pompom quarterly 42 – autumn 2022

Message from the publisher.

“It’s no secret that when it comes to color, texture and pattern, we’re maximalists through and through! This fall, we decided to embrace this natural instinct of ours and create a knit and crochet collection inspired by abundance.”

The result is 11 glorious designs of stunning quality and tactile textured motifs that showcase the intricate aesthetics of the arts and crafts movement. The patterns are enchanting and romantic, somehow showing the wonderful lavishness that goes into making.

With designs by: EDDA LILJA // ELENA DIMCHEVSKA // EMMA DUCHER // EMMA JANET // ERICA SUFKA // FRAN LÓPEZ // LUCIA LUCIANO // MARIA WALTERS // OLIVIA SCZEPANIK // WEICHIEN CHAN (THEPETITEKNITTER)

What’s more, our autumn 2022 collection features an article by Aja Barber, an eminent figure in the pushback against fast fashion, who encourages us to think more about the clothes we pair with our handmade items. Spend a golden autumn afternoon reading our interview with embroidery extraordinaire, Tessa Perlow, and using Ella Hawkins’ biscuit decorating tutorial to make confectionery which looks like your knitting.

Issue 42 will officially go on sale August 31, but you can already preview all the patterns on Ravelry, so get ready for the sweater weather season.
