In its first ever summer issue, Knitscene explores plant fibers, quick and unusual accessories, and great layering garments. Who says people donメt knit in the summertime? This is a dynamic time of year, characterized by long days, sun-lit activities, and wild color. We travel, we find time to relax, we spend time in air-conditioning and along the rims of volcanoes. Knitting fits so well into summertimeラitメs easy to pack; it makes plane and car rides fly by; it fills the idle hours waiting on a picnic blanket for fireworks; itメs the very relaxation we seek. Summer knits donメt need to stand shyly by while fall knitting looms like the yearメs main event. In that vein, this issue is brimming with fabulous must-have knits and need-to-know technical info. Every page is inspiring and lively, while the knitting itself is simple and fun.
