  • Coming Aug 31: Your early access to Issue 8 & our brand-new yarns! [Full Skein & Sweater Quantity]

    August 30, 2022 2 min read

    Dear lovely Collective members,

    First of all another big THANK YOU for joining the Making Stories Collective! I'm so, so glad you're here.

    And I'm incredibly excited to launch the first early access products for you, our Full Skein & Sweater Quantity levels - Wednesday, August 31, at 9am CEST!

    Here's how it works:

    On Aug 31 at 9am I'll send you an email with a secret link. With that link, you can access the four brand-new yarns and corresponding kits we're launching for Issue 8, together with Issue 8 itself!

    You'll have a full day to browse them and place your order before they go live for everyone else. All of them are available in (sometimes quite) limited quantities, and they won't be coming back into the shop when they're gone.

    Here's what we'll have:

    Ginger Twist Studio's Masham Mayhem DK | Orlina Sweater

    Mominoki Yarn Finnwool | Walden Socks

    Life in the Long Grass Highland DK | Pyrite Sweater

    Lanivendole A Chic Blend | Acorn Mittens

    I hope you enjoy browsing the selection! Oh, and: Two tips if you're asking yourself how to decide what to knit:

    1. Our pattern preview pages are up! You can see them all here - they're a great way to dive deeper into the patterns and see more photos (and a little video of each sample).
    2. If you're a magazine subscriber as well, check the library in your customer account for your digital copy of Issue 8. It should be sitting in there, waiting for you! And if you're not yet a subscriber, quick tip: Place an order for Issue 8 (or a subscription) first tomorrow - you'll get the digital version immediately. Then, peruse the (digital) pages at your leisure before ordering the yarn - you have a full day early access!

    If you have any questions around this, do let me know - always here and happy to help!

    Hello my dear Collective members, how have you been? I hope spring has gently arrived, wherever you are, and that you enjoy the first warm sunrays as much as I am, here in Berlin.

    For today's Collective-exclusive blog post, I want to take a look back at 2024 so far – it's been almost three months, and quite a few things have happened. Some of them very much behind the scenes, so I hope you'll enjoy this!

    2024 started with a very unpleasant surprise.

    I remember this so clearly: I was sitting in my office, the second week of January, staring at our printer's invoice for Issue 11 and our bank account – and realizing that we just didn't have enough money in the bank to pay them.

    Dear lovely Collective member,

    it's almost time to wrap up the year! In just a few short weeks, I'll be taking a few days off to recharge, and I hope you do the same.

    I want to say a very, very heartfelt thank you for supporting us in 2023. Every single contribution to the Collective helps keep the lights on here at Making Stories, and I deeply appreciate every single one of you. You make this work possible!

    Hi lovely Collective members,

    I hope you had a wonderful November so far! I've been leaning heavily into the coziness this fall – lots of evenings snuggled up under my favorite wool blanket on our couch with a candle lit, a soft WIP on my lap, finishing up final seasons of some of our favorite TV shows. (Which, for the most part were disappointing, sigh!)

    As busy as this time of the year is, it also feels a little gentler this year than last. I'm not sure what it is - am I better prepared? (Now I probably jinxed it...) Is life with a four year old easier than with a three year old? (Yes, definitely, if you ask me.) Is it just luck? (I'll take it!)
