Issue 8 invites us all to sit and knit while getting lost watching the flames of a campfire dance. Texture, cables, colourwork, or soothing stockinette—no matter which one speaks to you at the moment, you’ll find something you love in these pages. Speaking of love, the love for this planet and carefully caring for it while we’re out in nature is the thread that weaves through this issue’s essays and illustrations.
With Making Stories Magazine, we strive to feature companies and makers who focus on sustainability, transparency, fairness and equity in their work. We love telling their stories and hope to inspire and enable crafters to make conscious and informed decisions about the materials they use and companies they support.
