THE DREAMSCAPE ISSUE | Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 40
The Dreamscape Issue | Pom Pom Quarterly Spring 2022
Pom Pom’s 40th issue conjures up a knitted dreamworld! Get transported to your yarn-filled happy place with joy-bringing patterns that are whimsical without compromising elegance or wearability.
The designs reference the seemingly unstructured nature of dreams through floaty fabrics and ethereal embellishments, loose gauge, and by gently emboldening the maker to use their intuition when it comes to playing with colour.
As with anything that appears effortless, copious amounts of imagination and clever thinking form the foundation of these designs encouraging the kind of creative escapism we cherish in crafting.
The patterns in this collection vary in intensity; from ones which will allow you to realise your knitting fantasies to others you could finish with your eyes closed. But rest assured, each one will grant you gratification in a different way.
Rhythm features designs by Aimee Sher, Allison Lutes, Edda Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Hanna Lübben, Julie Dubreux, Marie Régnier, Marzena Kołaczek, Pope Vergara and Reed Keyes.
In addition to 10 knitting patterns, the spring 2022 issue contains an article, ‘Making a World’ by lilith green, in which lilith talks about her experience of autism and how the act of making provides a haven from a world which prioritises neurotypical people. And, if your goal is to try your hand at a craft other than knitting, learn how to make decorative Polish pająki with Karolina Merska, or use Stephanie Ganz’ recipe to bake Honeysuckle Cream Puffs – divine!
We have now sold out of Issue 40.
