We've taken over restaurants, run after trains, stood in tat-infested bams, asked models to climb cliff faces, and chased civilians from city streets—all to get that perfect shot. I've been sunbumed, windbumed, soaked through every layer, frozen, scratched by cats, and bodily exhausted on shoots. And have loved every minute. There is no fulfillment like working with a team to make something big. As I look back on the photography from this issue, and as I plan the shoot for the Winter issue, I'm reminded of the constant challenge of creativity. We've shot a lot of knits in a lot of places, with a BhBtos By Ary Palmer lot of different looks. But every issue, we have to doit all again, and do it com- pletely new, fresh, and do it better. That's how creativity drives us. The next idea is never the last one. That's what makes knitwear designers so amazing tome— they put out one awesome design, and then they come up with more. [recently wrote an email to designer Romi Hill (Live Oak Shawlette, page 40) in response to her newest design for us. It went like this: “Every design, you amaze me more than the last.” Where does that endless creativity come from? For our staff, as we plan issues and shoots, it's all about problem-solving. Here is our budget, here is our schedule, here are our resources, here is the season, here's what's trending in the knitting world, here's what we've done before, And, go.

An American working in China as a sweater designer for Free People, Amy Small found herself uninspired by factory life and longing for some workilife balance. So she went freelance in Hong Kong and then started her own yarn company there. In late 2010, with yarn her sole gig, Amy decided to move home to Philadelphia and to transfer manufacturing to India. “When I first began in Hong Kong, I worked freelance jobs and oversaw the first two spinners in my studio. I leamed every aspect of how to make the yarn and our little fac- tory run well, which has been invaluable. The problem with Hong Kong was seally the overhead costs: the rent was so high, and it didn’t make business sense to stay there.” A trip to India proved serendipitous, and now Knit Collage employs twenty-four women in Punjab to spin their yarns, Amy's working on fairtrade certification for the yarns, four of which are completely handspun. “One amazing thing about India is the rich history of textiles and embroidery. I love being able to incorporate these into the yams." Block-printed fabric and silk sari scraps work their way into the Rolling Stone yarn line (see right). The art-yam style of the Knit Collage collection is unmistakable, Fabric scraps mix with crocheted flowers and fibers such as mohair, camel, and Angelina Sparkle. “I realized while at Free People that I'm more of a surface design person, less of a fashion designer. I was always the one doing crazy embroidery ot knitted swatches, but ‘wasn't great at coming up with new fashion shapes. I like designing yarn because it’s not as trendy as clothing. I love spinning art yarns because of the design freedom.

Asked what she'd like knitters to think about when buying yam, Amy says: “Many people complain to me about the price of our yarns, so I'd like to raise aware- ness about the spinning process. It's a minimum of one hour, sometimes two, to spin one skein, but on top of that there are many other jobs that go into making the yarn. For example, making crochet flowers, preparing the other ribbons and trims, carding the fiber, setting the yarns into place, plus, most importantly, quality control and packaging, It's a very time-intensive process combined with many different ingredients and components—fifty- five colors of fiber and seventy-plus trims, When choosing materials, don't be scared to try something wild!"

You pilgrimage to classic attractions such as Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the British Museum. But what you really want to do is explore the knitting capital of a country renowned for distinctive sheep breeds and yarns and venerable knitting traditions. In anticipation of Every Knitter's London Dream, | offer a guide to three of that city’s most interesting LYS. Each is distinctive and a pleasure to visit. Bear in mind that these shops are unlike most in the United States. Specifically, their yarns gener- ally cost more than what you'd pay at home. Yet many of these yarns aren't available at home, and their rereness, quality, and beauty provide reasons to acquire. Besides yarns unique to the British Isles and the United Kingdom, you'll find unusual European yarns and whimsical, lust-inspiring accessories. Then you'll understand why American knitters who live in London adore these places. They are, simply put, magical in ambiance and catalysts to creativity. & knitscene.com All the Fitn of the Fair Embedded in a boutique-filled galleria, All the Fun of the Fair lives up to its name. The playful knitter will love this tiny, colorful shop for its unique knitting notions, charming buttons, amigurumi pastries and vegetables, costume jewelry, and toys. The yarn selection is probably the least expensive in London and includes a range from the British Isles: Cygnet, Sirdar, Rowan, Skein Queen, Heritage, and Colinette. Small batches of local yarn are randomly avail- able. The shop is staffed by personable young women who give lessons and knitting advice. In the same neighborhood are much larger stores with yarn departments. Lacking the intimacy of a LYS, they provide, however, a useful comparison. Liberty of London features Rowan’s flagship concession with an outstanding selection of Rowan yarns and magazines; the John Lewis department store is heavy on Rowan and Debbie Bliss with an array of Noro, Gedifra, and other quality yams, A happy afternoon can be spent floating around all these emparia. www.allthefunofthefair.bigcartel.com, www.liberty.co.uk, www.johnlewis.com + Li Knit London Z Knit London Feisty, quirky, I Knit London styles itself “a club, shop, and sanctuary for knit- ters.” It's a bright spot in the gritty Waterloo neighbothood where proprietor Gerard Alt and his Chihuahua, Pandora, oversee a devoted, eclectic com- munity. I Knit London is one of the only LYS in the world with a liquor license, and there are twice-weekly knit-ins with drinks both hard and soft. Other events, such as fund-raising tea parties and knitting bees, support charitable causes. The shop's layout, open and light, makes you want to plunk down on one of the overstuffed sofas with your latest project. 1 Knit London has a huge selection of knitting books, magazines, and notions, and a fine array of yarn from the British Isles, such as Wensleydale Longwool, alpaca and Corriedale from Devon and Cornwall, and the Colinette and Fyberspate brands from Wales. This is a place for browsers. Plan to spend a few hours even if you can't make it to one of the knitting socials. Also nearby are the London Bye Ferris Wheel, the Old Vic theater, and the Tate Moder museum, www. iknit.org.uk Fallll knitscene 9 0 knitseene.com Loop, amidst the Camden Passage antiques district, may be the loveliest yarn shop in London. Two floors of its jewel- box building, decorated with scrolled ironwork and vintage furniture, are filled with luscious, addictive yams from the United Kingdom and Europe, such as Old Maiden Aunt (Scottish handpainted), Juno (British silleand-alpaca and merino-cashmere hand-dyed), Shilisdair (vegetable-dyed from the Isle of Skye), and Danish B.C. Gern organic Semilla. Loop has an excellent notions selection, too, including much-prized Knit Pins birch needles and crochet sets (unavailable in the United States), and adorable vintage and handmade buttons. There are beautiful, unique gifts, such as embroidered shawls, handmade toys, and omate pincushions, that are as ravishing as the yams Loop carries. In its comprehensive array, Loop resembles a luxury American LYS; it was born when owner Susan Cropper (@ transplanted New Yorker, author of Vintage Crochet [Watson-Cuptil, 2007] and Pretty Knits Potter Craft, 2007]) sensed the need for the range of merchandise American knitters expect.

Amy's ten-part series offers a far kinder and gentler version of What Not to Wear designed specifically for knitters. ‘Amy Herzog, a trained mathematician and knitwear designer, lives in New England with her husband and two sons. Amy's tutori- als and sweater designs, available at www.stashknitrepeat.com, exemplify her simple philosophy: “As knitters, we have the ultimate power to create couture garments perfectly suited to our figures every single time. Your handknits should make you look and feel like a million bucks.” Hecentuatle the Positive Amy finds beauty in everyone. “As women in this culture, it is impossible to see ourselves in an unbiased way,” Amy says. “Every- one who comes into my classes, regardless of her size or shape, is obsessed with some part of her body. What she doesn’t see are her natural assets.” Her remedy: teach knitters to make sweaters that enhance their attractiveness and de-emphasize problem areas. Amy starts by having students determine whether they are hottom-heavy, top-heavy, or proportionally shaped. 12 knitscene.com Proto by Cara Hann Sheds Bottom-Weavy Shapes With bottom-heavy shapes, the hips or thighs are proportionally larger than the rest of the body.

Figs 2@ and 26: Téa work internal wast darts, mark the back stitches al 1/3 and 2/3 and the front stitches a 4 and 3/4. Work shaping a these prarkers. What to do? Modify, of course! This article will step you through common sweater modifications, when they're needed, and how to work them. We begin with the single most important choice you can make about a sweater: its size. Sizing: A successful sweater is one that fits your shoulders. The average measurements used in clothing design assume a figure with a relatively small bust and narrower shoulders. If you have a larger bust and/or broad shoulders, you should choose a size based on your upper torso instead of your full bust measurement. To take that measurement, pull a tape measure snugly around your upper torso, high up in your armpit (Fig 1). Choose the sweater size with a bust measurement closest to your torso measurement, allowing for recommended ease. If you have a small bust and broad shoulders, work hip and waist instructions for a smaller size, increasing to the chosen size at the bust. If you have a larger bust, accommodate it with bust darts. Bustline: As a sweater stretches over a large bust, it shortens in length—resulting in a sweater that’s shorter in front than in back. The busty knitter has two choices: First, she could add length to the front of the sweater with short-rows. This approach works well for sweaters incorporating patterns such as cables, and there are many online resources for working short-row bust darts. Vertical bust darts are less well known and can be even more flatter- ing than short-rows. They are worked by increas- ing extra stitches for the bust on the front of the sweater only, between the narrowest part of the waist and the armhole shaping. These stitches can be decreased into the neckline edge as it is worked, after the fullest part of the bust has been reached. Vertical darts are easiest to work when the pattern can accommodate extra stitches, such as stockinette or ribbing. All three of my designs in this issue of Knitscene make vertical bust darts a snap. Fall11 knitscene IZ Making Mods to Your Knits Waist Shaping: Most knitters look best in sweat- ers that include at least a bit of waist shaping, and many of us are smaller in the waist all around rather than only at the sides. To complement this shape, move your waist shaping to two lines in the middle of your sweater pieces rather than at their side seams: Simply place markers separating the stitches for the sweater back into thirds and at 25% and 75% for the sweater front (see Figs. 2a and 2b). Work your shaping at the markers. Decreases should slant in toward the markers; increases should slant out from them. Knit- ters with a thicker waist should still use some waist shaping, but they often look best in sweaters where the shaping is heavily concentrated on the back of the sweater. Torso Length: Sometimes, the only modifica- tion necessary is to change the length from hem to underarm. To find your best length, don a shirt whose length you love and measure up from its hem to rough- ly 1%" below your armpit. (This often lines up with the top of a bra band.) Compare this measurement to the same length on your sweater pattern’s schematic and adjust accordingly. (Remember, if you're knitting the sweater with negative ease, add length to compen- Curved or hourglass shaping tricks the eve into Seeing a Clirvier wast.

You may then need to spread out or compress the waist shaping by working more or fewer “plain” rows in between the shaping rows. Bulges and Bumps: Finally, many of us have some manner of bump or bulge that always seems to cause our sweaters to fit improperly: a rounded back, a pot belly, et cetera. Adding length to accom- modate that troublesome spot via short-rows is often the answer. Add 1" of short-rows to the front hem of a sweater to nicely cover a tummy; the same inch at the top of the sweater’s back perfectly offsets rounded shoulders. Thope this article has given you the courage to modify your knits and create your next favorite sweater. Remember: It’s your knitting—make sure you love it!

A seamless yoke is actually straightforward by definition: a sweater with a yoke (the section of the upper body that encompasses front, back, upper sleeves, and shoulders) that has absolutely no seams. By contrast, a non-seamless yoke has seams at the sleeve-body join, The stitch orfentation of and number of tows in the sleeves usually do not align with the body, making continuous patterning on the upper body impossible, These constructions, such as the set-in or drop-shoulder, also feature shoulder stitches that need to be seamed, front to back. The seamless yoke makes a great canvas for colorwork and uninterrupted stitch ‘patterns—see the pullovers above and opposite.

Teap-Deown Construction Seamless yokes can easily begin at the top or at the bottom of the sweater. But for the knitter who wants to avoid seam- ing as much as possible, a top-down seamless yoke sweater is Imitting nirvana. Stitches are cast on for the neckline and then increases are worked, either in diagonal lines (a raglan) or in a concentric pattern for a circular yoke. The body and the sleeves are separated; the sleeve stitches are placed on hola- ers; then the body is worked in the round to the hem.

Work Herringbone st (see Stitches) until piece measures 3° If you worked bust darts: If your bust is a C cup or larger and you selected a size based on your upper torso measurement (see page 16), you can add bust darts to ensure the cardigan fits properly over your bust. Select how many bust darts to add either by measuring or by using this rule of thumb: An “average” C-cup should add 1" of bust darts; a D-cup 2", and s0 on. Determine the number of sts to add by multiplying by stitch gauge, and split them equally between the cardigan fronts {The sample cardigan shown has 4 sts added to each front piece.) To determine placement of the darts, subtract 8" from your measure- ment to armhole shaping and divide evenly by the number of sts you «will add, Then multiply by row gauge to determine the number of ‘even rows in between the darts, (The sample shown separates the inctease rows with 9 straight tows.) All increases should be complete before armhole shaping begins, Add sts as follows: Ine row (RS) ‘Work a lifted increase, knit to end. 54 knitscene.com You will also need to decrease the additional sts you added for bust darts while decreasing sts to shape the front neck edge.

Divide the total number of sts to decrease by the number of rows in the armhole, plus the shoulder slope. {If your row gauge matches that specified in the pattem, this is 57 (57, 59, 60, 64, 65, 65, 67, 67, 67] rows) Round down; this is the number of rows you should work in one decrease “set.” The calculation for the sample, with 4 sts added to the 32' size, is as follows: 9 + 4 = 13 sts to decrease over 56 rows, The actual calculation is one decrease every 4.3 rows; rounding down, the sample is worked with one decrease every 4th row. from CO, ending with a WS row.

Notes The stockinette-stitch portions of the body and sleeves of the cardigan are worked with a single strand of yarn; the lower ribbing of the body and sleeves and the lace panels of the body are worked with doubled yarn to create a contrasting texture. The lace panels are worked at the same time as the rest of the body. The body is worked using three balls of yam at the same time, one of which is worked across the entire piece on every row, and an additional ball for each lace panel. Because there's a slight row gauge difference between the lace panels and the stocki- nette portion of the body, a few short-rows are worked into the body of the cardigan.

Notes The garment's lower band is worked first, then stitches for the body are picked up from one long side edge of the band and the body is worked in one piece to the underarms, Fronts and back are worked separately above underarms. Hidden princess-seam waist shaping is worked on each side of the two reverse stockinette-stitch side panels, making shaping almost invisible. Use the same color for all four waist-shaping markers. Read the pattern thoroughly at armhole, neck, and shoulder shaping areas as they occur at the same time, at different intervals.
