Laine Publishing Soothing Stitches: Knits for a Quiet Mind

Inspired by the quiet energy of crystals, Soothing Stitches: Knits for a Quiet Mind contains 12 knitting patterns that encourage you to slow down. The collection, featuring both garments and accessories, explores simple yet beautiful constructions and stitch patterns, keeping your hands busy while your mind finds stillness. Woven among the pages are gentle words that echo the rhythm of knitting — poetic reflections and a touch of mindful meditation.

Pick up your needles, take a deep breath, and cast on your next knitting project.
