Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Anyone fancy a knitalong form one of the Let’s Knit projects?

Hi yes thats a good idea, Im currently knitting a bunny, not got very far & have to knit two!!And i have the yarn to knit the gorgeous moss green bag on the front cover of the first issue. I’ll get some pics,xx

I’m doing the baby cardi from iss 1 at the mo

I want to tackle an Octopus Wash Mitt (or several - I have various young nieces).  Hopefully will get to a local yarn shop tomorrow and will then post piccies/progress.

I’ve ordered wool for the candy jumper with buttons on in the latest issue. So when it arrives I will need some encouragement to start and then keep going because there’s alot of ribbing.

I’ve made some progress on the cardi: back and left front now complete.

I’ve ordered yarn for the Little Angelique, for my nieces 4th birthday. I can’t wait to get started on it!

It looks gorgeous, your niece is very lucky.

Right front of the cardi done, plus collar, and started with the sleeves.

oo...never done a knit along before!!! I have JUST got Issue 5, the first knitting mag I have treated myself to in many years!! BIG issue though..what do I start with?

whatever sticks in your mind when you close the mag, “first thought, best thought” I usually find.

I’ve ordered wool for the candy jumper with buttons on in the latest issue.

Me too

But I’m doing it in different colours to those shown and I’m not putting on the buttons.

I’m quite excited about the wool though. They say its the best selling yarn in the States. I dont know if thats true or not.

So if you fancy a knitting partner I’ll let you know when my wool arrives.

Mind you I’m struggling through that lovely jumper for the chaps from last months issue at the moment and I havent even finished the back yet

I would be happy to join in a knit along - as long as it’s not socks. I just don’t get the whole sock thing!

I understand not getting the whole sock thing but i love sock yarn the self patterning ones are ace for baby hats and cardis good by to trying to do fairisle and getting lost in the pattern it does it for you tee hee.

Hi Comfrey,

My wool arrived a few weeks ago. I’m using green wool, just not the colour in the mag. Haven’t decided on buttons yet. I’m moving between knitting, cross stitch and patchwork projects. Just using the school hols to get some making stuff done. Am currently kniting another pair of socks and a cardi I started a while ago. Let me know when you wool arrives. What colour have you chosen?

Hi Phoebe

I had to ring up paviyarns because my wool hadnt arrived and apparently theyre getting a deluge of requests.

I wonder why .......

Anyway it should be here in about a week because they have to order from the States. So I’ll let you know when I’m ready to start. I have to warn you though, I’m not fast.

I’ve ordered the dusky pink with a burgundy trim, which is something completely different from my norm. But I fancied a change

it sounds a good colour combo. I’ve got the yarn to make that for my daughter, I had better get a move on before its out of fashion!
