We are delighted to present the new summer issue of Laine Magazine @laine_magazine, entitled ‘Stillness’.
It will take you to an old summer cabin by the lakeside — nestled in the woods, surrounded by birch and pine trees, fresh waters and blue skies. The photos capture the quiet beauty and serenity of Finnish summer. This issue includes twelve light and relaxed summer garments and accessories, perfect for the warmer months. The knits are worked in a variety of yarns suited for summer, and they feature many interesting techniques and textures.
The designs in this edition are by Audrey Borrego, Antonio Jesús Castillo Urquízar, Lindsey Fowler, Sus Gepard, Maria Gomes, Kaori Katsurada, Linda Lencovic, Lotta H Löthgren, Marina Storm, Maaike van Geijn, Imke von Nathusius, and Marie-Ève Wedge.
To see all the patterns in this issue, visit the Ravelry page on the Laine Magazine 25.
