NEW: Knit Night Date for February!
Join us on February 15, 8pm CET, for our second Virtual Knit Night of the year!
We'll be joined by the wonderful Jule from woollentwineas a special guest. I'll interview her about her journey as a natural dyer and yarn maker, and then the floor is open to you for any questions!
All knit nights are virtual, and won't be recorded. I'll send around an email with the video link a couple days beforehand!
Ready for our Top 3 Blog Posts from 2022?
Hi lovely Collective members,
I'm back with a brand-new post for you, and this time we're looking at one of my old loves: DATA. Yup, not sure if you knew that about me, but I love data. I don't have nearly enough time to dig into it these days, but every once in a while I can't resist to run a few reports to see which yarns sell really well or which blog posts you loved reading.
The latter inspired this post: I got curious and went into Google Analytics to see which of our blog posts got the most traffic last year. Do you want to take a guess?
Let's Take Issue 9 to the Printer!
Hello lovelies,
welcome to the first Collective blog post of 2023! And we're starting the year off with something I'm so excited about: Our first Collective-exclusive video!
Join me for a super early excursion to Königsdruck Berlin, our new printer, and a walkthrough of the printing process! Plus, exclusive insights into why we switched printers and why I'm so incredibly excited about our new paper.
How I learned to love knitting colorwork
Hi lovelies! Today, I'm so excited to share my favorite way to knit colorwork with you. It was such a game changer - it brought me from shying away from any type of colorwork to thoroughly enjoying making anything and everything that has more than one color.
Back in 2021, we published a gorgeous colorwork scarf in Issue 6: Ayano Tanaka's Growing Ivy pattern.
