On Our Needles

We're at the end of an intense year - I think not only for us here at Making Stories, but for a lot of us in our lives, 2022 has been ... something. Thank you for sticking around, for supporting us, for ordering from us, for spreading the word about our magazine and our yarns.

One thing I want to do more of in 2023 is documenting my knits here, in this space. We're starting early with this blog post - with my latest FO! (A full recap of my Lueur shawl is coming in the new year)

Meet: Aurin's Treasured Cowl!

Hello lovelies,

one of my all-time favorite things to knit is ... hats. They knit up super quickly (at least in a heavier weight yarn), are really, really useful, and make for great gifts. Bonus points for patterns with interesting texture or cables - they are also extremely fun to knit!

As this month it's all about Gift Knitting here at Making Stories, I thought it would be fun to put together a post about those quick-to-knit and wonderful-to-gift hat patterns - and throw in a little goodie for you: All of these knit up beautifully in our new Hudson + West Co Forge.

Hi lovelies! It's that time of the year - the holidays are fast approaching, and the gift knitting has begun!

I really love gifting hand-knits, preferrably ones that are quick to knit up and make for a really enjoyable project - after all, I want to have fun while knitting them, and feel good about the finished object.

Hello friends, it's Claire here wishing you a very happy April 1, and a huge welcome to our Issue 7 KAL! This is the first time we are running a KAL for one of our magazines, and we cannot wait to see what you talented people create, and share what we are working on also!

But first things first; How is the KAL going to work? Let's check it out.

It's Claire here, and I'm back with a very woolly post! Knitting season is in full swing, and though we're year-round knitters here at Making Stories, there's something about Winter knitting that just feels special. Snuggling down under a cosy blanket with a new WIP and a hot mug of something steamy, that is our happy place.

Lately, Hanna Lisa and I have been knitting all the things, and we were so happy to find that our newest team member, Elsa, has been exactly the same! I thought it was the perfect time to do a little Making Stories Queue check so we can share our current projects with you all.

So without further ado, let's take a look!
