About the newsletter: Knitting with the Cosmos

Welcome to my corner of the fiber universe! I’m a passionate (obsessed!) knitter and astrologer, blending the art of knitting with the wisdom of the stars. My journey with fiber arts isn’t just about stitches and patterns. It’s about storytelling, healing, and cosmic connection. 

As a lifelong student of astrology and practicing reader, I love exploring how celestial influences shape creativity, craft, and community. With asteroid Minerva at 25° Pisces in my 6th house, I see knitting as both a craft and a sacred act of skill, patience, and problem-solving. My Pallas Athena in Libra (conjunct Saturn in the 1st house) gives me a precise and balanced approach to design, while asteroid Arachne in Leo (11th house) fuels my passion for creative mastery and community engagement.

Knitting is also a journey of exploration for me—thanks to the asteroid Industria in Gemini (9th house), I’m drawn to learning the history, techniques, and cultural influences behind fiber arts. With Isis in Sagittarius (3rd house), I believe knitting is a form of storytelling, weaving past and present together. And like Penelope in Cancer (10th house), I embrace the patience of reworking projects, creating meaningful heirlooms, and honoring knitting’s place in history.

I’m dedicated to teaching and sharing the craft. I offer both in-person and online knitting instruction, and my website, AstraKnots.com, hosts a large library of free how-to knitting videos. As a knitting coach for KnitChats and a volunteer instructor for Project Knitwell, I love helping knitters of all levels build confidence in their craft. I’m also an active member of several knitting communities, including Colorado Maker’s Night Out and Grand Stitchers (Surprise, AZ).

Each month, I explore how knitting and astrology intertwine as tools for self-discovery and healing. Through my blog, I aim to help people better understand themselves through astrology while also experiencing the profound health benefits of knitting—an alchemical process of transformation, mindfulness, and creativity. Whether it's uncovering the cosmic symbolism of textiles, delving into historical fiber arts, or reflecting on the deeper connection between craft and the stars, my writing is here to inspire and support your journey.

Let’s knit with the stars and craft new stories together!
