Loyal readers are really important to a magazine like ours, and for a while now we've been wanting to say a big THANK YOU! to you. As we can't come round to say our thanks in person, we've been working extra hard to give subscribers two bonus pages of content each issue. From issue 45, as a subscriber you won't see our subscription offer – after all, you've already got one – but instead you'll get two more pages of your favourite magazine. We've got lots of ideas for the page, so look out for patterns, offers, giveaways, interviews and more! And don't forget, we love to hear your ideas too, so subscribers can find out how to make suggestions on page 35.
If issue 45 has already landed in your letterbox, turn to page 34 for a peak behind the scenes at Simply Knitting HQ and our special subscribers only competition. Once you've found your key word, come back here and follow the link for your chance to win 30 of our favourite yarns.

Zesty Lime, issue 44
There's a bit of a problem with the abbreviation for tw2 in the Zesty Lime cardigan pattern from issue 44 of Simply Knitting. Two abbreviations have got conflated, and the tw2 instruction doesn't seem to be clear enough. The abbreviations should read:
tw2 sl 1, k1, then pass the slipped stitch over, but don't take it off the needles, and knit into the back of the slipped stitch.
m3 (K1, P1, K1) all into front of next st, thus making 3 sts out of 1.
Please note: m3 is a completely separate abbreviation. You don't need to m3 as part of your tw2.
