A Knitted Sock, a Fairy Tale, and a Spell...

Sometimes, when the needles click together in rhythm, it feels less like knitting and more like opening a meditation or even a tiny journey into a magical realm of a fairy tale forest. Each stitch is a stepping stone, each row a winding forest path, and somewhere between the sock heel and toe begins to form as the magic stirs.

Moments like that imbued our recent Magical Fiber Work Journey. The clip below shares a glimpse of one of those in-between moments when the Forest Gates Sock Knitting journey began becoming more than a pattern and more of a personal blessing spell for warmth, patience, healing, renewal...

This is a glimpse of the Forest Socks Knitting Journey, where we wove together the realms of fairy tale, intention, and warm handcrafting. While the live gathering has passed, the path is still open through the replays. Many have shared that rewatching feels like sitting in the circle again, needles in hand, listening for the whispers of the forest and remembering the stories older than old. Jump in if the realm where fairy tales meet fiber threads calls you. The replays will be up only until the end of this month. Here is the link that will take you to the YouTube playlist with all of the journey video replays LINK

Mini Fiber Witch Spell: The Sock Blessing

1. Hold the yarn you are knitting with.

2. Take one slow breath in, whispering or silently thinking: “I knit in peace and love.”

3. Exhale, and whisper or silently think: “I walk with joy and magic.”

4. Let the blessing flow into your next row of stitches.

5. Feel the garment you are knitting imbued with your blessings.

The Forest Socks replay is waiting if you’d like to walk that enchanted path again or perhaps for the first time. Soon, another journey will be announced. Until then, may your needles be light, your yarn soft, and your heart open to the stories hidden in every stitch.

Remember to share your own knitting spells and magical sock stories in the comments or in our members' group chat.

See you soon, where fairy tales meet fiber threads!
