Emily Knits
Introducing the Wild Deep Winter MAL in collaboration with Wild Purl Yarns!
updated
I’m a serial test knitter, sample knitter, and proud caster-onner. Right now I’m focusing on stash-busting and finding creative ways to work with the yarn I already have, while (hopefully!) finishing more projects.
In this episode I’m catching you up on what I’ve been working on since my last podcast — lots of autumnal knitting projects, plus my very first Stephen West MKAL! I’m sharing my honest first impressions of this hugely popular mystery knit-along, as well as chatting about upcoming plans, including some travel. 🧶🍂
I’d love to hear from you too — are you joining the MKAL this year, or what autumn projects are on your needles? Share in the comments below! 💕

In this video I’m taking you along with me to Yarndale 2025!

Learning to knit comes with plenty of ups and downs, and in this video I’m sharing the most common beginner knitting mistakes (or at least the ones I made!), plus a few tips I think you can happily ignore. If you’re just starting out, don’t worry: mistakes are part of the process, and they’re often the best way to learn.
Whether you’re casting on your very first project or getting back into knitting after a break, I hope these insights help you feel more confident and relaxed with your knitting journey. I’d love to hear from you too — drop your funniest knitting mishaps or beginner mistakes in the comments so we can all learn (and laugh) together! 💕

Hooks & Needles provide a subscription box service for either crochet, knitting, or amigurumi, aimed at either beginners to the craft or people wanting to improve their skills. They provide everything in the box that you need to complete all of the projects listed in the pattern book (although not enough to complete one of each!), and you get all this at a great discount compared to what you'd pay buying it separately.
One of the things I love about Hooks & Needles is that no matter when you start your subscription, you start at the beginning - so you could gift this to a loved one or family member knowing that they'll get the basics taught first, before ramping up to more complex skills, and they won't be out of their depth!
Watch on to see my honest thoughts, what I liked, what I thought could do with some improvement and my overall opinions.
🧶 Ready to join the fun? Subscribe to any Hooks & Needles plan and use my code Emily20 to get 20% OFF your first order!
Standard Subscription Box Includes:
2–3 Skeins of Premium Yarn
Exclusive Patterns & Expert Tips
High-Quality Tools
Step-by-Step Video Tutorials

This week I’m back with a bonus video following on from my cardigan pattern round up video which you can find here - youtu.be/RhKgdhQG_N8?si=4I1-HlUTBv2KcCPx
These 8 bonus patterns are all either intended to be knit in plant based/summer appropriate yarns or could be easily adapted for that, and would be great for spring/summer knitting.
