A Thank You Gift From Us To You - For Supporting Us in 2023!
Dear lovely Collective member,
it's almost time to wrap up the year! In just a few short weeks, I'll be taking a few days off to recharge, and I hope you do the same.
I want to say a very, very heartfelt thank you for supporting us in 2023. Every single contribution to the Collective helps keep the lights on here at Making Stories, and I deeply appreciate every single one of you. You make this work possible!
Also, I've so enjoyed meeting many of you during our Virtual Knit Nights! They've become one of my favorite things of the Collective – an hour every month to sit and knit and chat and see what you have on the needles.
The Knit Nights are open to everyone, regardless of level, and I'd love to see familiar faces and new ones alike again in our Google Meets room next year. As of 2024, we'll be meeting every first Tuesday of the month at 8pm CET (Berlin time), starting on February 6. Keep an eye on your emails for the link!
Lastly, I'd love to send over a little gift from us to. With the code CollectiveThankYou2023, you get 15% off in the webshop. Tuck it away for the next time you see something you love in the shop, or spend it now on something you can use for your next project – whatever you prefer! It doesn't have an expiration date :)
Onwards to 2024!

A Gentle Check In - 2024 so far, and Thoughts on the Collective
Hello my dear Collective members, how have you been? I hope spring has gently arrived, wherever you are, and that you enjoy the first warm sunrays as much as I am, here in Berlin.
For today's Collective-exclusive blog post, I want to take a look back at 2024 so far – it's been almost three months, and quite a few things have happened. Some of them very much behind the scenes, so I hope you'll enjoy this!
2024 started with a very unpleasant surprise.
I remember this so clearly: I was sitting in my office, the second week of January, staring at our printer's invoice for Issue 11 and our bank account – and realizing that we just didn't have enough money in the bank to pay them.
What goes into creating the Winter Celebration (and Box!)
Hi lovely Collective members,
I hope you had a wonderful November so far! I've been leaning heavily into the coziness this fall – lots of evenings snuggled up under my favorite wool blanket on our couch with a candle lit, a soft WIP on my lap, finishing up final seasons of some of our favorite TV shows. (Which, for the most part were disappointing, sigh!)
As busy as this time of the year is, it also feels a little gentler this year than last. I'm not sure what it is - am I better prepared? (Now I probably jinxed it...) Is life with a four year old easier than with a three year old? (Yes, definitely, if you ask me.) Is it just luck? (I'll take it!)
My 3 Favorite Fall Things (Right Now)
Dear lovely Collective members,
as most of you are in the Northern hemisphere as well, I hope that you're enjoying the very October-esque weather that we've been having! It's a bit grey, with the occasional ray of sunshine or splash of rain, the leaves are definitely falling, and I've started to pull out the knitwear.
I decided that for this month's Collective blog post I would do a little roundup of 3 of my favorite fall things! I would also love to hear what you enjoy doing around this time of the year. There are so many great things to do - I sometimes wish I had a few extra days every week to squeeze them all in.
So, without further ado, here it goes:
