Parker’s wristwarmers and Amanda Berry’s house iPad cover show that creativity doesn’t have to be complicated.

Our gifts this issue are hat-topped point protectors (print copies only) and a Winter Accessories pattern book.

Simply Knitting is available in English only.
