In this issue

Welcome springtime with colorful knit creations! In this spring issue of Creative Knitting, we celebrate all things light and lacy, with beautiful florals and airy yarns, as we get ready for the sunshine that's soon to come.

· Captivate with clever color play and freshen up your spring wardrobe with the delicate Rosselle Shawl. Light and lacy, it’s the ideal cover-up for spring, featuring an intriguing color gradient and perfect shoulder shaping.
· Knit your own flowered masterpiece and rethink the usual fringe with the vivid Laclede Scarf. Open and airy drop-stitch columns give way to I-cord “stems,” each blossoming with color!
· Look lovely in layers as you use lace and lightweight yarns to work up perfect transitional pieces. The brilliant Lipson Shawl combines a crescent shape with interesting construction and an attractive stitch pattern to create a stunning piece you can wear all year long.
