Dreamlands
Issue 40: Spring 2022
Who else has imagined themselves away from their current surroundings over the last year? In spring 2022, we’re hoping to create a dreamland of neon pastels, dramatic shapes, and flowy fabrics. Basically, if it’s fluffy, puffy, frilly, or fringed, we are here for it! We would love to see over-the-top texture, big stripes, and unusual stitch techniques and embellishments. We’re looking for knit and crochetwear that makes you smile when both making and wearing!
We are also interested in feature story ideas, tutorials, and recipes, as well as illustrations that work with this concept, so make sure to pass this call along to anyone you know who might be interested in developing a dreamy story with us!
