Pocket Book 22nd July Nurture cover H&C23I am a big fan of Hole & Corner magazine and it has featured in the Pocket Book before. Their latest issue, number 23, is available for Pre-Order now and focuses on Nurture and in particular, the the idea of slow and careful nurture. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, nurture is ‘the process of bringing up or training’ and is also about feeding and offering nourishment. Looking a variety of different interpretations of the term Nurture, the magazine explores crafts, methods and livelihoods all involved in nurturing.

You can also subscribe to their weekly newsletter with regulars such as My Hole & Corner and themed playlists.

I love a free pattern and Purl Soho are one of the best for free patterns that are actually worth making. This little bag (The Dumpling Bag) caught my eye as it takes about 100g of yarn and looks quite an easy project. If you like this, then do have a look at their website as they have a section called CREATE with all kinds of ideas. Happy creating!
