$50.00

***Please note: Emotion Tempestry Kits generally ship within 1-2 weeks. Thank you for your patience and support!***

Emotion Tempestries are a simple, intuitive, fun, and sometimes cathartic project for observing and contemplating our shifting emotions over time.

Each day is worked in the color that best represents the mood of the day, and you simply knit two rows or crochet one row per day to create a beautifully colorful record of the days and months as they unfold.

Perfect for beginning knitters with knowledge of the basics, and includes links for tutorial videos.

Emotion Tempestry Knit Kits include: 

-25g of yarn in yellow (happy), green (calm), orange (anxious), red (angry), blue (sad), and gray (bored/listless) for a total of approximately 150g
-Approximately 30 beads in above colors plus purple (fear) instead of gray
-A Needle Wrangler to keep your project on the needles
-A pocket notebook for recording daily colors & events
Optional add-ons include a 1.0mm beading crochet hook, 24″ US7 knitting needles

Our kits provide all six yarn and bead colors, but keep in mind that every Emotion Tempestry is unique and will use different amounts of each color.  Extra yarn is available for order here, and beads are available here.

For every 20 Emotion Tempestry kits we sell, we donate $50 to mental health resources.

All our work is done in a smoke-free but cat-friendly home. While this particular cat is not prone to playing with yarn, her hair (as any pet owner knows) does occasionally stray.

Include knitting needles and beading hook?

Please choose whether you’d like wood knitting needles (US#7 for garter stitch), a 1.00mm beading hook, neither, or both!

  • Description

    We started knitting our first Emotion Tempestry with our 8-year old to record her daily moods in a non-judgmental and safe way during a globally stressful time. Ending each day with a quick recap of what color the day felt like became a sweet bedtime ritual, and on the occasions when we forgot for a couple days, it became an exercise in sifting through the previous days to get to the kernel of emotion beneath them.

    Beads can be used to mark specific events within the overall mood/color of the day. For example, a happy yellow yarn day might still have an angry red bead to mark an argument or a frightened purple bead to mark a particularly bad dream. An anxious orange yarn day might still get a happy yellow bead to mark a friend’s visit or loving a new book or, in our case, learning to knit.

    Emotion Tempestries can be general, with just a smattering of beads (if any), or quite specific with lots of beads. Our starter kits provide small amounts of all five colors, but keep in mind that every Emotion Tempestry is unique and will use different amounts of each color.  We also offer the beads and yarn colors individually to supplement your starter kit as needed.
