knitscene Summer 2019 Print Edition

Description

Welcome to knitscene Summer 2019: The Fire Issue! In this issue, we focus on the element of fire through our color palette, stories, and patterns, and we explore fire through multiple lenses: as a tool, in its base components, and through its symbolism.

“Embroidered” is an accessories story that embellishes knitted fabric with embroidery floss and yarn. Don’t miss the tutorial on Kutch embroidery, a beautiful art form from Gujarat, India. “Deconstructed” celebrates openwork techniques such as lace and dropped stitches. The final story is called “Biased” because it celebrates bias knitting, bold angles, and exciting colorwork through seven striking patterns.
