Meet the New Editors at Interweave Knits and Knitscene

May 30, 2013 by Sarah White

lisa shroyer interweaveAs I told you a few months ago, Eunny Jang, Interweave Knits’ editor since 2007, left the magazine with the summer 2013 issue. Knitscene editor Lisa Shroyer has moved up to edit that magazine, and Amy Palmer has taken over as editor of Knitscene.

If you’d like to know more about these ladies, you can check out Lisa’s and Amy’s introductory posts on Knitting Daily.

I always think it’s kind of fun to watch how magazine change with different editorial leadership. IK and Knitscene are two really distinctive magazines that have somewhat different audiences with different tastes and styles, so it will be interesting to see how new editors change the look and feel of these knitting publications.

As an aside, I thought for about half a day about applying to run Knitscene. Wouldn’t that be an awesome job?

    I quit my subscription to IK a couple years ago, asked for a refund. Too much negative ease and proportions that made even the models look fat. For awhile IK was adventuresome. Than . . . every issue just made me angry. I found the brand new issue at my library in South Lake Tahoe, CA, the subscription dedicated to the memory of some well loved knitter. I sat there and relished every single page. So many interesting ways to keep warm. Love the black and white mittens, the baby jacket. Lovely! Welcome, Lisa! Now about that white cabley sweater in the picture . . .

    I have had the opposite reaction to the Fall 2013 issue of Interweave Knits, and I didn’t even know Eunny Jang was not longer the editor. Right now I am glad I did not renew my subscription, but instead opted to buy individual issues for a while. There was not one single pattern in there I would make for myself, though there were pretty things. They all seem designed for super-skinny fashion models, clinging to the body everywhere. Any that did not, I did not find attractive. And there really didn’t seem to be too much variety in the projects, either. As someone who has lost a massive amount of weight, I do not want body-clinging patterns at all. The next time, I will be smart enough to thumb through the issue so I won’t waste what little money I have on a magazine I regret buying.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
