Knitting is a hobby often associated with peace, mindfulness, and creativity. But what happens when you take it to an entirely different environment—like space? In 2015, the very first space knitting project was launched aboard the International Space Station (ISS). A true highlight for anyone who loves crafts with a twist!

We've all been there: You look down and realize a stitch has dropped, something's twisted, or a pattern row just doesn't look right. But don't panic – most knitting mishaps can be fixed without frogging your whole project.

Knitting is more than just a technique – it's a story made of loops, turns, and clacking needles.
From ancient Egyptian tombs to handmade socks with Fairtrade wool – each stitch carries a piece of the past.

Knitting is more than just a craft – especially for seniors. With age, fine motor skills may decline, routines become lonelier, and mental stimulation is needed more than ever. That's where knitting steps in – as a gentle yet powerful activity that brings movement, focus, and human connection.

Looking for a yarn that's eco-conscious, full of texture, and a little off the beaten path? Banana yarn might be your next fiber crush. Made from the stalks of banana plants, this unique material is strong, rustic, and sustainable – perfect for bold, practical projects.

Notebooks are charming – but let's be honest: our phones are always with us.
Luckily, there are tons of helpful apps that can support your knitting and crochet journey – from digital row counters to pattern editors, yarn databases, and even mobile community platforms.

Crocheting is full of curves, angles, and form – and at the heart of it all are increases and decreases. Whether you're shaping hats, amigurumi, garments, or accessories, mastering these techniques helps create clean, elegant transitions in your work.

It's more than just a hobby. More than creative time with needles and yarn. Regular handcrafting changes us – not just emotionally, but on a neurological level. It calms us, focuses us, and gives our thoughts direction.

You've got a beautiful skein of yarn in your hand – but now what? What should it become? Which colors go with it? Before diving into a new project, it's worth taking a moment to create a yarn moodboard – a creative and visual way to explore color ideas, textures, and inspiration. 🧶

Wool or cotton? Alpaca or linen? Choosing the right yarn goes far beyond personal preference or color. Each fiber comes with its own set of qualities that impact comfort, sustainability, care, skin compatibility and the crafting experience itself.

Structure meets airiness – in the most elegant way: Cables add depth and shape, while lace brings lightness and flow. When combined thoughtfully, they create a striking contrast that feels both modern and refined.

Sustainability isn't a trend – it's a mindset.
While organic cotton, hemp, and linen have become mainstays in eco-friendly yarn collections, new, exotic fibers are beginning to make waves. Among them: cactus yarn.
