The Art of the Sea

This beautiful book brings Tove Jansson’s philosophy to life through knitting: the courage to be yourself, the joy of companionship, and the quiet beauty of nature’s rhythms.

With designs inspired by the world of the Moomins and the spirit of the northern sea, The Art of the Sea is a celebration of courage, freedom, belonging—and, of course, knitting.

Baa Ram Ewe Linseed Lace

Light, drapey, rustic, and a gorgeous colour palette.

Linseed is a beautiful plant-based blend of linen and cotton slub, creating a yarn with lovely texture and effortless drape.

And those colours? We’re already plotting projects.

Come squish the skeins and see which one speaks to you!

FINISHED OBJECT!

This striped tee was my project for the Claudia Quintanilla KAL back in July, knit with Noro Sonata in Stone and Deep Sea. I finished it almost a month ago… but today was finally the day it made its debut!

Apparently, finishing a project and actually wearing it are two completely separate accomplishments.

I’m loving the stripes — definitely worth the wait!

Now to figure out how many times I can wear it before the weather decides it’s sweater season.

HAPPY GRANNY SQUARE DAY!

Okay, okay… we know. These aren’t technically granny squares. They’re granny hexagons.

But today is about celebrating all things granny, so we’re going with it!

We’re turning those adorable little hexagons into STOCKINGS for our upcoming Crochet-Along!

Yep. Granny hexagons. Christmas stockings. You’re welcome.

📅 MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Saturday, November 21
Saturday, December 5
⏰ 9:30–11:00 AM

We’ll be sharing ALL the details soon, including yarn requirements and how to join the CAL.

Until then, grab your hook and start practising those granny stitches.



These little beauties are getting a proper blocking session today, and we’re pretty sure they’re going to look even better once they’ve had a chance to straighten themselves out.

Happy Granny Square Day!
And yes, we know they’re hexagons. We’ve accepted it.

Keep an eye out for more details on our upcoming Granny Hexagon Stocking Crochet-Along. It’s going to be a good one!

Here’s a reminder that we sell yarn.

Lots of it.

Soft yarn. Squishy yarn. Woolly yarn. Sparkly yarn. Sock yarn. Sweater yarn. “I definitely don’t need another skein” yarn. (Yes, you do.)

Need needles? We’ve got those too.
Patterns? Yep.
Notions? Absolutely.
Enabling? That’s complimentary. 😉

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to cast on something new… this is it.

Come squish some yarn with us! ❤️

If you aren’t matching your coworker… what are you even doing?

Whether it’s coordinating sweaters, matching socks, or accidentally buying the same yarn (again), fibre friends just seem to be on the same wavelength.

Happy International Day of Friendship!
