I've been writing as Purl About Town since 2008 and have seen the magazine change over time. This year we got a new Editor Christine Boggis and it's been great to see how she's put her own stamp on the magazine. The month it's the Men's issue which I think its a particularly good one.
It's refreshing to see a man on the cover for a change. I wonder if it makes it stand out on the shelves more?
Inside there are some great articles on male designers including
Easyknits and
Steven West, both of whom I'm a big fan of.
My favourite feature this month is that several of the male knitting patterns are show on both men and women.
I think this works really well as we all like to climb into a boyfriend, dad, or male friend's big cosy jumper from time to time. I'm sure there are lots of jumpers that have migrated from one part of the wardrobe to another over time. I think the designs they have chosen work equally well on both sexes and I just thought the idea was really fresh for the magazine.
Why not check out this month's Knitting Magazine and let me know what you think?
