http://theknitter.themakingspot.com/magazine
On pages 63-66 there is a super design by Nick Atkinson called "Clevedon" which uses Wendy Supreme Cotton Chunky in Pale Blue (1422) and White (1420).

The Knitter issue 44 cover

Shown above it is the "middle" design at the bottom of the front cover and this textured show stopper in Supreme Cotton Chunky produces a dense, soft fabric offering excellent stitch definition.

Happy Knitting.  As always I would love to hear from you and also received photographs of finished designs.

Guerilla Knitters - Fabulous

http://saltburn-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/2012/03/guerilla-knitters-stitch-up-saltburn.html



Knitting keeps turning up over night on the Pier at Saltburn by the Sea.  What a fabulous time someone (or a Group) must be having.

Here is a snippet from the above article link:-

"What's the point, though? "It's about making people smile and bringing art out of the galleries so everyone can appreciate it," is the comment of Magda Sayeg, one of the world's most revered guerrilla knitters.
Although we are not able to reveal the identity of the Saltburn yarn bombers we can confirm from a reliable source that this particular piece is the work of more than one individual and it has captivated everyone who has seen it."
It was mentioned on Daytime TV this morning and commented that it was "very British".  If you are in the area go and have a look.
