We’re Back for Another 30 Years, and with a Patreon!

April 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Knitting-and.com, and almost 25 years since I bought the domain name so I thought it was time to do a bit of tidying up.

Among other things, I’ve done the following to tidy up the website:

I hope you find everything much easier to find, and have a lot more fun looking around!

We’ve changed a lot over the years, and I hope we have many more to come.

Here’s to the next 30 years!

Long Time, No Post!

Hello! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted, but I finally have something new to show you!

Over the past couple of years I’ve been gathering up all of my embroidery and teneriffe lace samplers, samples and any bits and pieces I like and making them all into fabric books so I can look at them without risking damage.

I’ve made seven so far, and made a flip-through video of them all to share with you! I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them!

Contact Form Problems

I realised a couple of days ago that my contact form wasn’t working on mobile, even though it was working fine on desktop.

It should be fixed now but please let me know if you have any problems with it using any of my social media links in the footer.

New Pricing for Books and Patterns

Two printed copies of the Any Yarn, Any Size Knit Hat Book

I have exciting news for anyone who is interested in my patterns and book that I have for sale. I have introduced a new system of pricing for my e-books, which offer a lower price initially, and you can pay whatever you want above that.

My crafting philosophy has always been to use whatever yarn you choose, or repurpose what you have access to. Whether your yarn be luxury hand paint, a nice budget yarn, oddments, or an unraveled jumper from the op shop. (My personal choice is to use other people’s discarded materials from the op-shop or recycle yard). Since my patterns are written to reflect this, I decided my pricing should too.

Check out my Payhip shop for the new much lower minimum prices, or pay whatever you choose to help support Knitting-and.com
