The first issue of Laine Magazine was published in 2016, and this year marks Laine’s 10th anniversary!

Laine 29, Damson, includes 15 beautiful knits well-suited for warmer seasons. The patterns are worked in a variety of techniques, from intricate cables and modern openwork to cosy brioche and meditative stockinette stitch. The photos capture the spirit of lazy, lingering summer days in the garden. The photoshoot drew inspiration from the movie The Hours, particularly the effortless style of Clarissa Vaughan, portrayed by Meryl Streep, as well the beauty of the English countryside, which serves as the backdrop for one of the film’s storylines.

Designers featured in this issue: Pauline Fanguin, Joanna Filip, Saysha Greene, Kaori Katsurada, Marija Korać, Sarianna Lehtonen, Sara Markkula, Paula Narkiniemi, Sari Nordlund, Anne-Sophie Nørby Velling, Serena Qiu, Camille Romano and Lis Smith.

We also meet Olga Fahim, the creator behind Gotham Knits (@gotham.knits), who has become a pioneer of comical knitting content online. And in Laine's Five Ways article, they have gathered a few key points all knitters should consider when choosing the perfect material for their knitting project!
