How a basket of yarn became a daily ritual

My yarn basket is sacred. It’s one of the few things in our home that my three-year-old instinctively knows not to touch. Nestled beside my rocking chair, it holds a soft chaos of fingering-weight yarn destined for a cozy memories blanket, and a quiet, waiting stack of worsted merino — patient as ever — dreaming of becoming a sweater. It’s always within arm’s reach, ready for those quiet pockets of time when the house finally stills, my mind softens, and my hands remember what to do. Back during the pandemic, I returned to fibre crafts as a way to cope — and my love of knitting quickly deepened. When we moved back to our family home on the Croatian coast — and our family grew — carving out a “corner of peace for Mummy” became a quiet necessity. The first step was converting an old piece of furniture into a home for my yarn and needles. I added my knitting books, a lamp, and spent what felt like forever searching for the right chair.

Welcome to Knitpurlfect!

Hi there, and welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’ve stumbled upon this blog by happy accident or followed a strand of yarn from one of my patterns, it means a lot that you’ve stopped by. I’m Eleanor: a tea-loving, sock-knitting geek living on the Croatian coast.

The Ritual of the First Stitch - On Knitting, Life, and the Promise of Beginnings

Even the most intricate shawl—a tapestry of lace, color, and countless tiny stitches—begins with a single cast-on. That first stitch is quiet, unassuming, almost invisible in the grand design, yet it holds within its thread the promise of everything to come. Every chapter in life begins with that single, intentional act. That first step is quiet, unassuming, almost invisible in the grand design, yet it holds within its footprint the promise of everything to come. Preceding this first stitch is an intentional ritual. Choose the pattern, squish the yarn, wind the skein, pick up the needles, find your knitting spot, put on comfy clothes, grab a warm drink, cue a TV show or audiobook, breathe, exhale, and begin. Some knitters follow every step; others dive straight in. Some pause, some rush. However it looks, this ritual carries intention, and in that intention lives the weight and expectancy of the first stitch. Preceding this first step is an intentional ritual. Get up, have a drink, get...
