Sabino Canyon contains six beautifully curated designs, slow released one by one on the new moon. This will give you the space to take your time, to set intentions, and to give each design the love and attention you desire.

Sometimes as knitters, we get stuck in a creativity box. We get comfortable with what we know best and forget to explore new yarn combinations, different gauges and different colours. Strand is all about breaking out of that precious box and experimenting with something new.

This ebook was created to showcase different types of sweater construction for the Knit Your Wardrobe Summit.

This Must Be The Place is a knitting book containing seven patterns inspired by British Columbia, Canada. It’s a beautiful place that authors Megan Nodecker and Katie-Anne Williams feel deeply connected to, and wanted to share it by creating cozy knits that can be worn wherever you live.

The Saguaro Fingerless Gloves are inspired by a childhood mishap at a nursery in which Gabrielle convinced Caeli to stroke a cactus by telling her “Touch it. It’s soft”, it was not soft.

Ocean Drive are socks that combine two of my loves: art deco architecture and socks with stripes.

The perfect pair of socks for use with a 5-col...

The Nightshade Hat is a close fitting beanie. It uses a large scale lace pattern to create a slightly vintage feel and is a great candidate for a fluffy faux pom pom.

What’s a wishing rock? It’s a smooth stone, often found on rocky beaches and shorelines, that has a single, unbroken band of white around it.
