About the blog
Crochet and knitting, side by side
Slip Slip Purl is a pattern-led blog for crocheters and knitters who want clear, approachable projects they can actually make, with yarn, hook or needles, and a steady pace.
Why both crafts
Giving crochet and knitting equal space
We built this blog to give both crafts the same attention. Each pattern is written with the same care whether it works in stitches or in rows, so you can move between them without feeling like one is an afterthought.
Every project is worked up and checked before it is shared, so the steps you follow match what was actually made.
Our process
From swatch to finished photo
01
Gauge swatch: stitch a small test piece and measure your tension before starting the project.
02
Stitch check: work the pattern and confirm each stitch and row matches the written instructions.
03
Finished photography: document the completed piece in daylight so the stitch texture reads clearly.
