Welcome, to another edition of 'Where In The World Is Making Stories?' - our regular segment where we visit one of incredible stockist and explore their corner of the world! Today, we are dropping in on Judith from Fine Fettle Fibres who lives and works in the UK.

Hello folks! Today I want to share a post with you that we have wanted to write for a while - Our CFS's ('Call for Submissions') and what we look for from a submission. If you are on our call for submission email list (and if you are not and want to be head here!), you will probably remember that we sent out several CFS's last summer. This was because Hanna Lisa was going on maternity leave, and we needed to do a lot of the work for Issues 2-4 ahead of time.

Can you believe it's been two whole years since we launched WOODS, our very first book? Neither can we! It will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and it's so lovely to see that it's still a firm favourite with you too. I was recently having a look at the new projects that were popping up on Ravelry, and it made me so happy to see so many designs from WOODS in there. I decided to round up some of the projects you wonderful folks were working on and show them off for everyone to see!

Nestled on the cobbled streets of Edinburgh, there's a very special yarn shop that we are proud to count as one of our stockists. Run by Jessica James-Thomson, Ginger Twist Studio is a cavern of pure woolly joy, bursting at the seams with squishy wool, fibre and patterns.

Dear maker friends! We are so excited to announce that Issue 2 of our Making Stories Magazine is now available from our webshop! With Making Stories Magazine, we strive to feature companies and makers who focus on sustainability, transparency, fairness and equity in their work. We love telling their stories and hope to inspire and enable crafters to make conscious and informed decisions about the materials they use and the companies they support.

Let me introduce Leeni Hoimela, the designer behind the gorgeous Hali Sweater from Issue 2! We thought it would be fun to get to know a little more about Leeni and her knitting community in Helsinki.
