Tin Can Knits is a design duo who I recommend in the store constantly because their patterns are extremely well written, they’re are accessible to multiple skill levels, they always come in almost ALL sizes imaginable, and some of them are even FREE! Plus, they are Canadian (and it may not be connected, but when I write to them with questions or suggestions they’re always really helpful and kind)! Now Tin Can Knits has a FREE app, so if you are digitally inclined and you’ve got room on your phone for one more download, I say it is worth checking it out!

Guest Editor: Candice English of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers
“Collaborating with creatives we admire is one of the great joys of making Pom Pom. Candice English of The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers has been an inspiration to us for a long time, both as a dyer and as an advocate for Indigenous women. We are thrilled to welcome Candice as Guest Editor for this issue.Candice has brought a fresh perspective to these pages, along with her distinctive aesthetic, drawing from both her Indigenous roots and life in the American West. We are so grateful to her for sharing herself, her work, and her family with us. It’s an honour to be trusted with the stories and creativity of each contributor to this autumn issue. The patterns in this issue are a representation of hard and soft duality in the American West. The hard work embedded in the people of Montana is a result of the softness you find in the spirit of Indigenous homelands. You will find classic designs that can be worn in utilitarian ways but also jazzed up a bit for social outings.”
