Our hot winter issue is out now and ready for snuggling! Start with one of our top three teas, reviewed on page 9, and get comfy. This issue's patterns are all about cosy living in the great indoors. You'll love our modern sampler-style vest in bold winter colours, the glam frilled scarf and our funky winter cap. But it's not all about the patterns. We got personal with five movers and shakers in the knitting world – Kaffe Fassett, Debbie Bliss, Brandon Mably, Jo Sharp and Amanda Ducker told us what rules they love to break and live to keep. We also heard Melissa Doyle's heart-wrenching story about her trip to distribute knitted goods to children in Mongolia, and we've got the know-how on altering patterns to fit any size.

Packed with value, this issue features an exclusive 16-page mini mag with great ideas for using the new Sean Sheep yarns now in store at Big W. Plus, we honour the NSW Hand Knitters' Guild on their 20th anniversary and find out what's in store at Yarns Online. Teamed with the latest news, books and your great responses to our Cast Off call-out, this issue will keep you busy. Enjoy!
