Laine Magazine - Issue 19

Laine is a high-quality Nordic knit & lifestyle magazine for knit folks. Laine cherishes natural fibres, slow living, local craftsmanship and beautiful, simple things. They aim to inspire you to gather and share, to be part of a community of like-minded knitters, makers and thinkers from near and far. 

Get ready for Laine's lovely winter issue! Laine 19, Kaolinite, celebrates the meditative nature of crafts. The beautiful, serene photos were taken in a ceramics studio, and the patterns offer a relaxing break from the everyday.

Issue 19, Winter 2024, includes:

• 148 pages
• Eleven knitting patterns (charts and written instructions provided): four sweaters, one cardigan, two vests, one skirt, one shawl, one hat, and one pair of socks.
