I'd like to welcome Woodbine to the fold! You may remember this pattern from September last year when it made its debut in Issue 9 of Laine Magazine. In fact, Woodbine was featured on the cover of this issue, a surprise that caught me off guard. It was a lovely honour to be featured on the cover. Thanks, Laine!

I am really excited to share the release of amisiru's Issue 12 which contains my second design published by them. Before the release of my first pattern with amirisu, Phōs in Issue 11, I was already working away on this new design for their winter, Issue 12.
