Kate,
In the future will there be a way to subscribe to Textisles without purchasing the Warriston pattern?
Backing up what Susan says above and hoping we can subscribe to Textisles Kate (love the name). Your timing is as usual very great. Studying for my Fabrics exam on Monday and loving it… I may have found my thing…took ID courses after emergency back surgery to find something to get my mind and body working again and have found “fabrics” in all of this. I have knitted since a teenager but finding tweed ( Harris) in a new light, history of fibres etc., has given me great joy and renewed interest and now your on-line magazine. What can I say you truly are an inspiration to me. This seems like the obvious “next step” for you and I hope it brings you as much joy as it will us. Congratulations!! Now please can we subscribe?
I would love to read Textisles, but just can’t wear pullovers. It’s just that time of life when I have to wear sweaters that I can remove instantaneously. Congratulations! Great work!
I would like to subscribe to Textisles but at this moment in time do not want to buy the pattern – I love the design but have got too mnay things on the go. I look forward to find out how to do this.
Kate, Congrats on a terrific concept with the digital mag. I am not a knitter (okay well sort of…..Scandinavian so deep in the DNA, mildly ADD with difficulty following directions, anarchist, closet full of good intentions and yards of fabric….) but I follow your blog, love all things hand made and I have enjoyed the peek into your academic world and you beautiful writing. I am thrilled that a lay person can access your research and ideas. How may I subscribe to “Textisles”? Best, Siri
very confused about how to access Textiles without a knitting pattern? Love the idea of the magazine but how do I get it?
Maybe it’s more of a “download (and pay for!) this copy of Textiles as get the Warriston pattern free!”? That sounds reasonable to me.
*and (sigh)
Am wondering the same thing as the women above.. Am a crocheter but a very slow knitter so the pattern at this moment in time does not interest me even though it is super cute. I hope you will open it up to the rest of us. I love your writing and unique perspective
Ditto to the above comments. I am very interested in your magazine, but I don’t buy patterns (I am a knitting/crochet pattern designer here in the States). I have been following your blog and have passed it along to my spinning/knitting friends.
Sounds fascinating — and at the risk of more of the same, me too (I don’t think Warriston would suit me, but — hm – maybe I know a woman who, etc, etc…). Will think on’t.
I purchased Textisles, and found the content alone to be well worth the cost. I agree with Michelle above – if Warriston isn’t your cup of tea, then think of it as a bonus!
More of the same Kate, want the magazine, but not the Warriston pattern at this time.
Well i would love both the magazine AND the knitting pattern, but can’t figure out how or where to purchase it. Is the first edition available now?
I’m like the others. I am not a knitter, but am interested in textile and fabric and wool and would love to read the magazine. If a subscription without the pattern was available that would be great.
I can’t wait for the next issue!
By the way, I read your comment about yarrow. There is a lot of it in Colorado where I am headed in a few days, and I will take some photos and send you some. It should be quite golden by now. I am not up on how many species there are but will look it up if I have some time to go to the library. I am knitting away on the Warriston pattern for a friend using up some old (very old) Aran Wool I’ve had for at least 20 years in a dark read. I have just enough dark orange for the pockets.

I’d love to buy the magazine without the pattern, I’m not patient enough to knit my own jumpers, but would be interested in reading your thoughts on all things related to fabric.

How do I buy issue 1? I’m interested in both the articles and the pattern! Thanks.
Can some one please talk me through how I can access Textisles please?
Hi Mags, you can buy it over on my designs page, or through
this link:
Thanks Kate, finally done it in January. All the best for your future plans. I shall continue to follow your blog – it’s really inspiring in lots of ways. No comment on the inhuman resources, we have one of those too.
I think it is high quality work for a very reasonable price. I agree you should treat the pattern as a free extra and not try to separate the two. Thanks x
I found your magazine to be wonderful, and for the price you are asking, the pattern is just a bonus (but very nice, too.) Textisles is beautifully written and put together – thank you. i am looking forward to your next issue!
Just read your magazine and I really enjoyed the historical background and etymology and the interview. Looking forward to the next issue.
Read your first volume of Textisles over the weekend and really enjoyed it. My knitting skills aren’t quite up to Warriston yet, but I’m saving it for a future challenge. I just wanted to comment on those who want the Textisles but not the pattern. My guess is they want your research and articles for free (curse of this internet age that thinks everything should be free). Stick to your plan of combining both, especially when the patten complments the research so well. Writing is not only an art, it takes a bloody lot of time. it’s work and should be rewarded fairly. If people don’t want to knit the pattern, they don’t have to, but they can certainly pay you for your time, talent and passion for the subjects you research. My only comment would be to somehow indicate on the “my designs” page that Warriston and Textisles go together – I was initially wary of clicking just on Warriston as I wasn’t sure if I’d be buying just the pattern without Textisles and I certainly wanted both. Anyways, great job – I look forward to the next issue. And nice to see the write-up in the latest issue of Vogue Knitting.
Thank you for your wonderful blog and photos!
Dear Ms Davies, Thank you for this glorious publication! It’s fantastic. Is there a way to subscribe automatically? P.S. Can’t wait to start knitting my sheep hat; wish I’d found you sooner!
Unclear of the concept!! If I order Warriston do I get your Textisles Magazine also? Please advise, someone!!
Maybe I’m a total dork, but how to I purchase the magazine? I really want to read this!
I heartily agree with everyone who has said that the knitting pattern is an added bonus! Great little emag and I’m looking forward to the next issue!
