Laine 17

Laine Issue 17 — aptly named Here Comes the Sun — feels like the first tender rays of sun after a long winter. The inspiring summer knits and fun, quirky photos create a happy, relaxed mix with a subtle vintage feel.

With a diverse list of talented designers, Laine 17 also features an interview with the French designer and debut author Cinthia Vallet, known for her charming knitted animals. Cinthia talks about her design process and the joy that toy-making can bring to adult knitters. 

They visit an Australian sheep farmer who shepherds a flock of Finnsheep 15,000 kilometres from their homeland.

As well as a host of articles from their regular writers, Laine 17 includes seasonal recipes to inspire your summer cooking and book reviews for summer reading.

Issue 17 contains 11 knitting patterns (both charts and written instructions provided) - 4 sweaters, 3 cardigans, 1 top, 2 shawls and 1 pair of socks.
