Hi, I'm Murigen of Purl and Peace. Welcome!

I’ve had yarn in my hands since childhood, starting with crochet and later falling deeply in love with knitting. Over the years, it has become so much more than a creative outlet — it’s a way to find balance, joy, and calm in the rhythm of each stitch.

At Purl and Peace, I design patterns for both calm and challenge — giving knitters the choice of meditative projects for relaxation or engaging stitches that stretch skills and spark creativity.

My patterns and designs are just one part of the story. Through my background in yoga, applied neurology, and movement training, I also offer education on mindful practices that support the whole knitter. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, and weaving all rely on repetitive motion, and caring for our hands, neck, and body is essential to sustain the craft. I share simple, practical tools to bring peace to complex projects and to keep our bodies well so we can continue creating for years to come.

Most importantly, Purl and Peace is about connection. Fiber arts are meant to be shared, and I believe in building community through creating —  crafting space where we inspire and support one another, stitch by stitch.

So come knit with me — explore, learn, and discover how making can bring both creativity and calm into your life.
