After a conversation between team members and a closer look at the world around us, we realised we were witnessing thousands of beginning knitters discover the craft for the very first time.

Then, another surprise appeared.

A guest post from iconic heritage knitwear and yarn brand Icewear.

In this post, I share 5 of my favourite online places to get inspired and most importantly access knitting patterns all year round. Please feel free to share these with any of your knitting, crocheting or general crafty friends, 'gate keeping' is out and 'gate breaking' is in.

Somehow or another I became aware of an incredible cardigan being worn by Timothée Chalamet on the Venice Film Festival red carpet. It looked at least partially crocheted but certainly made of yarn.
