Jane Crowfoot Mystical Lanterns Shawl
£6.95
The name of a repeated tessellating design, like the one I have used in this design, is called an 'Ogee' pattern in Arabesque design. It took me a few weeks to get the design of these blocks right; initially I came up with lots of really complicated ways to create this motif, but in the end it was so simple - funny how sometimes a design process can take so long and then the outcome can be so easy to make!
The pattern for the lantern shape motif is based on a granny hexagon pattern, but I have made a few changes to come up with the curved design the tessellates.
Finished measurements:
Pre-blocked measurement - 146cm (57 1/2in) at widest point (along top edge of shawl) 78cm (31in) deep from central point to bottom edge.
Blocked measurement - 158 (62in) at widest point (along top edge of shawl) 84cm (33in) deep from central point to bottom edge.

Hunter Hammersen Curls: Versatile, Wearable Wraps to Knit at Any Gauge
£17.99
Curls: Versatile, Wearable Wraps to Knit at Any Gauge - Hunter Hammersen
Curls are marvelously flexible, wearable wraps that work with any weight of yarn, can be knit at any gauge, and look beautiful at any size.
Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you've got a shawl. They form a wonderfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders and can be worn in lots of different ways.
Use your favourite yarn, and knit at whatever gauge gives you the fabric you like best. You're in charge, you can't mess it up, and you're going to love the result!
One small note, the structure of these pieces lends itself much better to charted instructions than to written out instructions. So please be aware that all the patterns use charts. If you're new to charts, never fear. There is a lovely introduction to using charts at the front of the book. Read through it, and you'll be ready to go in no time!

Pompom Quarterly Issue 46
£17.50
Issue 46: Autumn 2023
Collaborating with creatives we admire is one of the great joys of making Pom Pom. Candice English of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers has been an inspiration to us for a long time, both as a dyer and as an advocate for Indigenous women. We are thrilled to welcome Candice as Guest Editor for this issue.
Candice has brought a fresh perspective to these pages, along with her distinctive aesthetic, drawing from both her Indigenous roots and life in the American West. We are so grateful to her for sharing herself, her work, and her family with us. It’s an honour to be trusted with the stories and creativity of each contributor to this autumn issue.
The patterns in this issue are a representation of hard and soft duality in the American West. The hard work embedded in the people of Montana is a result of the softness you find in the spirit of Indigenous homelands. You will find classic designs that can be worn in utilitarian ways but also jazzed up a bit for social outings.
Featuring designs by: Allison Lutes, Esti Juango, Elena Solier Jansà, Natalie Bullock, Sandy Jones, Lindsey Fowler, Lena Zharichenko, Lee Ann Yazzie, Imke von Nathusius, Tin Can Knits
