Laine Magazine Issue 16, Winter 2022

Laine Magazine 16, Winter is here, and is the last of the year. I have to say this issue is one of my absolute favourites from the series and I have knitted a few of these stunning patterns. 

Issue 16 brings us to the streets of Laine's beloved Helsinki, the capital of Finland. We see a charming bookstore and an edgy record store, and sit down to have a warming cup of coffee. In short, a perfect, slow Saturday.
