Laine 18

Our beautiful autumn issue is here! In Laine 18 — called Weekend Getaway — we take time to relax in a little cottage by the forest. The versatile and comfortable knits are suited for both indoors and outdoors, and they are the perfect addition to your wardrobe as the days get colder.

Designers featured in this issue: Jenny Ansah, Marcela Chang, Melissa Clulow, Emma Ducher, Jenna Kostet, Ksenia Naidyon, Olga Putano, Tiia Reho, Anna Sjösvärd and Julia Wilkens.

Laine 18 includes eleven knitting patterns: five sweaters, two cardigans, one slipover, one shawl, one hat and one pair of mittens. This issue is filled with inspiring knitwear and interesting stories, but what struck me the most was the Five Ways article about mending. Fixing your garments is important both for environmental reasons and for saving money. The knits we make with care deserve to be treated well throughout their lifespan
