Nordic Summer Nights

Laine Summer 2022 will be launching on May 6th. The book has been added to the website for preorder.

“Walking barefooted on a meadow wet with morning dew.
A call of a bird echoing over a silent lake.
Wandering home through the sleeping city at sunrise.”
 

Issue 14, summer 2022, is inspired by the light Nordic summer nights – gentle, delicate and carefree. Our beloved summers are so short and sweet, that even the wee small hours feel too precious to spend asleep. The 10 designs featured in our summer collection embody that summer night’s magic and explore colourwork, texture and delicate details.

  • 148 pages
  • 10 knitting patterns, beautifully photographed and illustrated (both charts and written instructions provided)
  • an interview with knitwear designer Aleks Byrd whose debut book is published in May 2022 by Laine Publishing
  • an article about Sisters United
  • an article about vegan knitting
  • a column about the challenge of running into a creative rut by our regular columnist Päivi Kankaro
  • a column about how to find comfort in learning a new craft by our regular columnist Jeanette Sloan
  • seasonal recipes
  • book reviews
  • Laine Favourites section.

Designers featured in this issue: Pablo Aneiros, Isabella Clark, Evgeniya Dupliy, Lindsey Fowler, Katrine Hannibal, Anna Husemann, Ema Marinescu, Claudia Quintanilla, Maria Walters and Sylvia Watts-Cherry.





After I packed my boxes this morning I did a bit of shopping. 
The new colours of Le Petit Lambswool have arrived at Biches & Buches and our order has been placed. Biches is usually quick to ship so we should have these next week. 

Meet Hidden Place - the newest colour of Dream State from Spincycle.

There was a restock on Dyed in the Wool as well. Above is Wololo and below is Bruised Ego. This Bruised Ego is amazing!!!

Wallflower.
I put together a few more kits for The Shift.

There wasn’t much knitting over the weekend. I sort of tidied my knitting area yesterday. That meant taking storage bins and filling them with yarn that was in knitting bags, or plastic bags or in baskets. One bin is full of needles. That is another days problem - they need to be organized properly. 

The bins came from a late night shopping spree on The Shopping Channel. I should learn to stay away - Curtis Stone cookware and OrganizeMe storage always gets me.

I’m going to try and get a few rows knit tonight while watching the Jays.
