Etel Adnan’s work features landscapes, using bold and unexpected colours to portray the places where the land meets the sky. Hilma af Klint created large abstract paintings of metaphysical meditations that she felt she had been called on to represent. Both show us distinct ways of looking at the world and at possible worlds beyond the visible realm, just as a knitter or crocheter can look at a ball of yarn and ponder a plethora of outcomes!
So whether you fancy a colourwork challenge or just some meditative time as the sun sets in the sky, there’s bound to be something here to expand your crafting horizons!
Issue 43 also includes an insightful and expansive interview with yarn dyers Jude Harper and Lola Johnson and a fascinating dig into the history of the colour pink by Hannah McGregor. We are also thrilled to include a bookmark tutorial from artist Elizabeth Ashdown using the centuries-old art of passementerie and a recipe for a carrot cake from Fi Churchman that will bring an orangey glow to chilly evenings.
