#Pompom magazine issue 23 how to
4:35 Felicia asks the ladies about tips on how to survive knitwear photo shoots.1:35 Introducing the dynamic duo behind Pom Pom and chatting about how they celebrated the magazine’s 5th anniversary.On how Pom Pom began: “We were both really into knitting… and really into magazines in general and there were loads of great indie magazines around… but we didn’t feel like there was a magazine that 100% reflected the way that we felt about knitting and craft… We were just like, “Hey! Let’s give it a go!’” - Lydia Gluck Please join us this week as Felicia and the Pom Pom ladies discuss creating a new and unique voice for fibre artists! Now she heads up the London Pom Pom office, which is pretty much her favourite job ever. Lydia has a background in linguistics, and spends a lot of time trying to draw parallels between knitting and grammar. Lydia was born in London, grew up in Wales, studied in Manchester, and left her heart in Mexico. Meghan now lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and baby daughter. While in London she wrote her MA dissertation on knitting in 20th century women’s literature and worked for a publisher, a gallery, and a knitting shop, leaving her with a random but particular set of skills that could really only lead to running a knitting magazine. Now back in her native land, she is at the helm of Pom Pom in North America. Meghan is a former American transplant to London, where she lived for a decade. In the past 5 years, they have expanded out from magazine to also designing and publishing books, hosting awesome events, and producing a monthly podcast called Pomcast.
This past summer, they celebrated their 5th anniversary of Pom Pom. It’s a magazine that has lovely patterns, thoughtful articles, and useful tutorials.
If you aren’t already familiar with what Pom Pom is, it’s a beautiful, fresh, and modern quarterly magazine for knitting, crochet, and craft that was founded back in 2012. Issue 44 also includes a celebration of the art of screen printing by Mei Stephens, who muses on the parallels between printing and knitting, and Hannah McGregor’s second contribution to Pom Pom, this time taking on the colour yellow and its cultural history.This week, Felicia talks with Meghan Fernandes and Lydia Gluck: the two co-founders and editors of Pom Pom Quarterly. More than ever, representation of trans and intersex people is vital and we were honoured to work with them.įeaturing designs by: KLARA NILSSON – KLARYBERRY // MAREN ODENTHAL – KNITTERISTA // JESS KAVANAGH // JULIA MADILL // ARA STELLA // SUSANNA KAARTINEN – SANNA AND CO // JOANNE FOWLER // AMALIA SIEBER – KINDRED RED // SORAYA GARCÍA Pom Pom also invited two equally awe-inspiring people to model our knits for you this season.Īngel Joy Flores and Alicia Roth Weigel are activists who work towards a more equitable world for the LGBTQIA+ community in Texas and beyond. Pom Pom’s initial inspiration for this issue came from layering in images such as risographs, shadows, and superimposed photos, which got us thinking about printing and how it works.Īs a print publication, transferring the words and images we craft so carefully onto paper is part of what they do. You never know what the day will bring with spring, so it’s the perfect season for layering!Īll the pieces in this issue play with opacity, texture, colourwork, layering techniques, tones, and transparency – sometimes all at once!
