The Summer 2007 issue of Knits is our annual Special Occasion and Family issue. Look for sweaters and accessories for the entire family—including a snappy dog sweater designed by Jil Eaton. There will be plenty of year-rounds sweaters, as well as warm-weather knits to bring along on vacation. Accessories include Véronik Avery’s spiral boot socks, Kate Gilbert’s Fair Isle hat in three sizes, knitted biker gloves, and a lace bag to carry your yoga mat. In addition, Ann Budd tells how to knit a sock in any size from the toe up, and for practice, she offers a practice pattern—a pair of ribbed socks that can stop at the calf or extend to the knee. We also review the latest—as well as classic—sock yarns and books on socks, we learn about Swedish designer Katarina Brieditis, and find out why Nato loves Latvian mittens.
