It's time to start Knitting Ahead! This is the first in a blogpost series to get those knitting needles working again after the summer lull. As I wrote last week, autumn is just around the corner! Before we know it, the temperatures will start to drop and the winter snows will arrive.
However, before that happens we will have the joy of all the beautiful Autumnal colours to look forward to. It has already started here in New England, with the berries ripening and the leaves starting to get a reddish tinge.
However, one colour that really stood out on a recent walk in New Hampshire was not red, but green! The greens were as vibrant as if the leaves were fresh and new. All too soon they will be turning yellow, but for now they are a wonderful shade of green, contrasting with the dusky haze of the distant hills.
So here are some cushions which capture these colours and will bring early autumn‐time right into your room.

These are the Hyland Cushions and they feature Woven Reed Stitch from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. This is a lovely combination pattern, with ribbed sections in-between blocks of texture giving a very complex-looking pattern. The ribbing also helps to grip the cushion insert well, so that the covers stay in place.
Cushions are a great way to update your decor. They are quick to work and you can just make one or two for an easy way to add impact. Then when you want to get ready for Thanksgiving or the holiday season they can be unzipped and replaced with some new ones for a completely different look.
If you would like to see more details about this pattern, please click here. Then all you have to do is find where you stashed your needles before the summer break, dust them off and make a start on some autumn knitting!
Happy Knitting Ahead!
