Today, I wanted to show off and celebrate some of the lovely projects that have come off your needles recently. We love seeing how you put your own creative stamp on our patterns! This is just the tip of an extremely talented iceberg and I'll be sharing many more in the future.

Hi lovelies, it's Hanna Lisa here again, for our second part of my 'Behind the Scenes' series. (If you missed part one on working with us as a designer, give it a read here.) Today, I'd love to talk about something that is very rarely talked about publicly in our knitting community, and that is how we as an independent business make money.

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!
