The theme of this issue is Folk, and has a strong, wintery, Christmassy vibe. It’s all lagom and hygge and maybe for a bit of fun – kalsariokanni – winky face.
In it you’ll find a stuffed Santa, fair isle socks, multiple lacework garments, and a huge embroidered chunky knit shawl I designed.
In a few days I’m going to come back and talk about my design process, because that deserves its own post, but for now let me share some of the lovely patterns you can make from the issue.
These houses are designed by Maria McPherson, and I love them so much that I’ve started working on my own! The yarn is Cotton 8; you’ll need about 3 balls, and some scrap felt and cute buttons, which we all have lying around the house!
This blanket is by Esther Dijkstra, and the photo really doesn’t do its size and beauty justice. It’s a firm favourite from this issue.
Lastly, I’ll share Tammy’s Stone Washed/River Washed tunic. The tunic which evolved from having a ‘little bit of fair isle’ to a full blown mosaic wonder.
You’ll have to get your own copy of YARN – Folk so you can see for yourself. And also add the designs to your Ravelry queue so we can see what you’re making.
It, along with all the back issues are available from Scheepjes stockists.
You can also order online from:
These retailers may take a few days to get their stock online, so if you’re in a rush, try the new kid on the block: Habbedash* – they store all sorts of lovely luxurious yarny goodies.
