Our autumn issue, Laine 26 - Crossing Paths, takes you to the bohemian
Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. We stroll the streets of this unique,
creative neighbourhood, stop by at a local café and pick up flowers from
the marketplace. The issue includes twelve beautiful knits to complete your
autumn outfits: they feature luscious cables, fascinating textures and
innovative stripe patterns — not to mention some meditative stockinette
stitch and simple colourwork. This issue truly offers something for
everyone!
