“Dreamscape” is the theme of issue 40, rendered in fluffy mohair, soft pastels, loose gauges, and delicate openwork.

This ethereal collection is made up of garments with romantic details – bell sleeves, ruffles, scalloped collars, and the like. There are a couple of pairs of socks, as well, and instructions for making pająki, traditional Polish chandeliers.

Pom Pom Quarterly: Winter 2021.

Posted by on

The Winter 2021 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly has arrived here at the shop!

Rhythm is the theme for this issue, and it shows in the texture and colorwork patterns as well as the prose. “Polyrhythm,” the striking sweater on the cover, was designed by Johanna Kunin for Berroco Ultra Wool.

We were particularly excited to see an essay on craft and rhythm from designer Felicity Ford.

The star of this show, however, is all the sweater patterns – most for knitters, but one to crochet!

Along with this issue, we also have the Summer 2019, Autumn 2019, Spring 2020, Summer 2020, Autumn 2020, Spring 2021, and Summer 2021 issues in stock – preview them on our blog and get in touch if you’d like to add them to your Pom Pom collection!

Pom Pom Quarterly: Autumn 2021.

Posted by on

The Autumn 2021 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly has arrived here at the shop!

Roots and branches are the inspiration for this issue, and it shows in the texture, cable, and colorwork patterns as well as the prose.

As editors Meghan Fernandes and Lydia Gluck write, this issue buzzes with “cables that echo gnarled roots, twisted stitches that call to mind the delicate tips of bare branches, and colorwork that interprets the living world on a tree’s trunk.” There are accessory patterns in the mix, but fall magazines are really all about the sweaters.

Along with intriguing patterns and essays, Pom Pom also features a recipe in each issue – this time it’s a Cantonese pudding made, fittingly, from ginger root.

Pom Pom Quarterly: Summer 2021.

The Summer 2021 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly has arrived here at the shop!

Birds are the theme of this issue, inspiring the aesthetic choices of the contributing designers and providing metaphors and motifs that appear in the written material, as well.

Flipping through this issue, I spotted a few familiar yarns put to beautiful use – CoopKnits Socks Yeah! in colorwork socks, Kelbourne Woolens Mojave in a lacy summer top, and BC Garn Bio Balance in a color blocked tee.

Along with intriguing patterns and essays, Pom Pom also features a recipe in each issue – this time it’s a marbled coconut milk loaf, fittingly named Feather Bread.

This issue’s theme is quilting, a textile practice whose resourcefulness and design elements are here interpreted in vibrant color by knit and crochet designers alike.

Among these exciting new patterns, there’s some good reading, too – an interview with Sara Trail of the Social Justice Sewing Academy, and an article by Sofia Aatkar on crafting and identity expression.

Ready Set Raglan.

Posted by on

Ready Set Raglan is here!

This new book from Pom Pom Press is all about raglan-sleeve pullovers, complete with patterns, tutorials, and inspiring modifications.

It’s a follow-up to Pom Pom’s excellent beginner book, Knit How, and invites improving knitters to take another step forward in their knitting skills.

The patterns are beautiful in their simplicity, which also makes them a blank slate for modifications – the section on “Variations and Adjustments” will see you through different sleeve and body lengths, necklines, and more, while the “Exploring Color” chapter covers stripes, marling, and color combinations.

Any knitters on your list this holiday season? Ready Set Raglan makes an excellent gift. Copies are $26.50 each – order online for local pickup or shipping!

Back in stock: Knit How.

Posted by on

We’re delighted to have our very favorite learn-to-knit book back in stock – Pom Pom’s Knit How!

Since we’ve all been encouraged to stay home during the pandemic, we’ve noticed an increase in new knitters, looking to dig into a new hobby. Knit How is a fresh book for knitters just getting started, one that’s as enticing and beautifully designed as books and magazines for more experienced knitters.

It begins with the fundamentals of knitting: casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off. The instructions are friendly and the photos and illustrations are clear, and helpful tips are sprinkled throughout.

From there, the book guides knitters through 10 patterns, each of which introduces a new technique, like increasing and decreasing, working in the round, cables, and lace.

Know someone seeking a new pastime? Knit How makes an excellent gift. Copies are $26.50 each – order online for local pickup or shipping!

Pom Pom Quarterly: Autumn 2020.

Posted by on

The Autumn 2020 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly has arrived here at the shop!

This issue is guest edited by Ocean Rose, who chose the theme “home,” so appropriate for the season any year, but especially this year. For safety and also in keeping with the theme, the folks at Pom Pom had models take their own photos at home, and the results are truly beautiful.

The cover sweater is a striking intarsia pullover by Sylvia Watts-Cherry, knit with Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift.

Pick up this issue for essays by Sukrita Mahon and Elliot Maud, designs by Tressa Weidenaar, Audrey Borrego, thepetiteknitter, and others, and even a spectacular cheesecake recipe!

Pom Pom Quarterly is $18.50 – order online and we can ship it to you, or you can come by to pick it up here at the shop!
