Every crafter’s dream is to present everyone they love with a beautiful handmade gift for the holidays. Picking out colours and patterns that you just know those dearest to you will adore and imagining the joy on their faces becomes one of the most enjoyable parts of the festive season.

The daylight is dwindling, there’s a chill in the air, and everywhere we go around London twinkly lights are starting to appear hung on streetlights and strung across alleys. There’s no denying it: the holidays are here!

As we launched all our 20th anniversary specials over the summer, we made sure to hold one of everything back for a special occasion, so we could spread all the love, luck, and joy of the past 20 years. Now, we’re so excited to share these with you in the form of seven gorgeous prize bundles!

One of the things we love most about this community is how much it loves to give back. By its very nature crafting brings us into contact with the physical world around us. The fact that we get to use our craft to improve the physical realities of people everywhere is just beautiful.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the many lives a pattern lives once it’s out in the world. As a designer or collaborator you may have ideas in mind for colour, texture, fibre, gauge, but you can never truly predict where the wonderful community of knitters will run with your stitches.

Blustery skies, ever-earlier sunsets, and rust hues on the trees. This time of year calls for drawing in, tending the home fires, and creating cosiness to keep out the cool days ahead. This week, we have a stellar collection of beautiful things to help you do just that!
