Inspired by the quiet energy of crystals, Soothing Stitches: Knits for a Quiet Mind contains 12 knitting patterns that encourage you to slow down. The collection, featuring both garments and accessories, explores simple yet beautiful constructions and stitch patterns, keeping your hands busy while your mind finds stillness. Woven among the pages are gentle words that echo the rhythm of knitting — poetic reflections and a touch of mindful meditation.
Pick up your needles, take a deep breath, and cast on.

These are beautiful needles, lovely to hold and use for Sashiko stitching. Beautifully packaged too with a little note inside about how they are made.
Lovely thread which is perfect for the job it was bought for, namely Sashiko stitching. This was my first time doing this sort of stitching and I found this thread perfect…it gives a really lovely finish. Can be used as a single thread or doubled up.
Thank you Grace! A lovely item to look at and an item that will be well used!!!
