Issue 20, Spring 2024 – Waterways (pre-order, will ship late February)

This delightful spring issue, Waterways, is inspired by changing seasons – when you want to explore the outdoors but still need that extra layer to keep you warm. The photos were taken in Suomenlinna: an inhabited sea fortress in the Baltic Sea, just in front of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. They depict a lazy day spent by the sea — you can almost smell the salty air and feel the soft breeze in your hair!

Issue 20 includes:

  • 10 knitting patterns perfect for spring: five sweaters, one cardigan, one tee, two shawls and one pair of socks.
  • An interview with Afro-Finnish knitwear designer Jenny Ansah who wants to bring a stronger sense of community to the world of handicrafts. “Knitting belongs to everybody,” Jenny says.
  • A discussion with experts about how artificial intelligence might change the world of knitting
  • A conversation between Jeanette Sloan and Maria Zeb Benjamin, the co-founder of The Wool Library: a grassroots organisation that celebrates and promotes British wool.
  • Slow Sunday brunch recipes, including scrumptious buttermilk scones, rhubarb strawberry compote and grapefruit brûlée.

The designers featured in this issue are Rebecca Clow, Lily Kate France, Eliza Hinkes, Susanna Kaartinen, Marzena Kołaczek, Marion Mursic, Joey Poh, Olga Putano, Qing Studio and Thea Vesterby.

This issue also reveals the results of our first-ever Laine Knitting Survey, with 4,433 responses from knitters from all over the world. Read what knitting looks like in the 2020s and how knitters hope to see it evolve! We found out, for example, that 62% of you are process knitters, that 38% use knitting apps and that the majority prefer long circulars over DPNs!
