Happy New Year!

Hello, I’m Tilley. I’m an avid knitter, and many moons ago I was even a published designer. In 2026, I want to use my beloved craft to do something thoughtful and intentional.

The Kindness Cardi is a year-long knitting project made up of small panels, released weekly. Each panel represents an idea – political, environmental, spiritual or personal. Some are text, some are images. You can knit one, a few, or all of them.

Over the year, the panels come together to form a single cardigan.

This isn’t about perfect knitting or ticking boxes. It’s about slowing down and spending time with ideas rather than rushing past them. You don’t have to agree with every panel. You don’t have to knit them all. Take what resonates and leave the rest.

Patterns will be added here as the project unfolds. The cardigan will grow gradually, stitch by stitch.

That’s the project, I do hope you join in.

Welcome to the Kindness Cardi.
