Colour is often the first thing we respond to in a yarn or project. In the first post of A Month of Colour, we look at how colour shapes mood, memory, instinct and the feeling of a finished piece.

Choosing your next handmade wardrobe project is not always about what feels most exciting in the moment. In this post, we reflect on the pieces we already love to wear, the gaps in our wardrobe, and the small clues that can help guide what to make next.

Handmade garments hold more than yarn and stitches. They carry the memory of choosing colours, casting on, working slowly, and the moments of life that gathered around the making.

Choosing colours for handmade garments is about more than what looks beautiful in the skein. In this post, we explore how to notice the shades you truly love to wear, build a more personal palette, and choose colours that feel at home in your wardrobe.

Yarn choice shapes so much more than how a project looks — it influences how it feels to knit, how it wears, and how often you reach for it. In this post, we explore how different fibres and textures can transform sweaters, shawls, and everyday pieces, and how to choose yarn with the finished garment in mind.

A handmade wardrobe rarely happens all at once. It grows gradually, one sweater, shawl, cardigan, or pair of socks at a time. In this post, we’re reflecting on the joy of building a wardrobe filled with pieces made slowly, thoughtfully, and with care.

A gentle introduction to The Knitter's Wardrobe Series, a May blog series exploring handmade wardrobes, Me Made May, and the garments and accessories we return to again and again.

There is a particular comfort in returning to a familiar knitting pattern. When we already know the rhythm of a project, much of the uncertainty falls away, making more room to enjoy the yarn, the movement of the needles, and the quiet satisfaction of slow making.

From softness and texture to colour and mood, a look at how yarn choice becomes part of a more mindful, enjoyable knitting experience.

In this second post from our Month of Slow Knitting series, we're reflecting on the comfort of slowing down in the evening and the simple knitting projects that help us do just that.  It's a gentle look at quiet making, easy rhythms, and the kinds of projects that invite us to unwind at the end of the day.

Discover the quiet comfort of slow knitting in this first post of our April series. We explore mindful knitting, simple projects, and the calming rituals that make knitting such a restful and grounding part of everyday life.
