Knitting, knitted felt, crochet, spinning—it's all yarn, so it's all good to us. This issue has a bit of everything: patterns, techniques to kick-start your spindle spinning, a knit-to-fit pattern workshop that will lead you gently through the sometimes troubling world of maths for knitters, plus lots of yarning, including the winner of the 2007 Yarn Magazine Prize from the Melbourne Scarf Festival! (You can download the free pattern right here.)
There's also an exclusive Q&A with knitting superstar Nicky Epstein, plus reviews of the best books out right now, places we've been, things we've seen, and the places we'll go. Enjoy!
Yarn Magazine is changing hands and soon the competitions, prizes and goodie giveaways will be back, better than ever! Keep up with the times at Yarnblog.
Meantime, don't forget you can always send in your letters to the editor. Recent 'bets letters' have picked up great stuff like Lantern Moon Rice Baskets, Clover Boxes o' Gadgets, copies of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's latest book, or Lucy Neatby's Sock Essentials 1 and 2. So keep in touch, and keep on knitting!
People really do win stuff from Yarn!
