January 2026 (Issue 336) with Bill King and lots of designs

Our January 2026 cover design is the perfect partner to every pair of jeans, in finished sizes from 82-87cm (32-34in) to 125cm (49¼in). It’s in our mix of patterns for standard, mid-gauge and chunky machines. Alison Dupernex is a constant support and Bill King shows us how to knit shadow lace without a transfer tool. Susan Guagliumi’s expertise lives on in the Machine Knit Community, the new custodians of Susan’s invaluable online content. It’s time to get to grips with your chunky machine and ribber, so head for our Techniques section. Joan Lafferty takes us through her journey introducing an electric motor to her machine and Lichfield MKC members rise to the challenge of knitting a full-scale model of a house under construction. We show you how to do a latch tool cast off when you can’t go three sizes looser, and pull up the top of a beanie without leaving a hole. It’s a packed issue with techniques and help, advice, news and reviews.
