After many months of anticipation, I’m delighted to finally share with you that my Halcyon Daze design has been published in this month's Knit Now Magazine (issue 170). It seems a long time ago since early January when I submitted my design outline, and then the subsequent pattern and knitted sample were sent off to the Knit Now team in early March. Halcyon Daze is a multi-way wrap which, once you get into it can be a good option for TV or more social knitting. It's a simple rectangle knitted flat with easy to memorise lace stitches and moss stitch edges. Cleverly placed buttons and button holes along the edges enable this summery wrap to transform into a sleeved shrug, poncho, tube scarf or cape - you may even come up with another way to wear it!

It's always a thrill to see one of your designs printed in a Magazine. Especially these days when we view most things online - I really enjoy the convenience of digital publications, but there is something really luxurious about settling down with cuppa in hand and a real paper copy of a magazine, don't you think? Do you treat yourself to the occasional magazine? If so, what's your favourite and why?
BTW - If you are wondering were you can get a printed copy, Knit Now is widely available in UK newsagents and supermarkets, but you can also get copies online here.
