As you can see from the image on the home page I am launching a new magazine with Soho Publishing who produce great magazines,such as Vogue Knitting.
I have a passion for magazines, whether working on them,contributing to them or simply reading them.So to be given the opportunity to have my own knitting magazine really was a dream come true. There will be two magazines a year and the
first issue is out in September and is a mix of brand new designs and a selection of my most popular ones from previous publications.There are fashion knits, home designs, baby blankets and more!
There is also a technical workshop and query page and interviews with designers that I really admire such as Melody Griffiths, plus inspiration pages.
Look out for it not only in your local yarn store but also in newsagents too.

I have just got back from the Pitti Filatti show in Florence where I saw all the yarn predictions for Autumn/Winter 08.Lots of textured knits around still with fancy yarns taking a back seat.I am trying to forget what I saw however as I am still working on my Spring 09 designs!
I am going to be visiting the following stores next month:
Friday 12th September.9-12. at the Wa Waas Wool N'Bits, 22 Parkhouse Rd. There is a ticket price of 6 pounds of which 5 pounds will be refunded on a Debbie Bliss product bought that day.

1pm. Thread Bear
350 Limpsfield Rd,Croyden,Surrey.
0208 657 5050

6 pound ticket refundable on the day on a Debbie Bliss purchase.
At both stores I will be booksigning and showing garments from the new A/W collections.There are two brand new yarns this season, Rialto 4ply a lovely lightweight addition to the popular Rialto range and Como, a superchunky roving which is perfect for the generous jackets and coats there are around.Both yarns are accompanied by a booklet, Rialto Classics and Como,plus a collection called Winter Essentials with designs in new shades in my existing ranges,such as the cashmerinos. I wil have knits from all these design books and this will give you the chance to try them on!

Happy Knitting !
