Laine: Nordic Knit Life 19

PRE-ORDER: your copy will be shipped on the release date (8 December 2023)

Laine 19, Kaolinite, celebrates the meditative nature of crafts. The beautiful, serene photos were taken in a ceramics studio, and the patterns offer a relaxing break from the everyday.

This issue’s knits feature intriguing techniques and stitch patterns. Fall in love with the simplicity of Linen Stitch, featured in the Crisp Morning vest, or relax with the engaging and easy-to-knit lace of the Plumette sweater.

In the articles of issue 19, we meet the Japanese embroidery artist Tomomi Mimura and the Mayan Kaqchikel fibre artist and writer Sari Monroy. We explore the work of an American sheep shearer and find out what kind of skills knitters should practise to increase their brain health.

Includes eleven knitting patterns: four sweaters, one cardigan, two vests, one skirt, one shawl, one hat and one pair of socks.

Designers featured in this issue: Alexandra Atepaeva, Jennifer Brou, Maxim Cyr, Ronja Hakalehto, Helga Isager, Pauliina Leisti, Agata Mackiewicz, Yukie Onodera, Marie Régnier, Jacqueline van Dillen and Veera Välimäki.
