Lisa Shroyer to Take Over at Interweave Knits

Just 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…

Using your yarn stash is important to me throughout the year, but as I start to feel the end of the year coming on I get more excited about using things I already have in the house. Maybe that’s because I don’t want to go to a store in the thick of holiday shopping times, or I like the idea of having a little space in my stash when the new year rolls around.

It’s super satisfying to use up all the little odd balls you’ve made over the year (or years), and I have several stash busting blankets I work on when it’s cold and will maybe finish someday.

If you’d like to start a stash busting project that’s perfect for using up odd balls, check out the Soukish pattern from Neisha Abdulla. This pattern is made for fingering weight/sock yarn, and it’s worked in a tube with allover color work.

This is great for a couple of reasons. You don’t really have to weave in your ends when you can hide them in a tube (this is one time you might even get by just tying a knot when you change colors!) and you can change colors whenever you run out of yarn and it will look good.

Of course the pattern is made with blocks where the designer changed colors, but you can change yours more or less often as you need to make it work for your stash. You can use blank charts to design your own color combinations, or even your own stitch patterns if you like. You can also adjust the length of the scarf as needed or turn it into a cowl based on the amount of yarn you have.

This project looks like a lot of fun and would be a great thing to have on hand to stitch up and then to wear during the cold, gloomy months.

You can get a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.

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.
