The Mini Boxy Tote is back, and this time it's staying. 🎉
Our Boxy Tote's little sibling first made an appearance last year as part of our Westknits x Thread & Maple collection, but now it's part of our permanent collection -- and in four colors, no less!
At about 25% smaller than the original Boxy Tote, the Mini Boxy offers all the organization and structure you already love, just with a smaller footprint. It's crafted from our signature Crazy Horse leather, with wide shoulder straps, two exterior pockets, three interior pockets, and an unlined interior that shows off the most satisfying velvety underside. Maybe the best part? It stands upright on its own -- whether open or snapped closed.
Now available on our website! No rush, but also: four colors. 🥰
No more mystery needles! 👀 You know the one -- that needle whose size has rubbed off, or the one that whose markings are so tiny that you end up squinting and considering reading glasses.( Yeah, we've been there.)
Our Needle Size Markers clip right onto the pockets of your Needle Binder, Crochet Binder, or Binder Pages, so the size is always exactly where you need it to be-- no guessing, no hunting, no "...I think this is a 4mm?"
Back in stock in Whiskey and Chocolate, in three sizes. Your future self, mid-project, will thank you.
Who doesn't love a glow up?🌟 Three years of projects will do a lot to a Needle Binder. Mariah's was (over)due for a little TLC -- and our Leather Care Kit delivered.
Current status: emotionally attached to a bag. 🧶✨
The @threadandmaple Mini Boxy Tote has officially entered its main character era and honestly… same. The embossed Aurora Cabin details? The structured little boxy shape? The “make it grand” energy? Immediate serotonin.
Now accepting applications for which #wip gets to live in here first. ❣️💚

Meet Andrea Lui, PT, DPT -- the physical therapist who saw knitters being told to either push through the pain or stop crafting altogether, and decided there had to be a better answer. 🧶
As @TheKnittingPT , Andrea brings her clinical expertise directly to the maker community, with movement tips, self-care tools, and a philosophy built around one simple idea: you shouldn't have to choose between your body and your craft. She's taken that mission one step further with her new book, Craft Without Pain: Injury Prevention and Self-Care for Knitters and Other Makers -- available for preorder now wherever books are sold.
We asked her where it all began. 👇
❓️ You’re a practicing physical therapist and a passionate knitter -- was there a specific moment (in clinic or at your own needles) that sparked The Knitting PT, and what did you most want makers to feel or understand from day one?
"The online community was the initial spark. I saw knitters posting online that they were experiencing pain in their arms or numbness in their hands, and asking for advice. Much of the advice given was horrifically incorrect, ranging from "power through it" to "stop knitting". I believe in finding a middle ground with my patients - still doing what you love but with modifications as your body heals."
There's so much more from Andrea coming your way -- including the habit shift she says helps almost everyone right away. In the meantime, you can explore her tutorials, courses, and consults at ptandrea.com. 🌿
Mother's Day is this Sunday, and we're making it easy to find something made for the way she makes.

Another Maryland Sheep & Wool in the books. 🐑
In between the busy moments, we may have snuck next door to say hello to some actual sheep (and one doggo) We made some wonderful human friends too -- and left feeling full in that specific way that only a weekend surrounded by makers can manage.
Now we're home, show purchases in hand, and very much channeling some "stay home and make" vibes.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, showed us your binders and bags, or just smiled across a crowded aisle. It meant more than you know. See you next year. 💚
