    Hi lovelies!

    I hope you are well, and making a dent in your gift knitting (if you are gift knitting this year, that is!)

    I am back here today with something a little different: A question for you.

    Over the course of the last year, I took over writing most of our blog posts again, and while I love it very much, I also noticed that I tend to gravitate towards posts that I like to read – pattern inspiration posts, FO roundups, that sort of thing. Which is very much a deviation from where we originally started which was with lots of in-depth advice on knitting ("How to get gauge" is still an all-time favorite post!) and insights into how sustainable yarns are made.

    I would love to get back to those topics in the next year, but as those posts require more time to research and write, I want to make sure that that is also what you want to read.

    So, today, I'd love to know: What do you want to read on the blog?Comment down below with one topic or knitting-related question that you have on your mind right now – I want to hear all of them!

    I like a mix but as someone posted earlier also things like a yarn review with pattern links plus it’s pros and cons. Articles such as tips and tricks for knitting socks with no nylon yarn but also wips and FO’s are nice to see too.

    I always love reading about new patterns and the yarns you carry, but what drew me to you initially was your very useful information on sustainability and what that means in terms of yarns. So anything you can share with us on the issue of sustainability would be very much appreciated because you do it so well.

    I like posts where you highlight a yarn and give links to patterns where it has been used.

    Was ich gerne in Blogs lese:
    - Portraits von neuen oder besonderen Garnen (mit mehr Hintergrund zu Zusammensetzung, besonders geeignet für…)
    - neue Strickanleitungen, die ich sonst vielleicht übersehe…
    - Tipps und Tricks zu verschiedenen Stricktechniken aller Art, von “how to get gauge” über “welcher Bind off ist für was geeignet” bis zu “welche Zunahmen sind für was geeignet”

    Both in depth topics and pattern/yarn discussion is ok with me

    Hi lovelies,

    I can't believe it's that time of the year again – time to take stock, and reflect a little on what 2023 has brought to Making Stories. Another year (almost) in the books which means we're entering our 8th year in business soon. Which feels absolutely wild, even more so in a year that has seen so many small businesses, especially in the fiber world and in indie publishing, close their doors. (I'm so sad to see Pompom Magazine go!)

    I like sitting down with a good cup of coffee at some in December, and think through what the year has meant for us, and what has happened here at Making Stories. There's no particular order here, just how these thoughts came to mind!

    Hi lovelies!

    As I was finishing up Aurin's Joy Cardigan over the weekend, I started thinking about what I could cast on now that one of my current WIPs is almost done. And then it hit me - the holidays are just under two months away, and I have this dream of knitting a few sweaters for my nephews. Will I manage it in time? Who knows. But it would be nice to gift them the promised sweaters in time for the end of the year so that they actually get a little wear out of them still this winter!

    Are you already deep in gift knitting mode or, like me, just starting to plan? If the latter (or the former, if you still need a few ideas!) I might have just the thing for you: Three super quick gift knit ideas!
