Interweave has published another edition of Jane Austen Knits magazine, which features a wide variety of knitting projects inspired by the writings of Jane Austen.
Among those projects are lace handkerchiefs knit in Cascade Ultra Pima, textured gloves knit in Shibui Staccato, a lightweight capelet knit in Fibre Company Meadow, and plenty more.
Look for Jane Austen Knits on the teacart, surrounded by the latest magazines and books. See you at the shop!
For a few years now, Interweave has published special issues featuring knit garments inspired by the novels of Jane Austen. The best of Jane Austen Knits are now collected in a book, which you’ll find on the teacart here at the shop.
Designers like Vicki Square, Annie Modesitt, and Susanna IC are included, and garments range from sweaters and accessories for men and women alike.
This little bag is knit in Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift, and makes an excellent opportunity to try your hand at stranded colorwork.
Come by the shop to pick up The Best of Jane Austen Knits and plan your next project!
Two more new magazines are here, each inspired by stories of and about the past.
The Unofficial Downton Abbey Knits is full of knitting patterns inspired by the television series Downton Abbey, which is, for those who have somehow escaped seeing it, a period drama taking place in a British country estate during the early 20th century.
The garments in this issue suggest the era as well as the class of the show’s inhabitants, from the aristocrats upstairs to the servants downstairs.
This garter stitch beret is knit in three shades of Isager Alpaca 2, a favorite yarn around here.
This issue of Jane Austen Knits is the fifth such collection of knitting patterns inspired by the novels of Jane Austen. I found lots of familiar yarns within its pages: Swans Island Organic Washable DK in the cover mitts, Fibre Company Meadow in the “Dashwood Lace Stole,” Malabrigo Sock in the “Second Chance for Mr. Rushworth” socks, and more!

Two new special issues of Interweave Knits arrived in the past week or so: The Unofficial Downton Abbey Knits and Jane Austen Knits.
The first is full of knitting patterns inspired by the television series Downton Abbey, which is, for those who have somehow escaped seeing it, a period drama taking place in a British country estate during the early 20th century. Anne and I will confess that we have both watched the show from beginning to end, gobbling up episode after episode, and we know a lot of others who have done the same. The Unofficial Downton Abbey Knits looks at that favorite tv series through the lens of knitting, and that means not only Downton Abbey-inspired patterns, but also articles on knitting for the troops during World War I.
This issue of Jane Austen Knits is the fourth such collection of knitting patterns inspired by the novels of Jane Austen.
I was pleased to see many familiar yarns put to good use in this issue: a cardigan in String Theory Merino DK, a handsome scarf in Berroco Ultra Alpaca, and a shawl in Fibre Company Canopy Worsted.

Two new magazines came in this week: KnitScene and Jane Austen Knits, both of which are full of patterns for sweaters and accessories–plenty to keep your needles busy this fall and winter.
I was pleased to see that KnitScene profiles one of our favorites in this issue: Swans Island, a small company in Maine that produces organic, naturally dyed merino yarns.
For one way to make use of Swans Island’s Organic Merino Fingering, look no further than Jane Austen Knits.
(If that pattern doesn’t appeal, let me pull out our binder of Swans Island patterns for you–there are so many good ways to use this yarn!)
Come by the shop to get the newest fall and winter issues of your favorite knitting and crochet magazines, where you’ll find them on the teacart and the magazine rack. See you there!
