The good news is that I am as excited about working on our next issue as I was of the very first and I can honestly say that I am as proud of each individual issue as I am of the current one. People were saying for the first 30 issues, 'Wow, this is one is better than the last! How can she keep this up?' I still have plenty of ideas!!!' KNITWORDS magazine features designers and contributors who share the same high standards and attention to detail. Meet some of our regulars...
