Check out the Vogue Knitting Holiday 2012 Preview

October 17, 2012 by Sarah White

vogue knitting holiday 12Vogue Knitting’s holiday issue will hit newsstands Nov. 6 (though you can download it now on your iPad), and the fashion preview has just been launched so you can start planning the projects you want to make.

Stories in the issue include Hip Parade, which is all about peplums; For the Frill of It (clutches made with self-ruffling yarns); Scarlet Fever, a collection of little red dresses; Graphic Content, which is all colorblocked tops; Pale Riders, a set of accessories worked in winter whites and icy pastels; and Top Brass, sweaters and coats with brass buttons and other military-inspired details.

There are also a couple pattern from designer Tom Scott, who talks to the magazine about his inspiration and architectural aesthetic.

I’m loving some super-long cabled socks and an oversized colorblocked tee in this issue. Check it out and let me know if anything’s getting added to your knit list!

    That’s a really good question that I don’t have the answer to. I’m not sure that it’s widely available in Africa at all. There is a contact phone number and e-mail for subscriptions outside of North America and Europe, so I would start there. http://www.vogueknitting.com/frequently_asked_questions.aspx#7 Good luck!

    Rozelle, I live in Australia and i subscribe to Vogue Knitting digitally on ISSUU dot com. If you google it you should find it, I know it’s not the same as a print copy but I like to make sure I get every issue, hope this helps. You can also purchase single back and current issues.

Knit a Linen Stitch Hot Pad

Linen stitch is one of my favorite knitting stitch patterns that, every time I use it in a project, I think about how I don’t use it often enough. 

It’s an easy stitch to make, with slip stitches done with the yarn held to the front of the work on the right/front side and to the back on the wrong/back side, which makes the strand of yarn a visible part of the pattern. 

It also makes a fabric that is thick and looks kind of like a woven fabric.

I recently used linen stitch to make a double-thick pot holder, which I worked in a kind of interesting way. I didn’t want to have to do any sewing on the project, so I started it from a crochet cast on and picked up stitches from the side of the cast on to make the hot pad all in one piece in the round with the edge sealed. 

This requires working on two circular needles, which is another technique I don’t use that often and am always reminded how much I like it when I do. 

The combination of double thickness and the stitch pattern makes for a hot pad that’s already pretty thick, but I also added a bit of old towel to the inside before I closed up the end to make it super thick and extra protective for your surfaces. 

I found the engineering challenge of this construction method to be a lot of fun, but you could also just knit it as a tube (casting on twice as many stitches as I did) and sew up the ends by hand when the knitting is done. Either way you’ve got a useful and pretty addition to your kitchen, whether you work it in a solid color, stripes or as a stash busting project will all your cotton odd balls. 

You can grab the pattern over at Our Daily Craft, or check it out on Ravelry.
