SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ME!

Ever wondered what the secret to a beautifully knitted linen piece is? Join me, Mel, and let’s venture together into the captivating world of linen, unveiling its historical richness, strength, versatility, and how it lends itself to knitting. We'll dissect its journey from the flax plant origins to your knitting needles, offering practical advice on care, winding, and usage. We'll also draw parallels to other fibers, particularly bamboo, and cotton, highlighting distinctive differences and similarities.

As we navigate the intricacies of knitting with linen, we'll delve into the importance of safeguarding your hands and maintaining their health. From mitigating the twisty nature of the stitches to understanding the energy they carry, this episode is full of useful and actionable insights. You'll learn about the necessity of swatching and the impact of stretching and washing on different yarns. It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, the tips and encouragement can help!

But it's not just about the knitting. We'll also explore how your words and thoughts shape your creative spirit, becoming personal rocks that can either hinder or enable your growth. Drawing on my experience and the shared frustrations of fellow knitters, we'll discuss how these challenges can be channeled into becoming our best creative selves. So, if you're a thoughtfully creative spirit or yearn to grow in that direction, this episode could just be the catalyst you need. Join us, and let’s knit and grow together!
