As the first snow falls (for some of us!) and November settles in, Anne and Steph invite you into their living room for a cozy chat about knitting, bread-baking, bulbs, and upcoming make-alongs.
They talk about:
Preparing for winter – the coziness of early snow, soup, and candles
The Mountain...
As the first snow falls (for some of us!) and November settles in, Anne and Steph invite you into their living room for a cozy chat about knitting, bread-baking, bulbs, and upcoming make-alongs.
They talk about:
-
Preparing for winter – the coziness of early snow, soup, and candles
-
The Mountain Journey community projects: Doll Make-Along, Bread Basket, and Pot Holder patterns
-
Felting tips and how to make your knitted bread basket stand firm
-
The “Winter Solstice Challenge” – planting bulbs and knitting pot covers
-
Ideas for the Christmas Stocking Knit Along and the joy of slow festive knitting
-
Upcoming patterns and seasonal projects: acorns, pumpkins, angels, trees and stars
-
How small handmade traditions bring calm and connection during the busiest time of year
Anne also shares a little Norwegian perspective on bulbs (“flower onions” in Norwegian!) and the history behind the word for Christmas – Jul – and how old traditions still live on in modern Norway.
Join the Mountain Journey community to knit along with us this season – and receive the Tree Festival Pattern Collection as a bonus when you join in November or December.
