Simply Knitting issue 54 on sale today!

The May issue of Simply Knitting hits the shelves in shops around the UK today – and it contains part two of Alan Dart's Medieval Mice. The basic mouse pattern will not be printed in this issue so make sure you get a copy of issue 53 too if you want to knit the mice.

With the warm weather well on its way we've got a great collection of spring and summer knits for you. As well as the gorgeous yellow cardigan by top Rowan designer Marie Wallin, shown on the cover, we've got a casual tunic top for every day and a smart lace cardigan.

We've also got a pretty one-skein summer scarf and two fab knits for little ones: an adorable baby papoose and a crochet baby blanket – perfect for new arrivals!

Issue 54 includes the second part of Alan Dart's Medieval Mice.

PLEASE NOTE: The basic mouse pattern was printed in issue 53 and is not in issue 54. If you missed issue 53, please visit www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk or call 0844 848 1602 to order a back issue. Pattern only available while stocks last.

So you can get started straight away, we've got four designs for you to use your bamboo bag handles with, from simple stocking stitch to complex Fair Isle. We've also got great ways to finish your bags, giving you even more choices.

While I really appreciate your interest in my wedding dress, I do hope you spelled my last name correctly in the article! (It's "Mancuso", not "Manscuso".) :-)
