Knit Bliss: A Peaceful Year of Patterns (With Yarn & Needle Guide)

(With Yarn & Needle Guide)

Twelve Patterns. One Beautiful Year.

If you’ve just come out of the Eternity Shawl Experience – or watched it from the sidelines and thought, I’d love something a little smaller – you’re in the right place.

Knit Bliss is our curated collection of small-to-medium/large (but not as large as the shawl) projects designed to bring peace, rhythm, and joy to your knitting year. One pattern for each month. No pressure. No deadlines. Just a gentle invitation to pick up your needles and create something beautiful, one project at a time.
