Last month I finally completed the “Shaker Style Throw” from the partwork magazine “The Art Of Knitting”.
I have been knitting this throw for around 12 months and am really pleased to have finally finished it.
Here are the last couple of panels, before I sewed it all together.
Sewing the panels together took forever and the two rounds of crochet took even longer (not helped by the fact that I am not very proficient at crocheting).

Here is the completed throw.
I am really proud of this throw and am looking forward to beginning “The Scandinavian Throw” which is the next throw that “The Art Of Knitting” was doing.
All that is left is too find somewhere to put the throw, preferably somewhere that the dogs can’t get too as they love to curl up in my knitted throws.

would you sell your collection of the art of knitting?

I would be asking £50 for the complete collection of “The Art of Knitting” which includes binders. Postage would be on top of that price which would probably be quite expensive as the complete collection is very heavy.

Hi Scarlet,
Did you sell the collection or do you still have it for sale? I am happy to pay the price you quoted if you still have it? Thanks.

Hi Lynne
I still have the collection but am not sure whether I want to sell it anymore. It has just started coming out again and have realised that I would be selling the 149 issues plus folders for less than 33p per issue when they are selling for £3 per issue now.
I would also have to have a think how to post them as they are very heavy and bulky.
I’ll have a think about how much I want to sell the collection for and will let you know.

I really enjoyed making both the shaker throw and the scandinavian throw and have been very pleased with them as the last couple of winters have been very cold. I wouldn’t let my children take them to university incase they were stolen.

Hi my mum was ordering the magazine for me but she stopped at issue 79. She didn’t realise that it goes upto issue 90 to finish the throw. I’ve tried back ordering issue 80 to 90 but they’re out of stock at the moment. Is there anyway you could copy or scan the last 10 issues 80 to 90 and I can pay you for doing this for me.

Do you know is it still possible to get the pattern for this throw anywhere? My mum bought me a few issues when I was a child and I would love to finish it for her.
