                                                                           to take inspiration from the written word

                                                                           84) that are inspired by a poetic form
                                                                           and Lana’s stunning Kavana shawl,
                                                                           inspired by the rhythm of beautiful

                                                 When winter rolled around this year, I immediately started making
                                                 garments, which is unusual for me! Regular readers will know that
                                                 I very rarely   nish a jumper but I’ve just cast off my second of the
                                                 year and I’m looking for more! If you’re on the hunt for a gorgeous
                                                 garment to get your needles clicking too, why not try our cover star,
                                                 the Traveller pullover (page 20)? It’s knitted in my favourite shade!
                                                 I’ve also been eyeing up Anni’s Marcel jumper (page 88) – I think it
                                                 would be a really versatile addition to my wardrobe.

                                                 While you’re deciding what to cast on   rst, why not make yourself a
                                       50        comforting mug of hot chocolate and settle down for a good read?
                                                 We’ve got some fascinating articles this month, including a pro  le
