Issue 48 - Official Preview
Issue 48, Check Mate has many meanings to us at this time but most importantly, as the last ever edition of Pom Pom Quarterly, it marks the end of a wonderful journey. This knitted and crocheted ode to wovens includes patterns we believe any maker will be proud to create. With two needles or a hook, these designs were inspired by the beauty of weaving and pay a special tribute to this ancient sister craft.

I purchased the last issue of pompom No. 48 and was ready to knit Fortuna’s Wheel Pullover. However, there are only charts for size 2 in the book. I need charts for the other sizes and have not been able to find them anywhere. Can you please tell me where I can find charts for the other sizes. Thank you very much.
I just found you! I wish you all the best in your new adventures. And if you are ever in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, let’s go for tea
How can I get the charts for the Fortuna’s Wheel trousers pattern in Issue #48?
Thank,\s,
Virginia Winn
