Wool Studio Volume 8 is here, inspired by the Albert Einstein quote: “Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” These rules apply equally well to knitting; after all, what is knitting but turning a chaos of string into an elegant, well-made garment? And every knitter knows that a challenging pattern is a chance to learn more about their craft and develop new skills. The nine projects in this collection feature simple, everyday elegance with an added element to elevate the design and add a hint of challenge. #woolstudio⠀ ⠀ Take a look inside the issue in our stories today (Wool Studio highlight after) and find the collection at https://interweave.com/knitting! Plus, find a link to an exclusive giveaway in our stories today, where you could win a skein from one of our Wool Studio yarn sponsors. That giveaway is only available through 6/18, though, so don't delay!⠀ ⠀ Our cover project is the beautiful Baden Pullover, designed by Nicole Reeves @niksknits1 in @plymouthyarn Worsted Merino Superwash, in the Sage solid colorway. Bold cables zigzag up the front, back, and sleeves of this stunning pullover. Stripes of seed stitch and reverse stockinette stitch add texture to the body, sleeve caps, and hems. The Plymouth yarn is the perfect match for the project, with the tight plies adding definition to the cables.⠀ ⠀ Take a look inside and savor the gorgeous designs!
