Description
Sunny days are typically associated with summer and we couldn’t wait to celebrate the brightest season for our newest issue. Aside from being an illuminating and energising guest, the stronger sun is also the reason that the warmer months are the time when so many fruits and berries come into season.
Pom Pom Quarterly 45 features all manner of warm-weather makes, both crochet and knit, each one a celebration of fruit, and of what is possible with yarn and a hook or some needles.
Along with the 10 vibrant knit and crochet additions to your wardrobe, we have a hand-sewn clutch tutorial by Carly Bauer Ambrocio, a sumptuous rhubarb recipe from Fi Churchman, and a beautiful article on grief and dyeing with pokeberries written by Jami Nakamura Lin.
Featuring designs by: Laura Zukaite // Audrey Borrego // Sandy Jones // Heidi Kästner // Ana D // Jennifer Kent // Madison Hughes // Madalena Bastakou // Marzena Kołaczek
