NEW Interweave Knits Accessories 2009 ~ $18.95
Interveave is kickin' out the jams this fall, their third special issue just arrived - Accessories. It is so new that Interweave doesn't seem to even have it up on their website yet (which you know, if you are a follower of their publications, sets a precedent because they normally publicize on their website well in advance of shipping). It's not specifically a gifts theme, but accessories are normally small projects and small project make perfect holiday gifts. Patterns include scarves, cowls, wraps, shawls, ponchos, socks, hats, berets, headbands, mitts, gloves, gauntlets/fingerless mitts, and a pair of lace cuffs to get your get your inner frou-frou on (note, you probably should avoit eating soup while wearing froufy lace cuffs). There is also an article on how to knit socks (from the cuff down). There are patterns for men, women and children - but as always, the bulk are for women.
One thing I noticed is that this issue is predominantly (but not exclusively) a compilation - while there are some new patterns, there are also a lot that have been re-published from former publications. It's sort of like the flash-back episodes on the Simpsons - a bunch of classics bound together with some novel new material. The patterns are taken from both their books and magazines. Off the top of my head i recognize some from Knitscene, Scarf Style, Interweave Knits, Getting Started Knitting Socks, Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts, Boutique Knits and Wrap Style.

NEW - Ma Belle Baby Kimono Kit
Ma Belle is a super pretty little Kimono Cardigan made with 2 skeins of Dream in Color Classy, a soft, hand dyed, machine washable wool. We made out store sample with the colour Petal Shower in size 2 years and we had more than enough yarn leftover to make a hat. This pattern is super-duper pretty and not at all hard to make. The kit is currently $44, but prices may vary based on the exchange rate (for better or worse) and customs duties.

NEW Mission Falls Tulips Baby Cardie Kit ~ $65
We really liked the Tulips baby cardie pattern, but the yarn it was designed in (which is gorgeous) doesn't it into everyone's budget. So what we did is swap in Mission Falls 1824 Merino Wool in some kits to help spread the love. The kit comes with the pattern and 9 balls of Mission Falls in 8 colours, enough to make a size 6-9 months, although it knits up a bit thicker to a 22" chest (according to the Craft Yarn Council a 22" chest is supposed to fit a 3 year old, but I'm not buying it. The sweater in this kit should definitely fit an 18 month old and possibly a 2 year old).
The kit is currently available in 2 colourways, Autumnal (above), and Traditional (below). Of course, we can always dream up your own colourway too!

NEW - Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts
I am so sorry it has been so long updating the site. We've been really busy with so many of you coming in and so much new stock arriving! Fall is always a heavy time of year for new books & magazines, and I can barely keep up with them!
Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts
This year's gift issue is packed to the rafters with great ideas! It is a little more expensive this year, ringing in at $18.99, but it is packed with patterns and it's been selling well so I don't expect it will be around too long. You can see all of the patterns HERE. If you like small projects in general, this issue is for you. There are also a few good mens' sweaters, which is a rare commodity. We also still have copies of last year's issue, Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2008.

Rocketry Kit on the Shelves!
Our Dream in Color Rocketry Baby Cardigan kits are one the shelves now! We've test driven the pattern while making the sample and in the process made a few improvements on the pattern and composed a gender neutral colour combination. This is a simple cardigan knit in the round from the top-down. The yarn is hand-dyed, 100% merino wool, and machine washable. The pattern is easy to follow and a quick, satisfying baby knit! The sweater fits size 6 to 9 months, finished chest measures 21” and finished length is 11”. Kit costs $74 and there is more than enough yarn in it to make 2 sweaters (of varied colour sequences). The buttons in the kit have been chosen to suit a boy or a girl, but if you like you can exchange them for flower or heart buttons (for girls), or square buttons (for boys).
Kit Includes
• 6 x 115m of Dream in Color 'Classy'
• Original Dream in Color Rocketry Baby Cardigan Pattern
• Knit-O-Matic revised Rocketry Baby Cardigan Pattern
• 4 buttons & sewing thread
• Eucalan or Soak packet
• Garment Label
• Zippered Kit Bag
Kit Does NOT Include
• 4.5mm-29” circular needles

This special issue from Interweave Knits looks like a keeper! I expect I'll have to re-order soon, but you should make sure you get a copy because the print run is sure to run out and once it's gone. (Interweave will likely eventually publish the patterns on their website for you to purchase but they cost $5 (US) each, making magazines a really great deal in the long term.)
By the way, keep your eyes peeled for a series of 8 freebies on knittingdaily.com starting Sept 18! Also remember, Interweave's free patterns are not always offered forever and some are only free for a limited time, so be sure to download the free patterns you like and ferret them away somewhere safe, like on a USB Flash Stick.
