The joy of making things is a deep, nurturing kind of happiness. That escape into a world of texture, rhythm, and colour, even for just a few moments in the middle of a busy day. The satisfaction of learning a new skill and a new way to bring beauty into the world. The pleasure of sharing what you’ve made with others who are every bit as smitten as you.

I’m Helen Stewart, and I created Curious Handmade for passionate makers around the world. With a weekly podcast, timeless knitting patterns, helpful resources and a thriving community, Curious Handmade is a place to revel in the wonder of making things by hand.
