Interweave Knitsの Summer 2022 の目次

Dear Reader, Before sitting down to write my first Editor’s Note as editor of Interweave Knits, I mined the archives and looked back over the dozens that were written in the more than 25 years of this magazine’s history. Since the premiere issue in 1996 (the year I graduated high school), amazing women have each added their unique voice to these pages. Their work built the foundation of excellence in design, education, and technical expertise for which Knits is known, and all have my sincerest thanks for their contributions. Although I am new to this magazine, I am not new to Interweave. My career with this company began in 2006 when I was a stay-at-home mom making glass beads and wire jewelry in my garage. Denise Peck, editor of the…

Reminiscent of the work of French abstract artist François Morellet, the front and back of this top are each cleverly worked starting from the center block and working in the round out to the edges. The ribbed neckline and shoulder details beautifully accentuate the curves of the upper body without distracting from the garment’s bold linework. YARN Brooklyn Tweed Dapple Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 34 (38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70)" circumference at underarm. Top shown measures 42"; modeled with 5¾" of positive ease. Yarn Brooklyn Tweed Dapple (60% Merino wool, 40% organic cotton; 165 yd [151 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]): #765 Blueprint (MC), 3 (3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6) skeins; #785 Plinth (CC), 2 (3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5,…

To achieve their illusions, optical artists regularly play with the way our eyes register light. The Retinal Tee teases not only our sense of sight but our sense of touch as well. Ecopuno is an unexpected blend of cotton, Merino wool, and baby alpaca that is incredibly soft while being light enough for the perfect summer garment. YARN Lana Grossa Ecopuno, distributed by The Trendsetter Yarn Group Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 38 (42, 45½, 50½, 54, 58, 62½, 66½)" circumference at underarm. Tee shown measures 38"; modeled with 3" of positive ease.

Many optical artists experimented with shaping stripes to achieve various visual effects. Here, short-row shaping at one edge and the supple drape of silk yarn worked at a loose gauge achieve the same result when the shawl wraps the body. The Rule of Odds Shawl is worked back and forth from the narrow end to the wide end. YARN Handmaiden Fine Yarn Sea Silk Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 73" wide and 34" tall at point. Yarn Handmaiden Fine Yarn Sea Silk (70% silk, 30% Seacell; 437 yd [400 m]/3½ oz [100 g]): Kelpie (blue; MC), 2 skeins; Wine (CC), 1 skein. Needles Size 1½ (2.5 mm): 32" circular (cir).

The restaurant at Maison Fournaise along the river Seine in West Paris, France, was the location for painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s iconic “Luncheon of the Boating Party” (1881). The Fournaise Tee features a mesh lace panel that covers the entire back and wraps around the lower body to meet the narrower front panel. The sides close with shell buttons that beautifully catch the impressionist light of every day. YARN The Fibre Co. Luma Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 33½ (37¾, 41, 45¼, 50, 53, 57¼, 61½) " circumference at underarm. Tee shown measures 37¾"; modeled with 1½" of positive ease. Yarn The Fibre Co.

Worked from the cuff down to the toe, the tessellating colorwork pattern of the Aperiodic Socks is disrupted by a solid-color cuff, heel flap, and toe, as well as a striped gusset and sole. The juxtaposition of stripes and curves with a strong chromatic color choice makes these socks perfectly op-ish. YARN Debbie Bliss Toast, distributed by LoveCrafts Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 7¼ (8, 9)" foot circumference and 8½ (9, 9½)" long from back of heel to tip of toe. Socks shown measure 8". Yarn Debbie Bliss Toast (65% wool, 25% polyamide, 10% cashmere; 459 yd [420 m]/3½ oz [100 g]): #10 Gold (MC) and #04 Rose (CC), 1 ball each. Yarn distributed by LoveCrafts. Needles Sizes 1 (2.25 mm) and 2 (2.75 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary…

Italian painter Marina Apollonio expertly created optical illusions in her art. The Apollonio Shawl pays homage to her work as a three-quarter square design with rounded corners. The striking sections of red give the viewer a place to rest when taking in the vivid linework. YARN SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk DK Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 48" wide and 24" tall at center. Yarn SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk DK (65% silk, 35% linen; 248 yd [226 m]/4 oz [115 g]): Birch (cream; A), Jewel (dark purple; B), and Blood Orange (orange; C), 2 skeins each.

Originally published in Interweave Knits Summer 2012, the Seaglass Shell pattern has been updated with an expanded range of sizes and reflects a change in the yarn weight of Manos del Uruguay’s Serena yarn—a beautiful blend of alpaca and cotton. The Rivulet (translation: river) Lace panel wraps the top of the shoulder before joining the front piece. YARN Manos del Uruguay Serena, distributed by Fairmount Fibers Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 33½ (37½, 41, 46, 50, 53½, 57½, 61)" circumference at underarm.

Settle into the rhythmic flow of twisted-stitch waves as you work the Visual Tempo Shawl. The tussah silk blended with Merino wool in the yarn enhances the flow with a luscious drape and supple texture.

French-Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely is widely considered the “grandfather” of the op-art movement. His lasting influence is highlighted in the Vasarely Cowl. Diminishing-width squares become rectangles in an optical illusion—producing a colorwork motif that is as relevant today as it was in 1965. YARN Rowan Cotton Wool Difficulty Yarn Weight Finished Size 24¼" circumference and 9¼" tall. Yarn Rowan Cotton Wool (60% organic cotton, 40% organic Merino wool; 142 yd [130 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]): #205 Tiptoe (blue; MC), 2 balls; #209 Nutkin (brown; CC), 1 ball.
