My friends, I have learned so much, grown so much, challenged myself, built an amazing community of wonderful people here AND it’s time for me to do other things. Whether forever or for a time remains to be seen but we are closing our online store very soon and I’d like you all to get a great deal in the process.

Everything is 40% off as off 7am today. Go for gold! The discount is automatic at checkout. Thank you thank you because you’re all the best and I know I will have your support on this.

I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still be here knitting away, planning for woolinthebay 2027, just in a different capacity. I’m around for questions if you have them. 🩷

I think most of us as knitters/crocheters have a “white whale” project, or a Roman Empire project, if you will. It’s the pattern that lives rent free in your brain and you endlessly go over colour combos, yarn options, etc with the hope of someday actually making this garment.

For a very long time I have had the Lunenburg pullover on my list by Amy Christoffers and I am *finally* making it. I’m using a combination of yarns in my stash and I’ve got about 10 rows left of the yoke chart, and I’m in love.

I would love to hear in the comments about a pattern you hope to make someday or that you can’t stop thinking about….

Four Whole Years Today!

The Knit Nook is four years old today. We did three years in a retail space and now a year solely online with a few pop-ups.

Lots of learning, always. Lots of growth, some smooth and some painful, but we’re still here! And that’s because of you, my lovely customers and friends, who have supported us along the way!

As a thank you for that support we are offering 20% off everything on the website from now until Saturday night at midnight. So celebrate with us and get shopping, friends! 🫶🏽🩷

It’s Friday 🙌☕️🩷

This was earlier in the week on a blue sky, but very cold morning! Knitting socks as per usual, drinking coffee as per usual, and people watching.

What are you looking forward to this weekend? A show? A hike? Yummy food? Time with friends? Whanau? Pet snuggles? A good book? I’m getting through these winter months by putting joy on the to-do list.

94 grams.

That is exactly how much this little 3-6 months cardi weighs.

I used a 150 gram ball of Opal DK Sock Yarn and wanted to see how it knit up in a baby pattern.

And bonus! It’s 75% wool and 25% nylon which means a Mama can put it in the wash and freshen it up when needed.

Double bonus! This pattern called Pop! Baby Cardigan by Rachel Atkinson, can be knit in the round or flat and it’s got directions for both.

I think this yarn is great for slipper socks, absolutely… but honestly kind of fantastic to tuck a ball away into stash for a last minute baby shower gift or new baby. We’ve got lots of colour-ways in stock on the website.

In my happy place last weekend. Knitting in a cozy knit and sat on a knitted blanket. 😜 The pop-up was good fun!

Woolly DK is a dream to with. Bouncy, soft, woolly without being scratchy, and so many colours! This one is the colour Splash knit as a sample I’ll be bringing with me to our pop up shop in August. What’s on your needles this week, my yarny friends?

Everyone needs a Trusty Beanie. It’s finally here! Available both on Ravelry and on our website. Huzzah!
The sample beanie was knit on Woolly 8ply yarn which we stock.

Thank you to our wonderful test knitters who took the time to knit this pattern and gave us great feedback and photos to share with you. I hope that you’ll give this a go as it’s a super cozy and satisfying little project. Great for gift knitting, beginner knitting friendly, and just all round classic.

Welcome my new baby into the world with some love in the comments if you please. 🙌🏼🎉🥳

We’ve got buttons, my friends. Really fun, bright, rad buttons. Sarah Hearts makes such great products that we couldn’t help but bring them in. We’ve got them in two different sizes. Find them on the website!

Sarah Hearts create unique notions and gifts for sewists, quilters, knitters, crocheters and makers of all experience levels with their super fun designs!
