Hot on the heels of the rant they published a few weeks ago (which may have sparked a little ranting at Simply Knitting HQ – and some very sensible comments from our readers), the Guardian has gone further than we could have hoped in redressing the balance, and has published The Rebel Knitter's Guide.
It's a really fun collection of patterns from a new designer, and as well as simple patterns, there are a couple of more complex pieces, using colour work, shaping and even some lace socks. We like it a lot, and all we can say is "Bravo!" to Mazz, and hope that lots of Guardian readers are inspired to take up their needles.
As all the patterns are free to download from the Guardian website (some are PDF documents, some web pages) you can cast on today for a fruit or iPod cosy – or that rather nice bag...
