Summer 2013

Publishing a single magazine issue is no quick process. Within that six to nine monthsfrom the first submission call to designers, through the knitting, pattern-writing, technical editing, and photo shoots, to final file production and page designmuch can change in the lives of the people working behind the scenes.

In the time it took to create this summer issue, weve had a fairly significant change on staffEunny Jang, the former editor, stepped down and I took her place. When theres a change of editors, given the way our schedules work, its impossible for one editor to sign off on an issue and leave the next issue(s) solely to her successor. So this issue of Interweave Knits and the next few to come represent an amalgamation of our efforts.

I am thrilled to move into this new roleits a culmination of my years of work in the knitting industry and in publishing. I came to Interweave eight years ago out of love for this very magazine. I worked with Eunny for six of those years, and its an honor to follow in her footsteps. I have fond, vivid memories of working on shoots with her: of me, the obsessively organized assistant, shot lists and sweater notes in hand, calling out We need to move faster! and of Eunny, the thoughtful visionary, finger on chin, analyzing the way light crossed the textured stitches of a gansey. We had a great working relationship, and now, friendship.

Summer has always been a time of reflection for me. The longer days, evenings on the patio, travel, drowsy weekends by the water, and long hikes to high peaks all offer the chance to look back and forward simultaneously. So it makes sense that the summer issue is my first as editor. Having been part of Interweave Knits for years, I can reflect on where weve been and what weve done. And now Im ready to take us forward. With a feature by Deborah Newton (see page 84), one of knittings grand dames, and a profile of Amy Miller (see page 42), one of knittings rising talents, this issue itself encompasses the established and the budding. It is a stitching together that feels right. I invite you to stay tuned as we continue making connections and handing down thisour love of knitting.

007_KNSum13.indd 7 4/11/13 11:28 AM

Silk is the original luxury ber, with the rst mention of silk stretching back thousands of years to ancient China. Long before jewel-toned skeins showed up in local yarn stores, silk was highly coveted by traders in Japan, Italy, England, and France. e cultivation of bombyx mori silkwormsdomesticated for so long that they cannot survive in the wildis an arduous, exotic process. ough bombyx silk is most common, silks from other silkworms are availablelook for tussah and Ahimsa silk, or for peace silk, so called because bers are collected from cocoons discarded by wild live moths. Long, ne, and supple, with a natural iridescent shine, silk bers of all types take dye beautifully. ough silk has impressive tensile strength, it is generally sensitive to abrasion, sunlight, and chemicals like those in detergent.

This seasons silk yarns have a versatil-ity that makes a luxury fiber comfortable for everyday wear. While they still require careful care, silk yarns containing tougher fibers stand up better to casual wear and larger projects. Blending with wool or plant fibers also tones down silks shine, leaving a softer radiance thats sophisticated without making the yarn feel too heavy. These yarns are the youthful, lighthearted cousins of heavier silks. Modern silk blends are full of personality, running the gamut from soft and haloed to rich with rustic texture.

Everyday GEMSSilk reemerges in comfortable new blends and constructions.

1 CLASSIC ELITE YARNS SILKY ALPACA LACEContent: 70% alpaca, 30% silk Put-Up: 460 yd [420 m]/1 34 oz [50 g] Construction: 2-ply Care: Handwash cold, dry flat Recommended Gauge: 34 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 2 (2.75 mm)

The classic combination of alpaca and silk shines in a tidy 2-ply laceweight. Another season-spanning blend, this yarn is insulating, but soft and light enough for airy wraps and shrugs. Its weightless warmth makes this yarn perfect for projects that will go everywhere, from spring parties to chilly strolls. Muted solid colors help the silk content shine through alpacas halo, and give the yarn a vintage quality for instant heirloom appeal. Variegated shades are also available for wilder effects. While this yarn is perfectly suited to complex lace projects, the soft halo and drape radiate elegance and comfort in the simplest stitches. The gauge is variable, so try it with a variety of needles.

008_009_KNSum13.indd 8 4/11/13 11:58 AM

2 KNIT ONE, CROCHET TOO COZETTEContent: 62% silk, 30% cotton, 8% polyamide Put-Up: 273 yd [250 m]/1 12 oz [50 g] Construction: 3-ply Care: Handwash cold, dry flat Recom-mended Gauge: 24-28 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 26 (2.754mm)

Cozette may become your new warm-weather staple. This cotton blend is easy on the hands, tempering both cottons stubbornness and silks slipperiness with a dry, powdery handle thats buttery soft. Cotton lovers will enjoy the beautiful drape that silk gives, and silk fans will be impressed by such a lightweight blend of ease and luxury. Cozette has a softly homespun texture with a casual, broken-in feeling that pairs well with a palette of pastels and brights. This versatile fingering weight drapes well at a variety of gauges, making it an elegant choice for everything from feminine shawls to swingy cardigans.

3 BERROCO FUJIContent: 38% silk, 25% cotton, 22% rayon, 15%nylon Put-Up: 125 yd [115 g]/1 34 oz [50 g] Construction: Novelty Care: Machine wash in sweater bag, cold water, delicate cycle; lay flat to dry Recommended Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rows = 4" (10 cm) on size 7 (4.5 mm)

A blend of natural and synthetic fibers, Fuji is a perfect example of a modern silk blend that can stand up to hard wearing. Its even machine washable! Fuji takes its raw, rustic texture from a clever construction; a deeply toned net of silk and rayon surrounds a lighter cotton core. Its quite firm for a novelty yarn, with a rounded, cordlike appearance that resists splitting while knitting. Each fiber takes dye differently, resulting in warm, tweedy colors that are softly muted. Dry and raglike in the skein, Fuji knits into a fabric with body and movement and a matte finish.

4 MANOS DEL URUGUAY FINO, DISTRIBUTED BY FAIRMOUNT FIBERSContent: 70% extrafine merino, 30% silk Put-Up: 490 yd [448 m]/3 12 oz [100 g] Construction: Singles Care: Handwash cold, dry flat Recom-mended Gauge: 2428 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 35 (3.253.75 mm)

A fingering-weight version of the popular Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, Fino is a lovely take on wool-silk blends that works for all seasons. Hand-dyed in large kettles on cooperatives in Uruguay, Finos exquisite striated colors show off silks affinity for dye exceptionally well. Silk gives the marbleized shades a beautiful sheen that looks equally good in openwork or swaths of stockinette. For larger pieces, alternating skeins is recommended to help blend differences in color. Spun in a soft singles construction, Fino is more delicate than the other yarns we tried. Cozy but elegant, this yarn is made for heirloom-quality pieces.

5 SCHULANA SILCO, DISTRIBUTED BY SKACELContent: 75% cotton, 25% silk Put-Up: 65 yd [60m]/1 34 oz [50 g] Construction: Novelty Care: Handwash cold, dry flat Recommended Gauge: 1214 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 1115 (810 mm)

An airy tape construction gives a floaty lightness to cotton and silk. Though technically a bulky weight, Silcos loose construction keeps stitches loose and breathable. The different fibers are visible in the skein and knit up with a variegated appearance that makes the most of Silcos ample texture. This yarn is soft and matte, perfect for sophisticated beach cover-ups or oversized sweaters. The drape is breezy and casual, especially at larger gauges. Needles with blunter tips will make easy work of handling the yarns open texture.

6 DEBBIE BLISS LINSILK, DISTRIBUTED BY KNITTING FEVERContent: 50% linen, 30% viscose, 20% silk Put-Up: 219 yd [200 m]/3 12 oz [100 g] Construction: 2-ply Care: Handwash cold, dry flat Recommended Gauge: 1820 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 67 (44.5 mm)

Linsilk is a summer-friendly version of familiar fibers. This worsted-weight blend of linen, silk, and viscose is velvety and plush, with an almost felted appearance in the skein. Soft and slippery on the needles, Linsilk knits up into a slinky, flowing fabric with dramatic drape. Silks sheen is pronounced in this yarn, playing well with glossy, long-stapled linen for a fabric that truly shines. While less rustic than some of the other yarns we tried, Linsilk does have a slightly slubby texture and a feather-light halo that are perfect for everyday elegance. Rich and regal, this yarn is a great choice for pampering wraps and sweaters.

7 SHIBUI KNITS HEICHIContent: 100% silk Put-Up: 105 yd [96 m]/1 oz [50 g] Construction: Multi-ply Care: Handwash only in luke warm water, dry flat Recommended Gauge: 1620 sts = 4" (10 cm) on size 68 (4-5 mm)

For a thoroughly modern take on pure silk, try the beautifully heathered Shibui Knits Heichi. Taking its name from the Japanese word for juxtaposition, Heichi is a luxury yarn that feels casual and contemporary. This raw silk tweed has a natural, beachy texture that can be dressed up or downthe soft, organic finish downplays silks signature shine, but retains a smooth, flowing drape and understated elegance. A wide palette of colors keeps the tweedy effect fresh and new, in shades from neutral to electric. The fairly loose multi-ply knits up with surprising lightness for worsted-weight silk, making this yarn a versatile pick that can be worn in all seasons.

NOTES

The chart is worked using the intarsia method. Work as many stitches as necessary in the indicated color to the color change marker, then work in the other color to the end of the row. Twist yarns at the color change to avoid holes.

On some rows of the chart, the same color is used for the entire row. Do not cut the other color. When working the following row, the unused color from the previous row will be in the correct position to be carried up and used.

To lengthen the sweater between the waist and lower edge, repeat Rows 8796 of the chart; each repeat adds about 1 " in length.
