Simply Knitting issue 43 on sale today!

The July issue of Simply Knitting hits the shops today, just in time for the good weather we're sure is heading our way! It's full of fun projects to start knitting today, and don't forget – even if you can't take your needles on the plane, you can always take your favourite magazine.

This issue is packed with luxurious summer knits, from our pretty Fair Isle top by Louisa Harding to luxurious but practical silk socks. We've also got a gorgeous textured tank top by Ruth Maddock,

Summer is a great time for small, light projects. We've got a cool summer curtain for you to crochet, and a DS Lite case to protect your favourite games while you're out and about. You can also cast on with Debbie Tomkies and learn to knit lace – it's delicate, lightweight and absolutely stunning!

We haven't forgotten the little ones this summer either, so we've got a pretty flowery cardigan for little girls and Alan Dart's gorgeous tooth fairy to will bring a smile to any child's face – loose tooth or no!

 

Other great things to look out for include:   
  • We're going behind the scenes at Lantern Moon.
  • Find out about Hat Attack – an international knitting tournament!
  • Free handy 4mm bamboo needles!
And don't miss any of your usual favourites. Our news pages are packed this issue (we've even got news about a new Alan Dart pattern you can knit for charity), our experts are on hand to answer your tricky questions and we've got some fab lacy stitches in our stitch library

The knitting disease

Looking for a knit that's so cute it could kill? Try this pattern for knitted bacteria from loxosceles.org

They'll make a fun gift for any friends working in medicine, studying the sciences or with a macabre sense of humour. (I admit to the latter.) Note that the pattern is written for US needles and yarn, so you'll need to translate them to their British equivalents.

We've seen a few medical knits around, but the most impressive has to be a complete knitted digestive system, pancreas, appendix and all. It'd make an entertaining novelty scarf for Halloween, that's for sure!
