Welcome to the world of stitches.
Knitting and crochet are about so much more than counting stitches.
This is where you’ll find techniques and yarn, practical tips, free projects with #FreeStitches, stories from the world of knitting and crochet, and sometimes the things that don’t quite go according to plan.
A place to read, learn, discover – and sometimes simply smile.
You've put so much effort into your project.
You made a gauge swatch, chose your size, worked row by row…
and in the end, you try it on and think:
You're working on your project, focused and relaxed. You insert your hook or needle into the next stitch – and suddenly only part of the yarn is caught. The rest of the strands stay behind somewhere between the fibers.
Some designs never truly disappear – they simply wait for the right moment to be rediscovered.
You probably know this situation:
Today, when we knit, it usually happens in a cozy setting: on the sofa, with a cup of tea, maybe with music playing or a series in the background.
You probably know the situation:
Sometimes it happens without warning.
Some designs stay with us for years.
When the ball of yarn suddenly grows legs…You're sitting comfortably on the couch with your knitting or crochet project.
