    Yarn Pairings for Laine Issue 13

    I love winter issues of magazines. There is something so tempting at the thought of hunkering down on a dark evening sipping a warm mug of hot chocolate. Letting your eye wander from project to project, enjoying the pages of endless inspiration before you. Laine is one of those magazines you can get lost in,…

Often they include a fun stitch or a different kind of construction you haven’t used before. I also love choosing my colours, as…
