I'm Changing the Way I Knit this Year

Get started today! https://skl.sh/rosemarypinesfiberarts01261 In this video, I’m sharing my knitting goals and intentions for 2026 and how I’m planning a calmer, more intentional knitting year. Instead of starting countless projects, my focus for 2026 is on fewer WIPs, more joy, and a handmade wardrobe I actually wear. I talk about the knitting patterns and designers I want to try, the yarns I want to use (including handdyed and handspun yarn), and the skills I’d love to learn next. You’ll also hear about my January wardrobe reset, where I go through my entire wardrobe to see what I truly wear, what I love, and where there are gaps I can fill by knitting my own garments. If I find pieces I don’t wear, I plan to reclaim the yarn or pass them on — as part of a more sustainable and mindful approach to knitting. ✨ Join my Skool community: The Handmade Wardrobe Circle Inside the community, we’re doing the January wardrobe reset together as a monthly quest, alongside discussions about knitting, natural dyeing, slow fashion, and creating a wardrobe made by hand. https://www.skool.com/the-handmade-wardrobe-circle/about In addition, I share my goals for learning new techniques in 2026, including double knitting, steeking, and crocheting a sweater, as well as why I’m aiming to keep only one main knitting project and one smaller project at a time.
