  • Introducing Issue 4 - Subverting The Norm

    September 04, 2020 1 min read

    Can you believe it, after months of work and planning, Issue 4 is here. Have you checked it out yet?! No! Let me tell you all about it.

    Issue 4 is an invitation to take a look at the craft we love and share as a way of challenging the status quochanging standards that no longer serve us, and, yes, subverting the norm

    In its pages, you'll find accessory and garment patterns that do just that by introducing us to a new technique, a unique construction method, a brave design inspiration. Stories about body image, size inclusivity, and queer identity, shared by a handful of wonderful authors and illustrators, invite you to sit down, read, and question.

    Do you want to see more? Check out the look-book we put together below!


    Subverting The Norm

    To celebrate the launch, I asked out lovely community; What does subverting the norm mean to you? As always, I got some fantastic responses, and here are just a few!

    What does subverting the norm mean to you? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

    Issue 4 is available now in print and digital. It can be purchased in our webshop as a single issue or as part of a subscription or from one of our wonderful stockists!

    New Look, Same Heart: The Story Behind Our Delightful Rebrand
    New Look, Same Heart: The Story Behind Our Delightful Rebrand

    January 16, 2025 4 min read 1 Comment

    Hi lovelies! I am back today with a wonderful behind-the-scenes interview with Caroline Frett, a super talented illustrator from Berlin, who is the heart and and hands behind the new look we've been sporting for a little while.

    Caro also has a shop for her delightfully cheeky and (sometimes brutally) honest T-Shirts, postcards, and mugs. (I am particularly fond of this T-Shirt and this postcard!)

    I am so excited Caro agreed to an interview to share her thoughts and work process, and what she especially loves about our rebrand!

    Thoughts on closing down a knitting magazine
    Thoughts on closing down a knitting magazine

    November 19, 2024 12 min read 1 Comment

    As a lot of you might have suspected I have, at last, made the decision to definitely close down Making Stories Magazine after Issue 14, our 2025 Fall & Winter issue. This means we still have two issues to go - Issue 13, coming out in March (Confetti & Rainbows!!), and Issue 14, coming out in September. I wanted to share this decision with you bright and early as I don’t feel like holding this in when we publish our last Spring and then our very last Fall & Winter issue. I want to celebrate those issues, and the work that we have done over the last eight years, and I want to be able to share the bittersweet feelings that will inevitably come up when the list of “lasts” still do be done gets shorter and shorter.

    All the knits I finished while recovering from surgery
    All the knits I finished while recovering from surgery

    October 28, 2024 8 min read

    About three weeks ago, I had surgery. Nothing major, and it was planned - but it was my first time undergoing general anaesthesia and facing an uncertain recovery period, both of which made me quite nervous. I knew that I was going to be in the hospital for two days, if everything went well, but then it was between one and three weeks of recovering at home, depending on how fast my body was going to heal.

    Needless to say, I packed knitting for the hospital, but I didn’t feel like picking up my needles until my second day in the hospital. And then I knit. I knit, and knit, and knit. Curiously enough, I always get the urge to clear off my needles this time of the year - something about the weather changing, sweater season approaching, maybe? And this year, this urge coincided with me wanting to do something while watching copious amounts of Netflix without having to think very hard about what I was going to knit. Win win!
