Just wanted to share the sneak peek teaser that Pom Pom Quarterly have released for their upcoming Spring Issue:

I have a travelogue article featured in this issue and maybe even a teensy little pattern to go along with it! I’m very excited to be a part of this issue, as Pom Pom is such an exciting new publication for the knitting community.
I fell pretty hard for the recent chevron trend and decided I needed a little zig-zag décor for my house. Using a rug from West Elm as my inspiration, I decided to crochet a rug.
This was my “back-burner” project over the summer as I would pick it up in between some of the other projects I had on the needles. It took a long time for me to finish something so simple, but it came out really cute. I used cotton/acrylic yarn, so it will be easy to just toss in the wash when it gets dirty…. cause somebody around here loves to dirty up my rugs!
Pattern: Slightly modified version of Sahara from the book 200 ripple stitch patterns by Jan Eaton. I crocheted 6 pattern rows before changing colors.
Yarn: Lion Brand Cotton Ease, in colors grey and white
Hook: size G 4.25 MM
Have you heard of the new knitting/craft/food/drink/music/art magazine Pom Pom Quarterly yet?
I came across Pom Pom on Ravelry and was instantly smitten with what these lovely London ladies are doing; this is a beautifully designed/laid out/photographed and printed magazine that is so different than your typical knitting mag.
The patterns are interesting and ones that you’d actually want to knit AND wear and they are photographed and styled so beautifully. Plus, there are food and cocktail recipes, a bit of music love and some great articles that you want to read while snuggled under your favorite knitted throw. (That’s what I did!)
There is a lot more to this great new publication, but I don’t want to show you everything here, because I think you should hop on over and buy an issue or subscribe and support what these fabulous ladies are making. Something this great doesn’t come along too often, but I’m very glad to see that it has.
Love Is All You Knit
