If you are ready to say YES to stress relief, self-care and creating a knitting practice that centers you - you’re in the right place.
Hey, I’m Nadine. A mom, wife and happy knitter. For over 15 years as a mom I have been trying to figure out how to feel enough. To rest without guilt and to truly believe that I am doing good enough. I tried to find fulfillment by chasing perfection on every level, only to realize that it’s an impossible standard to live by and the sure way to mama burn out and unhappiness.
I finally realized that if I wanted to feel enough and rest without feeling guilty, I needed to focus on progress, not perfection. I needed to understand that caring for MYSELF first is the ticket to be the best mama and wife I can be.
I created some simple routines with natural health solutions and picked up the most cozy and relaxing rituals that made me feel whole and happy. And I am here to share them with you so you can do the same.
If you’re ready to finally take control of your stress, learn to use simple natural self care tools, relax and recharge in a way that YOU love and sleep better, this podcast is for you!
Take a deep breath and whip out those knitting needles - it’s time to ditch the mom-stress and live life on your terms!

#103 // Summer Throwback: Starting Knitting Again After Years Away? Here’s What I’d Do Differently
Welcome to our last Summer Throwback episode of Knit Your Stress Away— it’s been a cozy revisit to some of our most-loved episodes from the archives.
Today we’re going back to a personal favorite where I share what it was like to pick up my knitting needles again after two decades away. Spoiler: it wasn’t as easy as riding a bike. 😅
If you’re a beginner—or someone returning to knitting after a long break—this one’s for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest mistakes I made, the lessons I learned the hard way, and all the things I wish someone had told me when I started again.
What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why perfection isn’t the goal—and what to focus on instead
✔️ The best beginner-friendly yarn and needle recs
✔️ How to decode those confusing abbreviations and pattern lingo
✔️ What to do when you make a mistake (because you will, and that’s okay!)
✔️ How learning alongside others makes the process way more fun and way less overwhelming
✨ Whether you’re brand new or simply need a confidence boost, this episode is here to remind you: you can do this, and it doesn’t have to be complicated.
