Life gets busy. Knitting helps.
Knitting Inspiration for Busy People Who Love to Knit
If life feels busy and your knitting doesn't always get the time you'd like it to, you're in the right place.
Discover knitting patterns, inspiration and articles celebrating the joy of knitting and why it's about so much more than what we make.
Why Knitting Matters
Many knitters don't knit because we need another scarf, shawl or pair of socks. We knit because, somewhere between casting on and casting off, life feels a little different. Our hands are busy, our minds get a chance to slow down and, for a while, the outside world fades into the background.
That's certainly true for me. My weekdays are full and my work can be demanding, so knitting has become one of the ways I pause, recharge and reconnect with my creative side. It's time I never regret making.
That's why I created Nourish Nurture Knit. It's a place to discover knitting patterns, inspiration and ideas that celebrate everything knitting can bring to our lives, not just the finished project.
If you've ever felt better after picking up your needles, you're in good company here.

The Next Chapter Is On Its Way
A membership for knitters who want more than just finished projects.
I'm creating a new online home for knitters who believe knitting is about more than finished projects. It's still taking shape, but if you'd like to be among the first to hear when it's ready, I'd love you to join the waitlist. I'll share behind-the-scenes updates, early access and everything you need to know when the time comes.
No pressure. No commitment. Just an invitation to come along for the journey.
Because knitting is more than just making...
Meet Clare
Hi, I’m Clare,
Knitting pattern designer and the founder of Nourish Nurture Knit.
For most of the week I work in the world of workplace mental health, but whenever I can, you'll usually find me designing knitting patterns or working on my next cast-on.
Like many knitters, life can get busy.
My days are full, my brain is often full too, and knitting has become the hobby I keep coming back to. It helps me slow my thoughts down, switch off from work and spend time creating something just because I enjoy it.
I'm happiest with knitting needles in my hands, a cup of herbal tea nearby and a project growing one stitch at a time.
