I asked the rest of the team if they had any plans already lined up for their needles and they came back with some fantastic suggestions! So if you are looking for a little inspiration grab a glass of mulled wine, a left over roast potato (does anyone else suddenly like to eat cold roasties at this time of year?) and get ready to be inspired!

Christmas is very nearly upon us and hopefully you are finding a little time in between the present wrapping and the food prepping to unwind a little. It’s so easy at this time of year to get caught up in the more commercial side of the holidays and it’s important to embrace those little traditions that make Christmas so special and that we continue year after year. To get us in the mood I asked the Making Stories team if they would like to share their favourite Christmas traditions with us.

For my first “semi-guest” post, we picked a topic that is very dear to our heart: How we structure our work process with designers to make sure it’s as transparent and fair as possible.

Today we are so excited to be releasing our final digital collection of the year, Making Stories & Friends Winter 2018! This collection is extremely close to our hearts and we can’t think of a better way to round off what has been a busy, but amazing year!

Knitting season is in full swing and along with planning which patterns we’d like to work on, we’re all having all sorts of fun choosing our yarn! Whether you’re online shopping or visiting your LYS it’s one of the most exciting parts of the project. For today’s post, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some more sustainable approaches to yarn shopping to make that new pattern feel a little more accessible!

If you have not heard of our Ambassador program before let me give you a few details! We partner with individuals all over the world who share our love and passion for natural, sustainably made yarns and gorgeous patterns. I thought it would be nice to introduce our Ambassadors taking part in the JEWELS release and let them share a little more about themselves and their upcoming events!
