We stroll the streets of this unique, creative neighbourhood, stop by at a local café and pick up flowers from the marketplace. The issue includes twelve beautiful knits to complete your autumn outfits: they feature luscious cables, fascinating textures and innovative stripe patterns — not to mention some meditative stockinette stitch and simple colourwork.

In Julia Wilkens’ Waveform shawl, wave-like chevron stripes create a rhythmic up-and-down motion, widening gradually at the end. The unique feature of Alice Caetano’s Sixty-Five design is that from far away, it looks like a sweater with thick horizontal stripes — but closer up, you see that the texture has vertical stripes in it, too!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eIssue 26, Autumn 2025, includes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e148 pages \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e12 knitting patterns: 6 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 1 gilet, 2 shawls, 1 pair of socks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAn interview with Elena Solier Jansà, the founder of the Catalan yarn brand Xolla, who works to preserve the local sheep breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAn article about neurodiverse knitters and makers — why is the creation of stitches a particular balm to a neurodivergent brain? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eJeanette Sloan’s column Fibre Talk, where she meets Chinua “Chin” Matthews: a knitwear designer and teacher living in California, USA. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Five Ways article about how you can increase creativity in your daily life and in your knitting projects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhere I Knit: A regular piece that pictures people knitting in their favourite spot.
