Laine Magazine, No. 20.

Posted by on

Let’s look inside the new issue of Laine!

Laine Magazine is a publication out of Finland, a knitting and lifestyle magazine with a love of natural fibers as its focus, and a reputation for beautiful designs and tantalizing photography.

The theme of this issue is Waterways, with patterns to keep you warm on the first days of spring, when you can’t get enough of the outdoors but still need that extra layer.

Beyond the patterns, there are seasonal recipes and plenty of good reading, including a profile of Finnish designer Jenny Ansah, and the results of Laine’s first ever Knitting Survey.

Laine No. 20 is $30 each – come by the shop or order online for local pickup or shipping!

Amirisu, Issue 26.

Posted by on

A new issue of Amirisu is here!

Amirisu is a knitting magazine based in Japan, each issue filled with articles, interviews, and patterns from designers all over the world.

 

This issue features designs by Veera Valimaki, Emily Greene, Fiona Alice, General Hogbuffer, Sari Nordlund, and more.

I spotted two designs in familiar yarns: a lace shawl in Brooklyn Tweed Dapple, a perfectly balanced merino/cotton blend, and a stunning dress in Isager Silk Mohair.

Amirisu is $24 – swing by to pick up a copy or order online for local pickup or shipping!

Pom Pom Quarterly: Spring 2023.

Posted by on

The latest issue of Pom Pom Quarterly is here!

This 44th issue of PPQ is all about layering, in terms of clothing and how we dress for the unpredictable weather of spring, and in terms of transparency and opacity. The patterns in this collection all play with these themes, sometimes expanding the layering metaphor in other ways, as well.

Pom Pom always has interesting non-knitting content, as well – a piece by artist Mei Stephens on screen printing, and a cultural history of the color yellow by Hannah McGregor.

Pom Pom Quarterly is $25.50 – come by to snag a copy between 11am – 5:30pm, Tuesdays – Saturdays. We’re also taking orders online for local pickup or shipping. Along with this issue, we have the Summer 2019, Autumn 2019, Summer 2020, Autumn 2020, Summer 2021, Winter 2021, Spring 2022, 10th Anniversary, Autumn 2022, and Winter 2022 issues in stock – preview them on our blog and get in touch if you’d like to add them to your Pom Pom collection!

Pom Pom Quarterly: Autumn 2022.

Posted by on

The latest issue of Pom Pom Quarterly is here!

Abundance is the theme of this Autumn 2022 issue, expressed in plentiful cables, colors, and textures, all of which are showcased beautifully in the magazine’s new large format.

I spotted a few familiar yarns in this issue – Olivia Szepanik’s “Winnow” cardigan makes good use of Kelbourne Woolens Scout, one of our go-to sweater yarns in the DK weight section, and Maria Walters’ “Polonyna” pullover shines in fingering weight Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift.

We may not have all the yarns shown in these patterns, but we love finding just the right substitute!
