Knitty First Fall is Here

, by . 1 Comment

lewis pullover knittyI know I’m not at all ready to start thinking about fall, but Knitty is here with the issue it calls first fall. This issue is all about things that can get you through the end of summer and transition into fall, and there’s a bunch of pretties in there.

I particularly like the pretty, slightly lacy, slightly boy-inspired Lewis pullover, which looks like a great project for fall. There’s also the lovely Sugar Stick Scarf, which is actually a loop worked in two different yarns for a fun effect. And the super-long Nozky legwarmers, which go up and over the knee and a sized such that I could knit them for my three-year-old or for myself. Awesome.

See anything you have to put in your queue over there? I’d love to hear about it!

Wilderness Knits: Scandi-style sweaters for adventuring outdoors 23 knitting patterns for jumpers and cardigans to last a lifetime

Combining her love for the outdoors and knitting, Linka Neumann presents patterns for Scandi-style jumpers, cardigans, and a headband that will keep you warm and dry, no matter how rough the weather is.

Drawing on traditional Norwegian knitting methods, these designs for thick, woolly knits are not only comfortable and cozy, but also represent authenticity and style that has stood the test of time. Linka takes inspiration from nature and wildlife for her fresh yet timeless designs. From the Norwegian forests, snow-covered landscapes, and fjords to reindeer, wolves, and her beloved Husky dogs.

Many of the designs come with variations to suit all tastes, whether you prefer a jumper or a cardigan, a thick or thin garment, sewn-on arms or round yokes. The patterns include instructions for a range of sizes and for both female and male body shapes. There is also a pattern for making Linka’s signature Wilderness Sweater in children’s sizes.

The projects are showcased in a stunning Norwegian landscape that will make you yearn for the outdoors. And no matter how long or short your adventure, you will be cozy in your bespoke, home-knitted jumper. These knits chime with an eco-conscious, anti-fast fashion sentiment and will literally last you a lifetime of adventuring!
