Where Stories Meet Stitches: My Blog Launch

Hello everyone! Welcome to The Literary Stitch Society, a space where book lovers and fiber art enthusiasts come together to share their passions. I’m Sabrina, your host.



My reading journey began back in elementary school with The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly by Luis SepĂșlveda. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the characters, and the story itself. I loved it so much that at the next book fair, I begged my mom to buy me a copy so I could read it over and over. From that moment, my love for reading only grew, and it’s been a constant in my life ever since.


My passion for fiber arts developed a bit later. As a child, I remember watching my mom knit sweaters and cardigans for me and my sister and crochet doilies (which are quite popular here in Italy—every respectable Italian household has at least a few on display). While I admired her work, she didn’t have the patience to teach me. Years later, at the age of 25, I decided to learn on my own. I started with crochet, then picked up knitting, and haven’t looked

back since.

This blog is my way of combining these two hobbies into something special. Whether it’s diving into a gripping fantasy novel or working on a cozy sweater, I believe there’s magic in pairing stories with stitches.

Here’s what you can expect to find in my cozy corner:

  • Book of the Month: We’ll explore one book in depth together, with chapter-by-chapter discussions.
  • TBR (To Be Read): A monthly list of books I’m excited to dive into.
  • Anticipated Reads: Let’s talk about upcoming books, theories, and what we can’t wait to discover.
  • Sneak Peek Reads: A special section where I’ll share reviews and thoughts on books I’ve had the privilege to read before their release. Discover what’s coming to shelves soon!
  • Knitting and Crochet Updates: Regular posts about my current projects, pattern testing, and even some of my own designs.
  • Seasonal Craft Themes: Every season, I’ll focus on a new craft theme inspired by the time of year. For winter, I’m starting with a cozy scarf and hat to keep me warm and creative

I’m so excited to share this journey with you. Let’s create a warm, welcoming space for creativity and connection. So tell me, what are you reading or crafting right now? Share in the comments—I’d love to hear from you!
