    Take a look inside Making Stories Magazine Issue 5:


    Yes, we do print sustainably.

    We print on 100% recycled paper – and we are super proud to have found one that lets our photos and patterns shine!

    They're crisp and true to their original colors. The secret? Our awesome printer, Königsdruck Berlin (local to us, yay!)

    They work with an LED-offset printing machine that dries the ink right after it's applied to the paper. That way, it can't sink in and the colors stay as glowy and beautiful as possible.

    The best part though? The machine is completely climate-neutral.

    We're the ones who care.

    We started Making Stories because we deeply believe in the power of two things: sustainability and knitting.

    Stitching sustainability into every aspect of life (and business) can not only help us save this beautiful planet, but also lead a more fulfilling life.

    That being said, we believe sustainability looks different for everyone. Finding what exactly it means for you and making decisions that reflect that in your daily life is incredibly empowering.

    We're here to help you with that in your favorite pastime, knitting.

    Great issue

    I really liked this issue, the patterns are amazing! I have several in my ravelry queue waited to be knitted. They're all different shapes, gauge and textures, but they're all interesting, refined and very wearable etc. I also really like to see so many patterns in one colour, because that's mostly what I wear 😊 I would love to see more issues like this one! No surprise the printed copy sold out.. but luckily it's also available in digital format!
