The preview is up for Knitscene Spring 2013!! Yay! With every issue that comes out I just love this magazine more and more. The style direction is very 'me' and, in my humble opinion, Knitscene has the most wearable designs in all the knitting magazines out there. My opinion is probably very biased since I am lucky to have two designs in this issue.

First up is Edelweiss Cardigan. A short raglan sleeve cardigan with a stranded colorwork yoke in little flowers. Worked in the round with a steek that is cut open at the end. Cutting your knitting sounds like something out of a nightmare (or maybe knitmare), but once you try it you realize it isn't that scary. A sticky wool yarn plus a few rows of hand-stitching ensure that there will not be any disasters once scissors meet your sweater. Despite the small needles, once the yoke is complete this sweater just flies off the needles with all the plain Stockinette stitch.

Next up is Lilka Scarf. Take cables and lace to a whole new level by knitting them on the bias. With the addition of increases and decreases on opposite ends, this simple stitch patterns becomes tilted and looks far more complicated than it really is. This scarf is a really great project to show off hand-painted yarns.
You can buy the digital edition now, or wait for it to arrive in stores on January 22nd. Until next time, Happy Knitting!
