Pom Pom Quarterly, Issue 47: Winter 2023

Pom Pom was founded in 2012 as a quarterly that would present knitting, crochet, and craft in the modern, beautiful, and meaningful way we’ve always known it should be. Mainly conceived as a collection of patterns complemented by thoughtful writing and useful tutorials, we also celebrate the joy of making, hopefully without taking ourselves too seriously!

In this issue:

Pom Pom has always been a celebration of colour in knit and crochet form and this issue is no different. We love colour so much that often we try and get as much of it into each piece as we can, but for this monochrome-themed  issue we wanted to see what could be done with fabrics that used more subtle tonal differences within a single hue, or closely related ones. 

In this issue, our designers played with depth, saturation, and brightness; maximum impact with minimum contrast.

In addition to our makes we have an interview with Dana Williams-Johnson who answers our eager questions about her PhD dissertation that centres around knitting and representation of Black women in the online crafting community.

We also have a winter-friendly recipe by Fi Churchman.
