🧶  APRIL 2026 Stockinette Frame Square 💛  Welcome to April In March, you learned how to follow a pattern. In April, you begin to understand your fabric. This month introduces  stockinette stitch  — one of the most common and recognisable knitting textures. By working knit stitches on one side and purl stitches on the other, you will begin to see a smooth, even surface form. You may also notice your fabric trying to curl. This is a natural behaviour of stockinette stitch and part of understanding how knitted fabric works. Take your time. Observe your stitches. This is where control begins. 🌿  What You’ll Learn • The difference between right side and wrong side • How stockinette stitch is formed • How to alternate knit and purl rows • How fabric behaves and responds • How to maintain smoother, more even stitches 🪡  Materials • Medium weight (worsted) yarn • 4 mm knitting needles • Tapestry needle • Scissors 📏  Finished Size Approx. 18–20 cm square (...

  Welcome to March! February strengthened your coordination. March strengthens your understanding. This month, we are building texture using only knit and purl stitches. No new tools. No complicated techniques. Just thoughtful placement. You are no longer just making stitches — you are learning how patterns are formed. This square is the first official piece in your 2026 Blanket Journey. Keep it safe. Every square from now on will follow the same structure, and at the end of the year, they will come together into something bigger. Take your time. Watch the texture form. Trust the process. 🌿 What You’ll Learn • How stitch placement creates texture • How to follow a repeating pattern • How to count rows accurately • How to recognise knit and purl sections visually • How to knit a structured square 🪡 Materials • Medium weight (worsted) yarn • 4 mm knitting needles • Tapestry needle • Scissors If you haven’t already joined us in January and February, you can still signup and we’ll gi...

If January felt slow or unfinished, this project is your fresh start. February’s Project is designed to be small, wearable and confidence-building - something you can complete without pressure, and actually use. This month we are learning the Purl Stitch and how it works with the Knit Stitch to create Ribbing . Ribbed fabric is stretchy, forgiving, and perfect for beginners who are still finding their rhythm. Ribbing stretches - so does confidence! Your February Project is a twisted ribbed headband - a simple accessory that looks polished but is built from just two stitches.  There’s no rush to finish; the goal is to get comfortable switching between Knit and Purl and to enjoy watching the fabric come to life in your hands.  If your stitches aren’t perfect, that’s okay. Ribbing is kind. It stretches, it relaxes, and it improves as you go. By the end of this project you’ll have a finished headband and a new skill that opens the door to many more patterns ahead! To join Regist...

  The wedding season is creeping up on us with all its glamour. It’s only fitting that one should have a unique wedding with unique gifts. Our featured bride in this month’s box is Fatimah who tied the knot with Mohammad on the 27th. We had favour packs for the Mothers’ in attendance as well as for the Bride’s maids. Each pack spoke to the uniqueness of its recipient and we topped it all with extras - candy and confectionery to tickle guests’ sweet tooth.  The pack for mothers contained our iconic Moisture Lip Balm, branded kitchen towel and match box; while the bridal packs carried a face towel, scented votive candle and the Moisture Lip balm. Items were customised to fit the wedding theme, and the bridal packages took it a step further by adding the names of each recipient to give it that special touch.  What do you have planned for an occasion, let’s give you ideas that fit both your theme and pocket.  Wishing you Fatimah a happy, blessed marriage filled with love...
