It's a lovely issue!! I like quite a lot of the patterns esp Anni's gorgeous Siena cardi Razz

There's a lovely cardi in Rowan Calmer too and some Bohus mittens and some gorgeous socks.

Definitely worth getting!!

Pictish can you tell me if the Morning Echo cardi is knitted straight up or top down in the round?

Anni's cardi looks lovely Very Happy

It seems to be bottom up all in one piece with the bands/lace panel all part of that piece to the armholes then you continue separately - so would be casting on about 240 st for the 36-38" size. It would really just be that bottom bit on circulars Jo but knitted back and forth. The top halves of the fronts are manageable on ordinary needles and the top half of the back. The sleeves are flat too.

It's a beautiful pattern!!!

I really like Magda as well in the Malabrigo Silk Merino Razz

I really must subscribe to this mag cos I do like it - it just gets better and better I think.

Thank you Ali - I think I would convert it to knit in separate pieces as I would rather sew up the side seams than have 240 stitches on the needle Laughing

It is a lovely cardi - I like the lace bands up the front, very understated but stylish I think Very Happy

It is very pretty!! You could adjust it easily I think Razz

I really like Morning echo and the top on the front cover too (even if it is modelled back to front)

I do like Anni's cardigan.
