Dear knitting friends,
Autumn is here – and so is the season, which is made for cozy knitting hours! While many of us don’t put the knitting needles out of our hands all year round, knitting feels especially beautiful right now, at the beginning of autumn, right?
For all those who may have neglected their knitting projects a little during the summer months: Now is the perfect moment to get started again! Maybe one or the other of you needs a little push to really immerse yourself in the world of wool again – and that’s totally fine!
That’s why we thought about how to make the entry into the new knitting season as cozy and beautiful as possible. In doing so, we have come to the conclusion that small knitting rituals can make a real difference! These little moments that make knitting not only a creative activity, but a true feel-good experience, we want to share with you today.
A cuddle for the knitting season
How about a cozy knitting corner? A comfortable armchair, a soft ceiling and a few pillows – you have your perfect place to make yourself comfortable with your knitting projects. A small conscious moment in your feel-good corner helps to leave the everyday life behind you and to relax on your knitting evening.
Tea, candles and the right mood
Mood is everything! Imagine: it gets dark outside, maybe it rains easily, and you make it really comfortable inside. You grab a cup of tea or coffee and light a few candles. In addition, a relaxed playlist in the background, and the knitting evening becomes a real feel-good moment that you can always look forward to.
A knitting diary for more personality
You may remember: In an earlier blog post, we introduced you to the idea of a knitting diary. If you haven’t started yet, now may be the right time to get back in after a knitted-down summer. A knitting diary can become a great little ritual – you can record your progress, write down ideas or patterns and always have a nice overview of everything you have already achieved.
So why not just try it out?
The autumnal nature as a source of motivation
Autumn is a real color explosion – and that’s exactly what you can incorporate into your knitting projects! Earth tones, warm shades of red and orange or gentle shades of beige and brown reflect nature in this season. Let yourself be inspired by the colors of the leaves and the autumnal mood and use them as motivation to knit something new.
But enough talked or written – we don’t want to keep you on torture! With us in the shop there are some great novelties, and we are very happy to show you our latest autumn knitting kits. Maybe it’s your next favorite project?
Start today with Life in the Long Grass – or LITLG for short. Maybe you already know this great wool company through us. If not, you should definitely find out more about the hand-dyed wool from Ireland! Their yarns are known for their high-quality materials and beautiful, nature-inspired colors. Some time ago we wrote a separate article with all the important information about LITLG – so if you want to delve deeper into the world of this unique wool, make sure to visit!

The hand-dyed yarns and creative designs make the magazine a perfect companion for the cold months. In line with this, we have also upgraded the “Singles” in many new and old colors.
LITLG I The Undertow Triangle Shawl
A beautiful shawl, for which we had our own wool dyed. It is knitted double-threaded with two different yarns, including the brand new HUSK. This yarn, spun in a 100-year-old wool spinning mill in Donegal, consists of a luxurious mixture of merino wool, silk and cashmere. The colours and structures are inspired by Donegal’s breathtaking landscape – from untouched coasts to wild undergrowth and characteristic mountains.
LITLG I Muir Shawl
The Muir Shawl is the perfect autumn accessory. With hand-dyed yarns in warm tones, it only exudes coziness. The shawl is ideal for snuggling in on cool autumn days – simply a great companion for the colder season.
The next step is a scarf that not only warms, but is also a sign of solidarity.
The Lana Grossa I A scarf for life 2024 is more than just a knitting project – it is a real heart project. With this knitting kit you can not only create a beautiful, cuddly accessory for the cold days, but also do something good. Pro Schal gehen 10,- € als Spende an Save the Children!

With the start of the autumn, of course, the classic Norwegian sweaters should not be missing. From Sandnes Garn there is again a great selection of modern, newly interpreted models that fit perfectly into the cooler season. Whether traditional patterns or fresh designs – here you will find the right project for your cozy knitting corner.
