The tops came off my shawl pins also - mine went in the bin Embarassed

I bought this issue in the shops yesterday, shawl pins thankfully intact! I rather like them, and they should come in useful for things like the jacket in Nomad I'll be making this winter Very Happy

I've also just resubscribed to SK, caved in when I saw the Mili bag offer Laughing

Easily bribed with knitting accessories! They do still do a basic offer for subs without the gifts, but the extra is still a lot less than the bag would cost, if that makes sense ....

I'm always up for a free Mili bag Laughing

but I'm subscribing already - I like it for the articles about new yarns and what's happening as much as anything. It's usually got something of interest too - did it have the Rowan Colourscape pattern this month or was that Knit Today? Embarassed

admits to being a knitting magazine tart Laughing

It is a nice pattern for a gilet anyway from the new book Razz

That must have been Knit Today with the Colourscape pattern, sounds nice!

It's this one DC - I like the colourway it's done in too.

I like the colourway too, that's a gorgeous pattern. How many skeins does it take? I have 4 that were intended for the Skye wrap Very Happy

4 for a 36-8" (actual = 41") same for the next size down which is 37.5" finished Cool

There's a nice jacket in the mag as well actually (why I bought it) which is a wrap in cream Artesano Aran with a biggish collar but the guage is 18st so you could use any aran.

Thanks ali, might have to get the mag - not one I normally buy as I found the early issues rather uninspiring. Sounds worth it for the patterns though Very Happy
