Inspired by the Japanese concept of Kuchisabishii 口寂しい (lonely mouth) which is eating not because you’re hungry, but because your mouth needs something to do.
Knitting is for Lonely Hands. My ultimate remedy for restless hands because busy hands = calm mind 💕

Nothing beats a hand knit cardigan. I love knits that become a part of the everyday wardrobe 🥰

My daughter made me crochet flowers for my birthday recently 🌷🤩
I feel so lucky that we get to share the love of making. Not only do we love hunting for the “perfect yellow” together or digging through buttons, but I also get the cutest gifts that she’s spent hours lovingly creating. They make me so happy! ❤️

The layout of my patterns is compact enough for your lap, yet comprehensive enough to include illustrations and a full schematic. Creative designs deserve creative layout 🔥
Available only from yarn stores.

Catrien's Ridgeline Cardi in her own Yarnfloozy yarn is so good! And with her own custom buttons ... it's a perfect match.

I have loved wearing my Ridgeline Cardigan by Purl Foundry Knitting Patterns ✨ So much so that I have not managed to take some proper photos of it finished! So for today here is an action shot, perfect for a chilly winters morning!

Knitted in ‘Wildflowers’ on Staunch 8ply 🌸

I sat down with the wonderful Rachel Klaver of The Wool Shop Rangiora today to talk about the messy, beautiful reality of designing knitting patterns. We talked about how Purl Foundry began, grading math and finding your own pattern writing style.

New pattern release ✨
The Ridgeline Cardi is a top-down, seamless saddle shoulder with the saddle seam running all the way to the cuff and with no sleeve pick-up seams! I love this one so much 💕

Just spent 4 days on the Heaphy Track. My first 4 day walk and I’m sore today but the NZ outdoors is just stunning! Native rainforests, vast tussock and incredible rock formations. So glad we got to experience it.
If you need me, I’ll be knitting on the couch for the next few days while my blisters heal 😆
