A late November reminder: you don’t need to knit a gift for everyone. Choose a few special projects, make a plan, and let the rest go.

It's release day for the Plot Twists knitting pattern! As readers, there’s nothing better than a good plot twist. The Plot Twists fingerless mitts bring some fun twists to an otherwise simple ribbing design, and are perfect for keeping your hands warm while you read your favourite books.

The “perfect sock yarn” is the one you’ll actually knit with. Whether it’s 100% wool or 25% nylon, the point is that you like it and use it.

I knit up a fuzzy Uszka Lamb with slub yarn and I’m obsessed with them.

You are free to question the science behind my research, but I stand by my claim that coffee and tea taste at least 63% better when you're drinking them from your most cherished mug.

I highly recommend having two knitting WIPs on the go: one challenging, one easy. That way, you can choose what matches your brain that day.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

It may not solve all of problems currently facing the world, but I think we can all agree that bringing back gargoyles, mixtapes, and handwritten letters with wax seals would be an important first step.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

Knitting is always an experiment. Take the risk of a tough pattern. Try the weird yarn. You might just find a new favourite.
