Making Stories Magazine - Issue 6

In Issue 6, we’re taking a look upward and beyond as a gentle reminder to not forget to look skyward, to see the beauty above, to take a breath of fresh air.

The 12 knitting patterns included are all inspired by everything we see when we take our eyes off the ground – the sky, the clouds, the buildings, the trees, the texture, the light. They’re complemented by the works of artists and writers who remind us to stay present and connected, no matter where we are and what we see.

Making Stories Magazine, strive to feature companies and makers who focus on sustainability, transparency, fairness and equity in their work. Love to tell their stories and hope to inspire and enable crafters to make conscious and informed decisions about the materials they use and companies they support.

Issue 6, includes designs, articles and artwork by Fiona Alice, Makenzie Alvarez, Elena Solier Jansà, Valentina Cosciani, Emily Joy Rickard, Susan Schädler, Ayano Tanaka, Kjerstin Rovetta, Elena Solier Jansà, Ksenia Naidyon, Julia Exner, Audrey Borrego, Deborah Stack, Luuanne Chau and Susan Chin.
