Politics, economy, the climate, society and your personal life. There’s plenty to worry about. To give up. To want to take shelter on the couch with a blanket and a hot cup of tea. Naturally!

But hey, the only way to get to the other side is through. Persist. Life can throw you a curve ball, but you can take action! Speak out, volunteer, help others, buy less clothing and if you do buy sustainable. And be a little kind to yourself. Because with a cup of tea and some knitting on the couch you can completely relax. And then boldly go ahead. Nevertheless she persisted!

This airy and warm cowl will keep you warm during a protest, but also in a nice winter sun in the park or on a terrace. Knit your left-over skeins from other projects and it counts as decluttering! That’s multitasking in a healthy way ;)

I recommend you take a deep dive in your stash and find some skeins you love! I wanted to make an airy shawl so I chose airy yarns like mohair.
