From Your Mailbox… to Times Square

Knit Nation Made It to Times Square

We believe knitting deserves the spotlight. And this summer, Knit Nation was featured right in the heart of New York City—Times Square. From living rooms and porches to the biggest stage in the world, our little newspaper has made a big impression.


It’s proof that what you’re holding isn’t just paper—it’s part of a growing movement of knitters reclaiming joy, calm, and connection, one stitch at a time.

Print vs. Digital Comparison

Why Print Wins

Your Screen-Free Ritual Awaits

There’s something special about slowing down with yarn, tea, and the soft rustle of paper.


Knit Nation isn’t another tab on your browser—it’s a monthly pause button.
 

Delivered to your door, ready to be savored, it’s your invitation to step away from screens and rediscover the simple rhythm of knitting and reading.
 

Each issue is a keepsake, a quiet moment you can hold in your hands and enjoy at your own pace.
