Dear Readers, It’s been a while! When one of our contributors had to take time away to recover from an operation I decided to take it as an opportunity for the whole team to take a couple of months off. Yes, I said team! Although many of our detractors assume I am a lone wolf, in my bear cave, writing poison-pen articles no one reads (I love a mixed metaphor, don’t you?), it is far from the case. Blocked has a team of unpaid, mostly unsung, writers, designers, proofers, and graphic designers, who may, or may not, work on every issue, but they are all valued and intrinsic to the success of Blocked. So, it is with sadness and gratitude that I have to announce The Laziest Knitter’s departure. Before rumours spread, Lazy and I have not fallen out, argued, or had creative differences. Far from it. Lazy just feels she has said all she had to say on knitting. At least for the foreseeable future. She may return, she might not. It’s entirely her choice and the door will always say WELCOME. Thank you Lazy for all your help, you have no idea how much you are appreciated. Speaking of team members, Blocked is always looking for contributors. Please send your articles, patterns, artwork, etc, to: blockedmagazine@gmail.com or blockedmagazine@gmx.com For this issue we have the theme of “Numbers.” Not all the pieces here within will necessarily relate to the theme. It’s just a guide to help with inspiration. Over the weekend I asked Annie (a British knitter I met online and now know in real life) what she thought about when asked about knitting and numbers. Her response is on page 26. As Annie implies, pretty much everything in knitting and crochet relates to numbers. I’m currently obsessed with the fact we have reached double figures! Issue 10. Who would have thought? As we approach our two year anniversary (Jan. 30, 2024) what themes/features would you like to see ongoing in Blocked? Are you able to help us create it? Let us know. Future issues will include the following themes: ● Windmills of the mind (Oct/Nov) ● Under the Ivy (Nov/Dec) ● Murder Mystery (Dec/Jan) Themes can be interpreted as literally or figuratively as you like. Due to the impromptu break, the dates might vary. We’re including a new feature in this issue. Old newspaper articles related to knitting. The research for this has been fascinating. So much has changed, yet some things still remain the same. This issue focuses on a 1930s knitting grift. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? If you remember from issue one, I have been trying to find the copyright holders of a particular set of vintage patterns. There has been a development in regards to this and I will be revealing all in January. Let’s just say there may be some vintage patterns appearing in the near future. Anyway, you’ve waited long enough, please enjoy issue 10! Yours faithfully, Neil 3
