Making Stories Magazine - Issue 3

ONLY in English

------

Making Stories is, at the moment, the first magazine dedicated to knitwear to be without advertising inside. Printed locally (so in Berlin - because that's where the publishing house is located) on 100% recycled paper, Making Stories aims to raise awareness of companies in the sector that are attentive to issues such as sustainability, transparency and fairness in their work in order to inform readers, helping them to make conscious choices about the use of materials and the companies to support.

All the designs contained in the magazine can be viewed on ravelry .

About Issue 3

Issue 3 explores the topic of Growth with patterns that reflect this inspiration both in their stitch patterns and construction. All of them have been selected with an eye towards versatility in wearing as we're entering spring and autumn, both transitional seasons where layering is key.

In terms of the editorial content, we're looking at Growth from a few different angles: We have a fantastic conversation among a few fiber business owners who share their views on business growth and sustainability, Gaye Glasspie dives into what sustainable growth meant and means for her, Alina Jordan explores the depth of Social Media and how its growth has changed her life as a knitter, and Ani Lee opens up about growing to appreciate her body.
