The Annual (issue five) [Pre-order – Print & Digital]

Please note: This is a pre-order for the print version containing digital download codes for both our website and for Ravelry. We will also have a digital-only version available on launch day, 5th September! 

For The Annual (issue five) we are harkening back to those nostalgic memories of holidays by the seaside – sandy toes, stripy swimsuits, pastel-coloured houses, penny machines on the pier and chippy tea with lashings of ketchup. Those long lazy weeks where the only thing one had to worry about was (in predictably British fashion) whether or not the sun would finally peek out from behind those clouds, pop its hat on and come out to play.

Within the 124 pages filled with ‘Seaside Kitsch’, we’re indulging our inner children with an old-school annual brimming with puzzles, illustrations, articles and brand-new patterns – six knitting and one crochet. Aleks Byrd joins us to explore how to play with colour, and we’re introducing you to another one of our mill machines – Gino, the cone winder. 

The playfulness of this issue of The Annual is echoed in delightful beachy illustrations strewn throughout the pages (do look for cute little creatures frolicking about!) and the types of patterns we’ve selected. While still being extremely wearable, all seven patterns include a unique, joyful element – from shapes inspired by a parasol, or the unexpected direction of stripes, to waves shimmering across a wrap.

Please note: This is a pre-order for the print version containing digital download codes. Print pre-orders will start shipping late August*. The digital download codes for the website PDF and Ravelry versions of The Annual (issue five) that are included in the print version will only become active on 5th September, the official publication date. Also, any other items purchased alongside a copy of The Annual (issue five) will not ship until late August*, if you would like your other items sooner please place separate orders.

Digital-only version coming 5th September! We’ve been listening to you lovely folks and are bringing The Annual (issue five) in a digital format to your screens! The digital version of The Annual (issue five) will be available for purchase from 5th September onwards on our website and Ravelry.

If you purchase a print version, you also get access to the digital version through a download code on the inside of your copy (for our website or Ravelry).

* All orders to the USA will ship as soon as we are able to, as we are aware that at the end of August the new rules on orders under $800 being liable for customs duties and tariffs comes into effect, so we will endeavour to get your orders to you before this date, but cannot guarantee that this is the case and that you will not be charged upon their arrival in the US.
