Time to get a spring in your step! After the winter hibernation it’s always uplifting to see signs that the next season is on its way. So for this issue we’ve looked to those little things that signal the arrival of spring: longer days, buzzing insects with their delicate wings, and our favourite blooms that will soon start bursting through.
Embrace the return of the sunshine with this issue’s collection of nine patterns. We have an abundance of cardigans and sweaters, as well as a shawl and tote bag. Spring 2017 also includes a colourful sashiko quilt tutorial from Gina Röckenwager, writing from Anna Maltz, and a suitably springy sweet recipe from Rebecca Lawrence.
Featuring designs by: Anna Maltz, Jennifer Weissman, Courtney Cedarholm, Grace Gouin, Miriam Jarrs, Eline Alcocer, Natalie Selles, Rachel Brockman, and Camille Rosselle.
