you do subscribe to making zine, don’t you? i am just so in love with it. i’ve never seen a publication that so beautifully combines knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery and virtually all the fiber arts. the photos (by carrie hoge, who created the magazine) are just gorgeous, and the projects are so modern and covetable. i find myself wanting to make everything! in this issue, i can’t stop thinking about that yellow backpack by Anna Graham of Noodlehead… i think it needs to be added to my Make Nine!
i’m honored to be interviewed on the newest episode of the making podcast also! listening to makers’ stories is my favorite thing for my ears to do while my hands are busy, and i was thrilled to bits when one of my favorite fiber-y podcasts, woolful, joined forces with my favorite zine. if you were already subscribed to woolful in your podcast catcher, you’re already tuned in to making too.
i am over the moon that i’ve had a design in every issue so far (that’d be 5) and i have one in the next upcoming one too. for the brand new issue, just out this week, COLOR, i designed a boxy, fulled crochet project bag that doubles as a basket — the BOXET bag — because it stands upright and looks as good sitting in your living room as it does on the go. i can’t wait to see what you all will use them for, because i can imagine a whole range of sizes for everything from your lunch to every WIP in your house!
the BOXET bag is designed in dreamy Quince & Co Lark yarn, and if you act quick you can enter to win yarn to make your own by leaving a comment over on the making blog post.
i must also add that this is a great project for stash-busting any skeins or leftovers of worsted-weight wool yarns you already have. they do need to be wool, because the bag is fulled (slightly felted in the washing machine) after crocheting.
