ABOUT US
OH HEY!
I'm Sam! The maker, creator and chief operator behind That Crafty Stitch. I launched my business baby after re-learning how to knit (post taking a brief 20 year hiatus) and realising there was a gap in the market for beginner focussed knitting kits, patterns and tutorials. I re-connected with knitting during a time when I struggled with my mental health and the therapeutic rhythm of knitting helped me to focus on what I was doing with my hands instead of worrying about things outside of my control going on in my head. My mission is to spark creativity and share the joy of knitting with as many people as possible.

My business baby was founded in October 2020 and was created to help people like you discover a new type of mindfulness, one that can go wherever you go. I am on a mission to share the joy and benefits of being creative through my kits, tutorials and craft supplies. My beginner led kits walk you through stitch by stitch, so you don’t need to worry about unravelling in the process.
Having learnt first hand, I know the relief and positive impact that creativity can have on our mental health. I hope that through sharing a love of crafting I can help people improve their mental health by tapping into their creativity, discovering their favourite crafts and going onto share this information with others.

It's been proven that rhythmic crafts such as knitting, crochet, macrame, weaving and so many more help to release serotonin through the neuro transmitters in our brains. Known as ‘the feel good’ hormone. Wow! Not only that but when you get asked in the street “where did you get your (insert totally incredible hand made product here)” you get the ultimate satisfaction of saying “I MADE IT!” what an absolute flex!
