Elevate your creativity.
Ignite your knitting passion with these fabulous ideas!
Here’s what I’ve loved in knitting this week…
This was a fascinating and educational essay by
about what goes into making a skein of yarn. And why it’s expensive to buy high-quality yarn.I loved what Sandi wrote about this -
“Or you can buy high-quality yarn made from natural fibers by companies that treat people, land, and animals with respect. This yarn won’t be inexpensive. And that’s as it should be.”
And do you also spin, like
? I’d love to learn how!And now… onwards to your weekly What To Knit Next issue!

This week’s knitting ideas you can't miss…
Elevate a simple outfit with a touch of lace.
Imagine transforming a simple summer tee into something delightful! The Solaria Cowl, with its detailed lace reminiscent of cogwheels and the sun, promises that. Intended not only as a warm neck piece but also as a chic capelet, the pattern marries style with comfort, ideal for cool, starry nights.
The simplicity of ‘cromulent’.
’s Cromulent Shawl is a great design for brioche lovers needing a comforting and yet engaging knit. It’s refreshing to see a design that allows for customization with gradient yarns or leftover skeins!As Kavitha says about what inspired the name:
“I designed this shawl as a go-to kind of accessory, i.e. something you reach for often, wear anywhere without much thinking, but still feel adequate. The word ‘cromulent’ originated as a joke in The Simpsons show. It means ‘acceptable’ or ‘fine’.”
A flourish of floral and plaid.
The Lilleke light sweater by Aleks Byrd is a mixture of floral motifs and tartan plaid through Roosimine Estonian inlay knitting.
Perfect for those looking to dip their toes into more intricate colorwork!
Embrace the charm of a sloth in your knitwear.
For those who adore both knitting and sloths, the Sloth Cowl might just be your next favorite project.
What adds to its charm is the textured fur effect achieved through the star stitch. It’s a creative and fun project, perfect for those chilly days when you just want to add a touch of joy and quirkiness to your outfit.
