Can you believe it, Issue 7 has been out in the world for three whole weeks! Since our Joy KAL kicked off on April 1, we've seen so many beautiful projects emerging on Instagram, and with new cast-on's happening all the time, we're so excited to see all the joyful FO's emerge over the coming months.
If you haven't joined in on the KAL get, don't worry, there is still plenty of time! It's going to be running until May 30, and all you need is to tag a photo of your progress with #MakingStoriesJoyKAL on Instagram. Before you can do that though, you're going to need to decide what to cast on. It's a tough one, with twelve beautiful patterns with Joy at their core, deciding which to knit first is difficult. That's why we thought we'd bring you a little Issue 7 project inspiration with today's post!
I don't know about you, but I always find it super helpful to check out other makers' projects when I'm planning my own, so today, I want to share some of the stunning projects that were created by our wonderful test knitters.
It's a simple fact that we wouldn't be here without our test knitters. They share their expertise and time to help us to get our patterns ready for publication, and are a seriously talented group of knitters. I've shared a few projects below to get the inspiration flowing!

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.
We're a delightfully tiny team dedicated to all things sustainability in knitting. With our online shop filled with responsibly produced yarns, notions and patterns we're here to help you create a wardrobe filled with knits you'll love and wear for years to come.
