Every knitter knows this is the best possible advice in all circumstances. Even if you’re procrastinating by knitting, hey, at least you’ll have a jumper by the end of it! If you’re a strung out, tangled-up, deadline-bound knitwear designer, every time you look at this poster I hope it will remind you to take a deep breath and remember why you love knitting. See number 1? It’s calming. If you’re snowed under with Christmas knitting/shopping/carding, if you’re annoyed at someone, or if you’ve just been dumped (ahem), keep calm and cast on. Stiff upper lip, darlings.

The crown design is from a slipover I started knitting years ago, by the way. I suspect it just needed to be seamed together, but it’s still sitting in a basket in Ankara. Funny how that happens…
Knitting and crocheting is such a good way to de-stress. Thank you for creating this poster as a friendly reminder.
Lovely choice of poster colours.
Great poster, thank you – it will adorn my new workroom in the new year :)
Thank you for the poster.

I love it! Made me smile.

If yours is anything like my 3-year-old Macbook, I can understand! Recently I’ve had to try to “keep calm” with it all too often. Never mind, maybe you can set it as your desktop wallpaper? :)
Ooh! Lovely. Right in the middle of finals, so I believe shall put this over my desk as I type away! Thank you.

I have the original hanging up in my house, but this is SO much more appropriate! Thank you very much for making these available!!
Great minds think alike! I’ve designed a range of greeting cards with this sentiment plus a few more appropriate ones too. Check out my etsy site if you get a minute: http://www.tillyflopdesigns.etsy.com
Your cards are lovely, Julie! I especially like the ‘yo’ cards, so clever. If I’d seen them before I probably wouldn’t have made these posters. ;) I shall plug your shop on the Rav thread too. Hope you’ll excuse the (sort of) serendipity!
Love it! Can I be a pain in the arse request a yummy emerald green background color? Pretty pretty please? ;)
How’s this? Hope you like it. :)
delightful! cheers!
I love the posters!I shall print the purple one – it will coordinate well with my soon-to-be-green coloured yarn room. (Well, it’s a regular room, it just houses the stash. ;)) Thanks!
Mmm. Green and purple. That’s a great colour-combo! :)
Wow! This is such a nice gift! This will definitely be framed when I make my dream knitting studio(which may be in this upcoming year!).
Thanks so much, Melynda. I hope 2010 brings you your dream studio, so we can see many many more of your gorgeous creations! :)
Just came back to bookmark this page and saw your response. We will be starting to frame out the basement for finishing next week. Today I did a post about craft rooms but I will soon be doing a post about specific elements in my craft room and this will be included. I just need to find a good printer!
I love this design! I want it on a t-shirt!
