Fifteen bold and beautiful hand knit designs using Zandra Rhodes' ColourLab DK and Signature 4ply yarns. In approaching this collection, Zandra wanted every piece to make a statement. Inspired by her classic knitwear designs from the 1980s, she reimagined them for us with new twists and fresh looks, as well as creating some striking accessories and fabulous socks. The designs use Zandra's ColourLab DK and Signature 4ply prints, accented with some of our vibrant, classic solid shades. She encourages you to experiment with different colour combinations to create your own unique designer knitwear. From Dame Zandra Rhodes There really is something for everyone in this collection. I want those who knit my garments to feel happy and excited. I'm hoping knitters who might not have worn Zandra Rhodes before will now create and wear my magical prints. Featured yarns - ColourLab DK, Signature 4ply

Take Heart: A Transatlantic Knitting Journey by Fiona Alice Here at Pom Pom we are beyond excited to reveal our newest incarnation - the Pom Pom Press! Our love of print now extends beyond the realm of magazines and our very first book is Take Heart: A Transatlantic Knitting Journey by Fiona Alice. You may recognise Fiona’s name from the gorgeous patterns she has designed for Pom Pom Quarterly in the past, and we are thrilled to be able to expand upon her distinctive design aesthetic, beautiful illustration style, and thoughtful writing. Take Heart traces a path across the Atlantic from Fiona’s hometown in Nova Scotia, to where she now resides in London. The book was photographed by longtime Pom Pom collaborator Juju Vail, with the stunning Welsh seaside as the backdrop. Each pattern is lovingly illustrated by Fiona, along with heartfelt writing detailing her inspiration behind each one. We believe that handmade objects are imbued with the stories of those who make them, and nowhere is that more evident than here. Featuring 11 accessory patterns using yarns from locally owned British & Canadian companies including SweetGeorgia, Handmaiden Fine Yarn, John Arbon Textiles, Illimani, The Uncommon Thread, Kettle Yarn Co, Toft Alpaca, The Border Mill.

Issue 39: Winter 2021 The knit and crochet designs in Issue 39 are inspired by rhythm! Our Winter 2021 collection is packed with patterns which honour echoes, explore semitonal shifts in colour, and include repeating motifs to allow you to get into a stitching groove. We love how the designers have taken our auditory theme and created patterns which highlight the aspects of rhythm we see, such as written musical scores and the visual representation of soundwaves. No matter at what tempo you craft, there's a winter project for you here! Featuring designs by: Judith Brand, Astrid Colding Sivertsen, Adella Dutra, Ana D, Tetyana Vyazovska, Johanna Kunin, Nidhi Kansal, Keiko Kikuno, Cleo Malone, Valerie Ng. Artist, maker, and stylist Lydia Morrow was the creative director for this issue's photoshoot! We've long admired Lydia's jazzy sense of style, so we're honoured to publish her vision in our pages. After you’ve found your crafting cadence, enjoy the two articles in Issue 39. In 'Rhythms of Handiwork', Felicity (Felix) Ford explores the communal and historical relationship between craft and rhythm, while Claudia Khan writes touchingly about the delicate melody of parenthood, partnership, and time in her article, 'A Family Song'. Kiyomi and Sachiko Burgin are the authors of this issue's handmade lip balm tutorial, so you can combat chapped lips brought on by cold weather and even have some non-knitted handmade gifts ready for the festive season.
