  • Issue 11 - in and out by Liza Laird

    March 11, 2024 1 min read 2 Comments

    Hello lovelies!

    I am back today with a slightly unusual post that starts with a big, big apology to Liza Laird. Liza is a wonderful author (you might know her book Yoga of Yarn), knitter, teacher and yogi, and we were supposed to publish her beautiful poem "in and out", inspired by the ocean, in our Issue 11, "Seashore".

    While I was putting the final touches on our layout, I realized that we had a spread too many (we always print in increments of 4 pages, or 2 spreads) and inadvertently cut the spread with Liza's poem instead of the photo spread I meant to delete.

    We realized it when Isabell first held their copy in their hands, and was looking for the poem – and by that time, the entire print edition had already been printed and delivered to us.

    I am so, so terribly sorry about this. My deepest apologies to Liza – this should absolutely not have happened!

    I emailed with Liza to find a solution that would honor her work for Issue 11 and also get her published in a magazine issue. We agreed upon sharing her beautiful poem for Issue 11 here on the blog, and having more of her poetry in Issue 12. "in and out", the poem for Issue 11, has also been added to the digital version of this magazine issue.

    Thank you so much, Liza, for being so understanding – I am so thankful we still get to share your words with everyone!

    Let’s wander the streets of Brussels and Paris, searching for the hidden architectural Art Nouveau gems – houses, doors, windows, street lamps. Let’s explore Berlin’s Jugendstil tile art, marvelling at the colors and shapes taking form. Let’s get lost in the work of water color artists, glass blowers, jewellers, embroidery artists, and myriads more, who dive into the shapes and curves of plants and flowers, moving, flowing, mirroring.

    What it means to be an indie knitting magazine

    We've seen dramatic changes in the knitting magazine landscape over the past 12 months: Pom Pom Quarterly ceased publication at the end of 2023, Laine sold the majority of their company to one of the biggest Finnish publishers, and Amirisu first pivoted to books, and now to an online-only media outlet. Multicraftual magazines that often included knitting patterns were equally as affected: Making pivoted to a combined app and monthly membership business model, and Taproot first changed to a preorder model, and then very abruptly closed their business (the website is offline, hence no link).

    This has left us standing as one of the very, very few indie knitting magazines in the market.
