    Hi lovelies!

    I hope you are well, and making a dent in your gift knitting (if you are gift knitting this year, that is!)

    I am back here today with something a little different: A question for you.

    Over the course of the last year, I took over writing most of our blog posts again, and while I love it very much, I also noticed that I tend to gravitate towards posts that I like to read – pattern inspiration posts, FO roundups, that sort of thing. Which is very much a deviation from where we originally started which was with lots of in-depth advice on knitting ("How to get gauge" is still an all-time favorite post!) and insights into how sustainable yarns are made.

    I would love to get back to those topics in the next year, but as those posts require more time to research and write, I want to make sure that that is also what you want to read.

    So, today, I'd love to know: What do you want to read on the blog? Comment down below with one topic or knitting-related question that you have on your mind right now – I want to hear all of them!

    Posts about specific sheep breeds would be interesting, and other animal fibers💕

    I like a mix but as someone posted earlier also things like a yarn review with pattern links plus it’s pros and cons. Articles such as tips and tricks for knitting socks with no nylon yarn but also wips and FO’s are nice to see too.

    I always love reading about new patterns and the yarns you carry, but what drew me to you initially was your very useful information on sustainability and what that means in terms of yarns. So anything you can share with us on the issue of sustainability would be very much appreciated because you do it so well.

    I like posts where you highlight a yarn and give links to patterns where it has been used.

    Was ich gerne in Blogs lese:
    - Portraits von neuen oder besonderen Garnen (mit mehr Hintergrund zu Zusammensetzung, besonders geeignet für…)
    - neue Strickanleitungen, die ich sonst vielleicht übersehe…
    - Tipps und Tricks zu verschiedenen Stricktechniken aller Art, von “how to get gauge” über “welcher Bind off ist für was geeignet” bis zu “welche Zunahmen sind für was geeignet”

    Art Nouveau Sample Preview Video - Issue 12, Fall & Winter 2024

    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
    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.
