Welcome to A Box of Twine! I am so glad you are here.
If you’re a knitter or crocheter who values serenity, simplicity, and timeless style, you’re in the right place.
This is a quiet corner of the internet created just for you—the thoughtful, intentional maker who wants to create beautiful things worth your time. You’re not here for fast fashion or fleeting trends. You crave patterns that are simple but elegant, designed in neutral tones, and wearable across seasons and years.
I design knit and crochet patterns for women just like you: calm, creative souls who believe their handmade wardrobe should reflect who they truly are. Around here, you won’t find loud colors or complicated designs for the sake of complexity. What you will find is a collection of soothing, clearly written patterns designed with your lifestyle, taste, and values in mind.
Whether you’re curled up on a quiet morning with coffee and yarn or working slowly through a project in the evening light, I want you to feel serene – and confident that every stitch you make is leading to something truly lasting.
On this blog, you’ll find an ever-growing library of simple, classic designs that fit beautifully into a capsule wardrobe and calm, curated life.
This is slow fashion for the quiet maker.
Why I started this
As a lifelong maker, former homeschooling mom, and quiet homebody at heart, I’ve always found peace in the rhythm of knitting and crochet. But over the years, I struggled to find patterns that truly felt like me—simple, wearable, and quietly beautiful.
So I began designing my own.
This business was born from those quiet mornings with yarn in hand and a desire to create not just clothing, but calm. I wanted to make patterns that wouldn’t just fill drawers, but become part of a meaningful wardrobe—pieces to be worn often, loved well, and made with joy.
My hope is that when you explore these patterns, you’ll feel encouraged and understood. I design every piece with care, keeping in mind the woman who, like me, doesn’t want noise – just something beautiful, lasting, and worth her time.
I do hope you stay a while to find KNIT and CROCHET patterns, plus PRINTABLES you will love. I also enjoy sharing my DIGITAL PRODUCT OFFERINGS and INSPIRATIONAL FAVORITES with you. Hopefully my designs can inspire and give you the sense of calm you crave.
If you’d like to read more about the path that brought me to this blog, feel free to take a look at my blogging journey, which included a pivot to homeschool!
Over the years, this journey has included having my home and projects featured in national magazines such as American Farmhouse Style, Romantic Country, Romantic Homes, Somerset Life, and Artful Blogging. It’s been such fun!
