 In this issue you will find two interviews, articles about vintage knitwear and how it differs from today's designs.  
Included for those looking for a project are: 
three patterns - a cute pair ofknitted bobby sox
                          - a knitted turban using simple lace and
                          - a crocheted collar - the inexpensive way for women to reinvent an outfit when rationing was enforced.  Women are so resourceful! 

PLUS...there is a bonus magazine included free!! J

This supplement focuses specifically on the decades
1920 - 1960 and takes a look into what was the knitted fashion, how events of the world shaped the garments that were made, what colours were used and what styles were created! (Did you know that bobby pins stopped being manufactured so women needed a way to hold back their hair. Welcome TURBANS!!!! Apart from being a chic addition to a wardrobe, they were practical and appeared in all manner of designs!)

Wild About Yarn Magazine, Issue 2, Summer - The Mindful issue

 Wild about Yarn Magazine - The Mindful Issue

Issue 2, Summer, out now!

Click here to Order it on Etsy: Wild About Yarn Magazine Issue 2!!

 This the Mindful Issue, arriving just in time to whisper in our ears to slow down and take some time out. It's going to be a wonderful Christmas, don't you think?

(P.S. if you missed Issue 1, it's available at a discount  on Etsy here: Wild About Yarn Magazine 1 and 2)

The magazine is ready to ship and there are three interviews, patterns, a recipe of course, and free stuff too!  You'll receive a free PDF downloadable pattern for the handy Circles of Summer Pouch  (right)  that goes with the gorgeous bag in my favourite colours!

The amazing and generous Marianne Dekkers-Roos  from the Netherlands is our featured creator and the pages are just bursting with  the colour and of her designs!  Marianne comes from a long line or matriarchal creatives on both sides of the family and shares some poignant moments with us.

The magazine has a mandala to colour in, a delicious recipe for cute cupcakes and a link to a free crocheted mandala online!

The Tassel for the bag and pouch are both on the blog and free for everyone. I  love the embellished top using buttonhole stitch - it's so easy to do and finishes the tassel beautifully!

Did you miss the first issue?  Don't worry...it's discounted and available on Etsy with the current issue (go to the shop here  )

We love to see where you read your magazine so send us photos on Instagram with the hashtag #wildaboutyarnmag or #waymindfulness (wild about yarn mindfulness) and we'll feature some of these in the next magazine!

Have a happy start to December and take some time  for you.

Happy Yarning,

Lu x
