knitsceneJust got word via a press release that Eunny Jang is leaving Interweave Knits in March to “pursue other opportunities.” Lisa Shroyer, was has been the editor of Knitscene for the past five years, will take over as editor of Interweave Knits and Knit. Wear.

Jang has been editor of IK since 2007.

The press release says that Shroyer’s guidance has taken Knitscene from being an annual special edition magazine to a quarterly that this year is becoming a full subscription magazine (you used to have to buy it by the issue).

“Lisa has built a reputation as a creative editor with a great sense of style and deep knowledge of the knitting industry,” says Interweave yarn group editorial director Karin Storm.

The company is searching for a new editor for Knitscene. Wouldn’t that be an awesome job? I’m available…

  2. I miss Sunny too. She had such a friendly air about her that the new host doesn’t. The best to Sunny in whatever she does. I just wish the show could find someone with the sweet personality Eunny had.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
