For this new spring issue, all the patterns in this issue play with opacity, texture and color, layering techniques, tones and transparency – sometimes all at once!
PomPom’s team has also invited two equally awe-inspiring people to model their knits for you this season. Angel Joy Flores and Alicia Roth Weigel are both activists who work towards a more equitable world for the LGBTQIA+ community in Texas and beyond.
Featuring designs by: KLARA NILSSON – KLARYBERRY // MAREN ODENTHAL – KNITTERISTA // JESS KAVANAGH // JULIA MADILL // ARA STELLA // SUSANNA KAARTINEN – SANNA AND CO // JOANNE FOWLER // AMALIA SIEBER – KINDRED RED // SORAYA GARCÍA
Issue 44 also includes a celebration of the art of screen printing by Mei Stephens, who muses on the parallels between printing and knitting, and Hannah McGregor’s second contribution to Pom Pom, this time taking on the colour yellow and its cultural history. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, our recipe for bebinca, a layered Goan dessert, will have your mouth watering!
