The issue looks great. I LOVED Katelynn Mayer’s article on knitters with bad attitudes. I’m also looking forward to working on the Sunshine & Fog Tunic and the Ruckle hat.

Wow...what a great give away! Another wonderful Knitcircus issue. Both the "Turning Point Shawlette" and the "August Pansey Shawl" caught my eye. Would love to work up both of these projects.

Such great sock patterns! I want to knit them all! I love Pico Accuardi's hand painted sock yarn, especially their "wicked" colors!

I like all the Lace, especially Dolcetto. There are socks and sweaters also that will make the "to do" list.

I love the sweater on the cover! Great shape and very versatile.
Amazing prizes, would be happy with any of them!

What a fantastic spread of prizes!!
I love the sweater on the cover of the next Knitcircus issue - I'm not a fan of sweaters that have to be tied to stay shut, because the ties inevitably droop or loosen, and the thing just doesn't stay looking very good for very long. But this sweater is great - it has that nice belt/tie look, but since it's just for show it would KEEP looking nice. I think I'm going to put this on my short-list of things to make...

I love the clever cables in Interwoven, but the sweater on the cover is a close second.

I have been thinking about using left over yarn to knit a few cowls, so the article about Lacey cowls stood out for me. And I enjoyed the interview with Jared Flood too.

So far I am enjoying the "Bad Attitude" article. I can't wait to read the rest of the magazine.
