Knit Simple Hat and Cowl

The Fall issue of Knit Simple has two more of my designs along with scarf and fingerless mitts on the cover. Don’t forget, it’s hitting the newsstands next week.
My Checkerboard Beanie is included in the “10 hats for under $20” feature. The editors sent me Softknit Cotton by Rowan Yarns in sunset red and dark lime–an interesting yarn choice for a Fall project.
I would probably consider using wool as I did for the swatch I knit for the submission; I used Cascade 22o in three colours. You could easily use up left overs from other projects for this hat. Imagine each stripe as a different colour!
The Coral Cables story features my Giant Cowl in Koigu Wool Designs’ Bulky. I enjoyed knitting with it and although it doesn’t really remind me of Koigu’s signature colour style, the colourway was lovely. I call the cable pattern snakes and ladders.
Have you started thinking about Fall knitting projects yet? For me, I feel like it’s still too early in the summer. I don’t want to wish it away with woolly sweaters quite yet.

Holli, the issue is already out. I saw it last week at Gina Brown’s Vancouver and forgot to mention it. I know you said it would be out July 23, but I think that may be the mail out issue (not that I know that for sure). In any case I have actually handled the magazine and looked at all your patterns in it.
