The wait is nearly over for our long-anticipated weekend with Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée and Sini Kramer of Laine Publishing, taking place next weekend on Saturday 30 April and Sunday 1 May. There is so much to celebrate — new books, great yarns, beautiful patterns, distinguished designers — and we are getting more excited every day!

One of our very favourite things to make by hand are Toys. There is something so special about crafting a sweet little critter for a beloved child⁠—or a beloved grown-up! Each stitch has so much love in it the end result is sure to be treasured.

Let’s get right down to it: is there a craftier holiday than Easter? Between embellishing Easter bonnets, dyeing eggs, and adorning beautiful baskets with darling ribbons, it seems like everyone has their hands busy with something this time of year. Here’s what we’re hoping the Easter Bunny will drop in our baskets next weekend!

When Midori Hirose’s Snowy Forest sweater came out in Laine issue 10 we were instantly smitten with its gorgeous cables and cosiness, and we are so happy to now be able to bring you this lovely sweater as a kit!

If you’re anything like us, you’ve grown to love the sumptuous yarns from Danish yarn producer CaMaRose. The beautiful products from this one-woman show never fail to amaze, and her new line using organic, natural, un-dyed fibres is no different.
