The Summer 2011 issue of Knitscene arrived today, which was a lovely surprise.

There are plenty of things to knit during the summer and I hope that this issue inspires you to keep your needles busy, no matter what the weather.

Starting this year, Knitscene will be released quarterly. That means a new issue every three months! Interweave has been dreaming up more fashion themes, more tutorials, and more photoshoot ideas than ever.

To start the year off, the Knitscene Winter/Spring issue features some really cool new designers, an array of unusual constructions, and pretty little knits that make a fashion statement.

Knitscene editor Lisa Shroyer says:

We’ve searched the globe for the coolest in simple knitting and made a stop in the Baltic—check out the Magnanimity Cardi from Finnish designer Veera Välimäki and the Scandinavian styling of the colorwork projects in “Don’t Steek Me.” We looked for the finest in plant-blend yarns and found unusual combos: cotton and alpaca, flax and wool, and more. Lustrous silks, seed beads, bits of lace and light—they put sparkle in your winter and also transition into spring with ease.

We looked to knitwear trends for Spring and saw lots of one-piece dolman styles, just like Melissa Wehrle’s Chiton Pullover (named after the draped and pinned dress of Ancient Greeks). We found menswear references, just like the styling of Debbie O’Neill’s designer collection. Folk and Boho elements remain strong—perennial influences on the Knitscene look and feel.

Beyond the projects, you’ll find tutorials on custom raglan sleeves, using art yarns, styling your handknits, how to avoid steeks in colorwork, and some lively illustrations.

When the Spring 2010 issue of Knitscene magazine was published, knitters went crazy and I’d never seen a magazine snapped up so quickly.  Well the Knitscene Autumn 2010 issue will be hitting the shops in a couple of weeks and so that knitters don’t miss out, we’re accepting pre-orders of what promises to be another popular issue.
