Hi, 

There’s something special about this time of year — the long golden evenings, the quiet hush between projects. It’s the perfect time to let your knitting slow right down and become a little ritual again.

No pressure, no deadlines. Just small, beautiful things that bring joy with every stitch.

Here are five ways to bring a little stillness and inspiration into your knitting week:

1. Knit a little colour, just for you - The French Inspired cowl
My Slip-Stitch Colourwork Cowl is simple, relaxing, and completely free. A great project to try out slip-stitch colourwork without anything too fiddly — and it makes the most of leftover Aran weight yarn.

2. Play with a new idea: Short rows
Short rows are one of my favourite design tools — they shape fabric gently and add subtle interest. If you've never used them before, or just want a refresher, I’ve written a little guide on how I use them in my designs.

3. Add a tiny treasure to your toolkit
These Zentangle & other ceramic Buttons are individually hand-drawn and sealed — perfect for cardigans, pouches, handmade notebooks, or just as a lovely gift for another maker.

4. Organise your projects (and your thoughts)
Now’s the perfect time to take stock of your WIPs and ideas. These handmade A5 Project Notebooks are ideal for jotting down yarn details, stitch counts, sketches, or even just your knitting mood.

5. Just enjoy the quiet
Whether you pick up your needles tonight or simply sit with a cup of tea and your thoughts, this season is for slowing down. Take a moment to breathe, to swatch, or to knit something soft and simple — just for you.

I hope something here brings you a small, quiet joy — a pattern, a notebook, or a beautiful button. Thank you for being here and being part of this calm and creative space.
