Knitted Lives: Sharing the Stories Behind the Stitches

Starting 4 January 2023, the Framework Knitters Museum is partnering with the Knitted Lives project to collect and celebrate stories about knitters and knitting from across the community.

Whether you learnt to knit from your grandma, pass the time with your needles in waiting rooms, or create blankets for those in need—Knitted Lives wants to hear from you. Perhaps you’ve never picked up a pair of needles but have fond memories of someone who did. From perfectly formed patterns to yarn-based misadventures, all knitting stories are welcome—be they woolly wonders or woolly disasters.

Each month, the Knitted Lives team will post a new prompt on Instagram to inspire your story. All you need to do is share your tale using the hashtag #myknittedlife so others can find, like, and share your post.

Follow @knitted.lives on Instagram to keep up with monthly prompts, read stories from fellow contributors, and join this growing creative community. Invite friends, family, and fellow knitters—because the more stories we gather, the richer the tapestry.
