QUIRKY de Kim Hargreaves. 8 Designers to Watch in 2012: Knitscene’s Hot List - Inside Knitscene. Last year, I posted a list of 10 hot new knitwear designers to watch in 2011. Looking back at that list, I’m struck by how far some of the designers have come in a year—we see their patterns published everywhere; they’re teaching at events and headlining exotic knitting retreats; they’re writing books; they’re continuing the work of design day in and day out, with all that’s involved in being a self-employed creative. I’ve also had the chance to work a lot of with those 10 designers, which has benefitted Knitscene, Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts, and Interweave Knits Accessories greatly.
Thanks for a great year, guys! So this year, I’d like to start a new hot list. The 8 designers below are contributors I’ve been working with a lot lately, who are either new to the industry or have recently found a foothold in publishing. Or, forgive me—they may simply be new to me! Look for their designs to appear in upcoming issues of Knitscene. So that's our list for 2012! ~ Lisa.
