Knits Magazine Summer 2008 Cover
Imprint Tank Knitting Pattern
Keep knitting all summer long with easy twenty-three projects that burst with color, pattern, and line: Slip stitches, stripes, stranded colorwork, intarsia, and embroidery all seem fresh and new when worked in silks and cool cottons. PLUS: Breezy lace, the real deal on the new regenerated yarns on the market, a look at the life of a commercial sweater designer, and a special interview with Meg Swansen with a bonus pattern.

“I just love your magazine. I have been a long-time subscriber and I never get bored or tired of it. The Great Gifts ideas from the Summer 2005 issue were fabulous. I made several of them for Christmas presents and they were a big hit! Keep it up!”

“Thanks for such a lovely magazine and some truly inspiring patterns. You do such a nice job… thanks!”
Pat Gould
Voorhees NJ

“I treasure the magazine—my copies show the wear and tear of my handling them over and over (even your advertisements are colorful and informative.) I have improved my knitting skills by making many patterns you publish that are irresistible, and I have been inspired to depart from old knitting habits by the creativity of your knitters.”
Elizabeth Johnston
Westmood MA

“I appreciate that you not only have wonderful clothing projects but include other fun items like purses, and rugs, and such. You are all very clever and it’s so much fun to see your magazine arrive each time. I set aside a little quiet time for a cup of coffee and a good romp through the current issue.”
Kay Young
