I was going back through posts and realized that I totally forgot to post about Laine Magazine 21.
Laine 21, Harvest Sun, is filled with beautiful and practical summer knits featuring interesting stitch patterns, engaging techniques and lovely details. The serene photos depict a balmy summer day in the countryside, amidst blooming gardens and golden, sun-drenched fields.
Designers featured in this issue: Fiona Alice, Jenny Ansah, Audrey Borrego, Soraya García, Kaori Katsurada, Irene Lin, Faïza Mebazaa, Paula Pereira, Julia Wilkens and Griselda Zárate.
Issue 21, Summer 2024, includes:
- 148 pages
- 11 knitting patterns (both charts and written instructions provided): 4 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 2 tops, 2 shawls and 1 pair of socks
- an interview with Kendall Ross (@id.knit.that), who has turned her knitting into a unique art form. Kendall’s wearable art pieces draw inspiration from her experiences as a young American woman.
- an article about the Irish knitting education initiative Wool in School, which is committed to increasing awareness of wool and teaching children to fall in love with knitting
- Jeanette Sloan’s column Fibre Talk, where she chats with April Tang, the co-founder of Shangdrok, a Taiwanese/Tibetan company specialising in traditional hand-spun yarn and handmade felt
- Five Ways by our regular writer Päivi Kankaro, where we learn about the not-so-hidden power of colours and how to use them in our knitting projects
- Where I Knit: A regular piece that pictures people knitting in their favourite spot. In this issue, we meet Emilia Bergoglio, who knits in the park of a shrine near their home in Tokyo, Japan
- seasonal recipes to inspire your summer cooking
- book reviews.
Last week I mentioned that we put an offer on a house that was accepted. There were some conditions and the home owners received another offer with no conditions a few days later. We couldn’t take our conditions off so we lost out on the house. This all happened at 9pm on Friday evening. I was upset/mad/frustrated but I’m over it now. It wasn’t meant to be so now we are looking again.

Take heart Julie. My parents dickered over a house for an entire summer only to be stunned when their dream home suddenly came on the market. They acted quickly and my dad enjoyed that home (dead end of Robina, golf course side) until his dying day. Your perfect home is still waiting for you.
