It’s not only the ingredients on my dinner plate that change with the passing seasons, but also the items that come out of my craft box. As the leaves change and the days close in, balls of tactile, earthy-coloured yarn and chunky wooden needles are particularly satisfying. I’m not alone – with knitting circles meaning you can be social with every single stitch.

If you've no time to time to knit, you can wrap up in Natalie’s – aka Miss Knit Nat – contemporary snoods, scarves and headbands (right), made in her Woking studio using British spun lambswool.
