Organize Your Tools for a More Creative Space

Image
Spring cleaning is one of the best feelings of the year. Whether you are coming out of a long, cold winter or a scorching summer, the in-between seasons of autumn and spring often feel like the perfect time to refresh our spaces and get organized. It is a chance to tidy up our tools, take stock of our supplies, and make space for future projects. We thought it would be helpful to share some of our favourite ways to keep tools organized, easy to find, and ready for use. But remember, there is no single perfect way to organize a craft space. The best system is simply the one that helps you find what you need when you need it,  allowing you to sit down and create when inspiration hits.

Also, you will find a downloadable PDF at the end of this post, so you can record your tools and stash for quick reference. Throughout the y...

Secret Stash Club Knitting: Spring Mug Cozy

Image
There’s something especially satisfying about colourwork in soft pastels and wool, it feels playful and soothing all at once. For our April Secret Stash Club sample, we leaned into gentle, airy shades that bring a fresh spring mood while still giving the motifs enough contrast to stand out clearly. Below, we’re sharing how Charlotte paired this Peruvian wool base with a cozy, practical project and how she chose the mini-skein palette to make the colourwork sing. THE SPRING MIX COLOUR STORY For our April Secret Stash Club, we wanted to create a set of mini-skeins in a palette that would evoke the light, delicate colours of spring. The early crocus, lilacs, bluebells, and lily of the valley flowers that add a touch of colour to those early spring gardens. These colourways were then hand-dyed on a special yarn base: 100% Peruvian Fine wool.
