POM POM 42 | The Art of Abundance

POM POM 42 | The Art of Abundance

It’s no secret that, when it comes to colour, texture, and pattern, Pom Pom are maximalists through and through! This season, they have embraced their natural instincts and curated a knit and crochet collection inspired by abundance.

The result is 11 glorious designs with immense visual impact, highly satisfying and tactile motifs, which echo the intricate aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement. The patterns are mesmerising, romantic, and somehow embody the wondrous generosity imbued in the act of making.

The issue features an article by Aja Barber, an eminent figure in the pushback against fast fashion, who encourages us to think more about the clothes we pair with our handmade items. Spend a golden afternoon reading an interview with embroidery extraordinaire, Tessa Perlow, and using Ella Hawkins’ biscuit decorating tutorial to make confectionery which looks like your knitting.

*Issue 42 has now sold out.

THE DREAMSCAPE ISSUE | Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 40
THE DREAMSCAPE ISSUE | Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 40

The Dreamscape Issue | Pom Pom Quarterly Spring 2022

Pom Pom’s 40th issue conjures up a knitted dreamworld! Get transported to your yarn-filled happy place with joy-bringing patterns that are whimsical without compromising elegance or wearability.

The designs reference the seemingly unstructured nature of dreams through floaty fabrics and ethereal embellishments, loose gauge, and by gently emboldening the maker to use their intuition when it comes to playing with colour.

As with anything that appears effortless, copious amounts of imagination and clever thinking form the foundation of these designs encouraging the kind of creative escapism we cherish in crafting.

The patterns in this collection vary in intensity; from ones which will allow you to realise your knitting fantasies to others you could finish with your eyes closed. But rest assured, each one will grant you gratification in a different way.

Rhythm features designs by Aimee Sher, Allison Lutes, Edda Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Hanna Lübben, Julie Dubreux, Marie Régnier, Marzena Kołaczek, Pope Vergara and Reed Keyes.

In addition to 10 knitting patterns, the spring 2022 issue contains an article, ‘Making a World’ by lilith green, in which lilith talks about her experience of autism and how the act of making provides a haven from a world which prioritises neurotypical people. And, if your goal is to try your hand at a craft other than knitting, learn how to make decorative Polish pająki with Karolina Merska, or use Stephanie Ganz’ recipe to bake Honeysuckle Cream Puffs – divine!

We have now sold out of Issue 40.
