WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU – CHECK OUT YOUR

AMAZING PROJECTS IN THIS MONTH’S READER GALLERY!

“Dear Let’s Knit,

My fiancé, Sam, kindly

bought me a Let’s Knit

subscription when he

knew I’d be working

from home and had

seen how much I had

enjoyed reading your

mag once I’d started

to learn to knit. My

mum taught me in early 2019,

and both of us are hooked

(well, maybe ‘needled’ is

more appropriate!).

My mum’s creations, Let’s Knit,

and the readers sending in photos

of their lovely makes, have inspired

me to be a bit braver. I’ve attached a

couple of photos of the things I’ve tried

recently – the snowman encouraged me

to try my first colourwork from a chart

too! I feel so lucky to have been

introduced to knitting by my Mum – it’s

my go-to for a sense of calm, as well as

pride, when I see what I’ve created with

a small amount of colourful yarn.”

Abbie Chapman

Thank you, Abbie, it’s great to hear

that the kits encourage you to try

new things!

“During lockdown I have knitted all my kits

and numerous patterns from my monthly

Let’s Knit magazine. I loved the Let’s

Knit Cuddle & Love Baby Knits

bookazine that came with issue 166

in January, and I especially loved

the patchwork teddy pattern by

Sachiyo Ishii, so much so that I have

now completed four of them. Keep up the good work, looking

forward to my next project.” Cathy Gibson

Fab colour combos, Cathy!

Introducing...

Marion Marsh

How long have you been

knitting? 38 years.

What’s your worst disaster?

Trying to teach myself lace

knitting on a cardigan

when I was expecting; I

could not seem to get the

pattern right and ended up

asking my mum to finish it!

Why knit? I just love knitting,

but it’s great seeing my grandchildren

in the things I have created for them.

There is love in every stitch.

Your best knitting tip is... always keep

some easy knitting with you so if you get

delayed anywhere you’ll have something

to occupy yourself with.
