Hey fellow magic-makers and knitters! In our season finale, we wrapped up with a whimsical dive into the art of charming bind offs, exploring not just the technical side of knitting, but the enchantment it brings to our crafting and the craft itself. From discussing the magic of finishing projects (and the struggle therein) to the innovative spell swatch idea, we covered a myriad of ways knitting weaves into our lives and practices.
We explore several bind off techniques – everything from the basics to the more complex like Jenny's super stretchy bind off and the Kitchener Stitch. Each method opened up new possibilities for our projects, and hopefully, yours too!
We couldn't help but get a little sentimental, reminiscing about the season and the amazing guests we've had. A huge thank you to our listeners and Patreon supporters for being such an integral part of Knit A Spell. Remember, while we take a summer pause, there's a whole catalog of episodes to explore and keep the magic alive!
Looking forward to casting on with you all in the fall for Season 6, where we'll unravel the mysteries of enchanted tools and containers.
Stay magical and keep on knitting!
Katie and Jim---

In this episode, Katie Rempe & James Divine dive into the magical world of embroidery with the supremely talented Christi Johnson, author of 'Mystical Stitches: Embroidery for Personal Empowerment and Magical Embellishment.'
Christi shares her journey from the high-stress world of fashion design to discovering the meditative and creative power of embroidery. She reveals how this craft became a mystical act for her, transforming mere fabric into a canvas of cosmic visions and botanical beauties.

They discuss the symbiotic relationship between crafting and spirituality, and how anyone can infuse their projects with intention and magic, regardless of their skill level.
Christi also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming book, 'The Art of Embroidery Design,' promising even more insights into creating your own embroidery works of art. We also talk about the importance of being present in our crafting, connecting with our materials, and the science behind why crafts like embroidery can lead to a meditative state.

Welcome to Episode 127 of Knit a Spell! This time around, Jim and I unraveled the concept of TINK-ing - that’s knit spelled backwards, for the uninitiated. We delved deep into the philosophical and metaphysical implications of undoing our work, whether it's stitches on a needle or patterns in our lives.
I kicked things off by introducing the concept of TINKing, or undoing our knitting as a metaphor for reflection and reconsideration in our craft and personal lives. We explore common scenarios that prompt knitters to undo their work, from mistakes to aesthetic changes, and Jim had some novice insights that were enlightening.
The episode takes a mystical turn as we considered undoing in the magical realm, including an interesting practice involving crocheting a chain to represent something one wishes to undo. Jim shares how undoing our knitting can parallel releasing or altering intentions or energies in the magical practice, from breaking habits to transforming relationships.
How would you use the act of un-knitting as a magical act?

We dive into the topic of gnomes and why knitting them are so satisfying with our special guest, designer and podcast host of Imagined Landscapes: Sarah Schira! Katie and Jim talk with Sarah about how knitting entered her life during a much-needed time and how gnomes found their way into being her most beloved subject matter.
Sarah shares a story about her interaction with what might have been a real-live gnome, and Jim bonds with our guest over their mutual love of gnomes and how Jim found a book on the topic that influenced him forever.
Sarah reflect on how gnomes are a perfect project to learn and improve on knitting skills because they can be more easily seen as play instead of work. This is a wonderfully inspiring episode on how knitting and everything we do can carry intention!
Find out more about our amazing guest Sarah Schira below.

The episode concludes with a reference guide for listeners to download, enabling them to apply the discussed magical correspondences to their knitting projects.

In this episode of Knit A Spell, Katie Rempe and James Divine kick off a new season by delving into the fascinating topic of cord and stitch magic. They catch up on their winter activities before diving into the magical properties of yarn and cord, exploring how the entire process of procuring, carding, spinning, and using yarn can be infused with intention and magic.
They discuss various forms of cord magic, including the significance of knots and the use of cords in rituals like handfasting ceremonies. Katie demonstrates how to create a magical cord by twisting yarn into a skein, emphasizing the intention-setting process during the creation of magical tools like witch's ladders.
James explains how cords are used in candle magic, such as tying cords between candles to symbolize connections between individuals or for cord-cutting rituals to sever negative ties. They also explore how cords are incorporated into magical crafts like creating prosperity pouches and knitting i-cords.
The hosts highlight some of Katie's magical knitting patterns, including the Traveler's Talisman scarf, the Self Love Cowl, and the Moon Cowl, discussing how each pattern incorporates intentional stitch patterns and colors to infuse the finished piece with specific magical properties.

In this episode of "Knit A Spell," host Katie Rempe explores the magic of the color white, while her co-host, Jim, takes the week off. White is a color that elicits a wide range of emotions and associations, from clinical environments to purity and freshness. White is often seen as the absence of color, but in reality, it's a combination of all colors in the visible spectrum, making it a versatile and symbolic hue in magic.
Katie delves into the significance of white in the world of knitting and crafting, discussing its challenges and associations with purity and protection. White fibers like wool and cotton have historical and symbolic significance, and the use of white in making magic can vary depending on personal preferences. She also shares insights on the use of white in branding and music, inviting listeners to appreciate the many forms of white in their daily lives.
