Lisa Shroyer to Take Over at Interweave Knits

February 22, 2013 by Sarah White

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…

    I miss Eunny. Can’t get excited with shows with Vickie. So long KDTV.

    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.

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
