It was the fall of 2013. Some of you may not have even owned your business in the yarn industry yet, while others of you had been at it for well over 20 years. Some of you had not yet become parents; others were close to becoming empty nesters. A lot can change in five years, but of course, a lot can stay the same. Five years ago, Yarn Market News made a change. Because of dwindling advertising dollars, we announced that we would be publishing three issues a year instead of five. And this issue marks our first all-digital issue, born out of both a desire to go green and to help the magazine’s struggling bottom line.

  • Berries and Buds Beret Di Alice Twain
    Berries and Buds Beret di Alice Twain This fall-like beret uses the lovely pure cotton Circe or the recycled wool Amore to maximum effect. The tightly plied texture and vivid colors of the yarn create an unusually elastic fabric with a unique softness and elasticity which enhances to the maximum ribbing, cables, bobbles and leaves. The result is a romantic and fresh design that, if knitted in Circe, will add that light touch of protection in cool but not yet cold weather, if knitted in Amore is perfect for the winter cold. The hat is a slouched beret that will fit an average woman’s head. For a smaller size to fit a child, skip rounds 4-6 in the second repetition of the bobble section (there will be only 3 bobbles) this will make the hat both smaller and shorter. You may also skip a few plain rounds before you work the border. For a longer, wider hat, add 2-3 extra plain rounds.

  • Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January
    NEW YORK, NEW YORK 6,000 Knitters and Industry “Knitterati” to Gather for New Event Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January. Popular Classes Already Sold Out More than 53 million people know how to knit or crochet—and the number is growing. Following the successful premier of Vogue Knitting LIVE in Los Angeles last year, Vogue Knitting magazine announces a new event at the Hilton New York January 14–16, 2012 . Knitting, an ages-old craft, is taking the world by storm. Professionals, Hollywood A-listers, and rock stars have all joined the ranks of knitters, and Ravelry, a popular social media site for stitchers, boasts close to 2 million members. Its benefits are renown: A Harvard study from 2007 concluded that knitting may be as effective as medication in reducing stress. “We know that knitters love getting together at yarn stores to learn new techniques, compare projects, and hear from top designers. We’ve simply taken that to the next level by creating the largest live gathering of knitters in New York,” says Trisha Malcolm, editor of Vogue Knitting and originator of Vogue Knitting LIVE. Vogue Knitting LIVE caters to knitters at all levels—from the knit-curious to experienced designers and crafters. In 2012, knitters can expect: • More than 75 how-to sessions, some of which are already sold out. Topics like “An Overture to Estonian Lace” and “Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns” bring 200-year old techniques to new generations. Other sessions such as “Happy Hat Knitting” and “Sock Innovation” focus on specific types of projects.
