knit.wear is back! Please join me in a highly demanded and joyful return to a most beloved title of the Interweave family. With its clean, sophisticated, and cerebral style, knit.wear allows me to venture into the other side of my aesthetic—the New Yorker side. For those who don’t know my backstory, I’ve spent most of my life between the mountains and rivers of the Hudson Valley and the imposing skyline of New York City. Th ese two places have equally shaped who I am as a person, a designer, and now an editor. With knit.wear, I’m able to explore in new ways the sleek, sharp, yet feminine side of knitwear design. As my schedule gets busier—and the days seem to get shorter—I have found myself gravitating toward less complicated projects with interesting…

The Story Behind the Fibers: WOOLFOLK YARN

When I landed in Portland, Oregon, for my interview with Kristin Ford of Woolfolk Yarn, I had an idyllic dream of the Pacific Northwest: gentle but steady rain, cloudy skies, and a mountain forest of conifer trees reaching out of the mist. While I packed for my quick visit, I glanced at my weather app and saw what I expected—little gray clouds with rain. When I emerged from the airport, I was decked out in my best rain gear: a black trench coat with a hood and rain boots. I didn’t know that I would really require hip waders, which my “chauffer,” Mr. Woolfolk, graciously offered to me. During the three days I was there, the Portland area received rainfall of historic proportions: about eight inches every day. From the Portland…

Mind of the Designer: MICHELE WANG

Designers are often asked what inspires them. For me, it has been a hard question to answer. However, because inspiration is integral to the work that designers do, I wanted to have an answer. Inspiration is, in fact, our starting point. Without it, we would have no voice, no vision. We would look out and, seeing no horizon, be absolutely lost in space. Although I struggle with putting what inspires me into words, I’ve been observing my own process more closely over the past few months, including during the big push for fall 2016 designs. Doing so has given me ample opportunity to ask myself how and why I land on a particular design. The answer now seems obvious and so simple: the knitter. As a designer, I’m inf luenced not…

AN EDUCATION IN LACE GRAFTING:

The Anna Cowl by Sarah Wilson (page 76) begins with a provisional cast-on, a type of cast-on that leaves the loops at the base of the cast-on row live (open) so they can be used again (either by working another piece in the opposite direction from the first piece or by joining the cast-on loops to other live loops using a three-needle bind-off or grafting). In this case, the live loops at the top of the cowl (the last row worked) were grafted to the live loops at the base of the provisional cast-on row to join the cowl into a seamless circle. Grafting is a method of joining live stitches using a tapestry needle and a strand of working yarn. A grafted join is invisible because it mimics the stitch…

Add a simple lace stitch and you get a sweet, old-fashioned design perfect for a cozy cowl. Worked in the round with an easy lace stitch, this pattern is suitable for new lace knitters or a good social knit for a seasoned knitter who wants to catch up with friends rather than focus on stitches.

Louisa means renowned warrior, and this cowl will work like a warrior to keep you warm. I used Th e Fibre Company’s Knightsbridge to knit Louisa. It is a lush heather yarn…

is an artist, a backstrap weaver, and a natural dyer living and working in Lawrence, Kansas, and the Kansas City area. Goss has focused the last five years of his life on researching and practicing sustainable arts processes.
