Just because it’s warm weather that’s no reason to down needles and hooks. In fact, what better way to relax through the heat than by indulging yourself in yarn? Issue 5 features projects in cool silks and cottons to keep you motivated; total t-shirt renovations sure to freshen up your outlook; little gifts to whip up for any special occasion, and when the heat gets a bit much, we’ve got good reading -- Mel Clark on her book with Tracey Ullman; leisure reading lists of the int’l kniterati (including Margaret Stove, Anne Bartlett and the Yarn Harlot herself, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee). Check out our fresh array of patterns, news and reviews that tell it like it is.
