FIT TO BE TEED

DRAPEY KNITS

SPRING REFRESHER

SPRING BREAK!Springtime always makes me think of layering projects, since the weather can be so changeable. It’s also when I want a change from the big sweaters and big yarn that make up my winter knitting. Send in project and article proposals that will break readers out of the winter blues.

• Fine Lines—smallish projects made with laceweight, fingering, and sportweight yarn. Shawls, socks, lacy accessories and jewelry designs are all acceptable.

• Drapey Knits—unfitted, casual athleisure garments for women and men. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: achieve drape with yarns at DK weight or above. Give me drape without sacrificing speedy gratification!

• Spring Refresher—home décor projects that spruce up living rooms, kitchens, kids’ rooms, and more. Whimsy is welcome.

• Fit to Be Teed—light, season-spanning T-shirts, with interesting neckline or collar variations.

Article Suggestions:• How necklines affect the look and fit of garments. • Balancing comfort with style: when does “oversized”

become sloppy or unflattering? • Knitting for the home—practical considerations, aesthet-

ics, etc.

General notes: Love of Knitting accepts garments and wearable acces-sories for men, women, kids, and babies, along with bags, throws, and other home décor items. We prefer projects in the easy to intermediate range—ex-perienced projects, as defined by CYC, are rare in this magazine. Our readers tend to buy affordable quality yarns more often than luxury yarns; please bear this in mind when suggesting materials.
