Hi, I'm Helen Stewart
I’m a knitwear designer and the host of the Curious Handmade Knitting podcast. Around this time every year, we knitters start to think about what to make the most knit-worthy people in our lives. It’s gift knitting season!
Knitters have generous hearts, but while you’re planning what you’re going to make for your friends and family, don’t forget that you deserve presents too.
If you’ve ever swooned over the gorgeous yarn advent calendars you’ve seen on social media but paused at the cost, this free guide is for you.
You can learn to make your own at home, to use with scrappy patterns, and surprise yourself a little bit every day.
Join the Curious Crew of
knitters who love to learn
Most knitting happens in solitary, quiet moments, but there’s so much joy to be found in sharing your process and projects with other like-minded makers! You’ll discover daily encouragement, advice, and praise from the sweetest group of knitters I’ve ever met: the Curious Crew. We have a gentle, encouraging newsletter, regular knitalong events, a bunch of busy Instagram hashtags, and our own Ravelry group where you can ask questions, show off your work-in-progress and finished shawls, and make some lifelong knitting friends.
