KnittinG By Heart
A Creative Journey for All Knitters
The Book is now available for Purchase!
Decades in the making, KNITTING BY HEART by Renate Hiller and Mikae Toma, presents a living process of creation that can spark new ways of working for knitters at all levels. Inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), who sought to bring together practical and spiritual life in manifold ways, this is more than a pattern book or a manual of technique.
In an era of fast fashion and digital overwhelm, KNITTING BY HEART arrives as a soulful invitation to slow down, create with purpose, and reconnect to the ancient rhythm of handwork.
It takes knitters on an organically unfolding journey, moving from simple headbands and scarves to unique tunics, sweaters, and jackets made with natural fibers and plant-dyed colors, in a mood of loving devotion and spiritual striving. The result is both beautiful, functional clothing for the body, and refreshment for the soul.
Book Highlights Include:
-The fiber crafts and their evolving story
-Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf education
-Seeds for a renewal of the art of clothing
-The wonders of knitting
-Natural fibers, plant-colors, and spinning

One who works
with his hands is a laborer.
One who works
with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
One who works
with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.
----Widely attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi
