Every knitter has a story. Ann’s begins at seven years old, learning alongside her sister and cousin from her grandmother.
More than 60 years later, she still has the afghan her grandmother made for her, remembers the very first yarn shop that changed how she thought about knitting, and can tell you exactly why every handmade gift carries something more than just stitches.
One of our favorite moments is when she describes a wedding blanket she made for her son and daughter-in-law. She estimated there were hundreds of thousands of stitches in it, and wrote them a note that said:
“Every single one of them was knit with love.” ❤️
It’s a beautiful reminder that handmade gifts aren’t valuable because of the yarn or the pattern—they’re valuable because someone chose to spend their time making something just for you.
What’s the oldest handmade item you still own? We’d love to hear the story behind it. 🧶

I fear we’ve been knitting for too long. JK, you can never knit too long. Knit ALL day.

🔮 PATTERN PROPHECIES: Rowan Magazine No. 79 🔮
Yes, fall is creeping closer. No, that will not stop us from appreciating an excellent Spring/Summer Rowan magazine. 🧶
This round, we’re predicting patterns for Madelyn, Taylor, and ourselves from Rowan Magazine No. 79—and figuring out which yarns from the shop we’d use to make them.
There are a LOT of good ones in this issue, from the Marigold Cardigan to delicate lace details, classic silhouettes, and enough potential Camper color combinations to keep us occupied for an unreasonable amount of time.
And we have to give Rowan some extra credit for something we don’t see nearly enough of: great unisex and menswear patterns. The nautical section has several designs shown on both men and women, and in a knitting world where men’s patterns can sometimes feel like a bit of a desert, we love seeing classic pieces that work for everybody.
Did we predict each other’s patterns correctly? Mostly. Were there a few surprises? Absolutely.
Now it’s your turn: Which pattern from Rowan No. 79 would you choose for yourself? 👀

✨ Your zodiac sign as a Kalevala knit ✨
We went through all 18 patterns in Knitted Kalevala by Jenna Kostet and did the very serious, highly scientific work of deciding which design belongs to each sign of the zodiac. 🔮🧶
Swipe through to find yours — and let us know if we got it right. 👀
Knitted Kalevala is inspired by the Kalevala, Finland’s national epic: a collection of old poetry filled with Baltic-Finnic mythology, ancient symbols, nature and mythical creatures. Jenna Kostet translates that world into 18 beautiful knitting patterns, with Finnish, Scandinavian and Baltic influences woven throughout the colorwork.
Inside you’ll find 12 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 2 pairs of socks, mittens and a hat, ranging from delicate motifs to dramatic statement knits. And despite how intricate some of them look, the colorwork uses only two colors at a time!
We love a pattern book that feels like something you can sit down and read just as much as something you knit from — and this one is full of stories, history and designs that feel completely unlike anything else on our shelves.
So, the important question: Which Kalevala knit did the stars choose for you? And would you actually make it? ♈️♉️♊️♋️♌️♍️♎️♏️♐️♑️♒️♓️
Knitted Kalevala is available at Knits & Pieces. ❤️

We found her. The woman from the study.
Ann is 69, has been knitting since she was about seven, and after more than 60 years of experience, she has developed some knitting opinions.
She likes complicated patterns. She likes cables, colorwork and bobbles. She thinks endless stockinette is boring. She likes to purl. She loves to seam. She thinks seamed garments fit better. And she has literally fallen asleep knitting stockinette in the round.
In other words, after three days of extremely rigorous investigation, our findings remain unchanged.
But beneath Ann’s knitting hot takes is something we really love: after all these years, she still wants knitting to challenge her. She wants to learn something new, make something complicated, and occasionally force herself to practice a little patience.
And after more than six decades of knitting, she still considers it a friend: “You’re never really alone when you have your knitting.” ❤️
Now that our investigation is complete, we need to know: Team Purling? Or Anti-Purling?

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE KNITTING COMMUNITY 🚨

Researchers have finally confirmed what some of us have suspected for years:
People who enjoy purling AND working garments flat are hotter and more interesting than your typical knitter.*
Yesterday we presented the case for seaming. Today, the science speaks for itself.
Tomorrow, we introduce you to someone who may be living proof.
*Research conducted internally by the Knits & Pieces Department of Extremely Biased Knitting Studies. Results have not been peer reviewed. 🧶

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: YOU MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY HATE SEAMING. 🚨

Madelyn has a theory: a lot of knitters who say they hate seaming… have never actually seamed a sweater.
And thus begins our campaign to bring back knitting garments in pieces. 🫡

Seaming is not that hard. Watching two pieces of knitting magically cinch together is deeply satisfying. Your projects stay more portable. Mistakes are contained to individual pieces. And those seams actually add structure to your finished garment.

Does Madelyn have some grouchy young-lady opinions about the disappearance of seamed sweaters? Absolutely.
Will she still happily help you with your top-down yoke sweater? Of course.
Will she judge you?
Not to your face. ❤️
All we ask is that you give seaming a chance.
Stay tuned. We have reason to believe further evidence supporting Madelyn’s position may emerge this week.

Meet Camper by Kelbourne Woolens. 🧶

Some yarns are project-specific, and some become staples. Camper definitely falls into the second category.

This 100% wool fingering-weight yarn has incredible stitch definition, a satisfying bounce, and enough versatility to handle just about anything—from intricate colorwork and cables to lace, socks, sweaters, hats, and everyday accessories.

If you’re looking for a dependable wool that wears beautifully and lets your stitches shine, Camper is one you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
Stop by the shop to see the full color palette and start planning your next project!

Some stories remind us that knitting is about so much more than making sweaters.
When Ann lost her husband, she couldn’t bring herself to pick up her needles. The project she had been working on stayed exactly where it was, and for months, knitting felt impossible.

Then she walked through the doors of Knits & Pieces on a Friday night.

One welcoming seat, one familiar face, and one evening spent among other knitters slowly became the first steps toward finding joy in knitting again. Eventually, she picked up the same sweater she had set aside. She left one small mistake exactly where it was—a quiet reminder that our projects can carry our stories, our grief, our healing, and our resilience.

We are so grateful to Ann for trusting us with such a personal part of her journey. ❤️

Sometimes a yarn shop is more than a place to buy yarn. Sometimes it’s exactly where you need to be.

If knitting—or a knitting community—has helped you through a difficult season, we’d love to hear your story below. 🧶
