Are you tired of "doing" all the time? Feeling frantic, frazzled and full of FOMO (fear of missing out)? Then it's time to slow down, disconnect from your screens, put your feet up and enjoy some JOMO (JOY of missing out).

This inspirational book of 21 gorgeous knitting projects also includes insights into how to use knitting to unwind from the relentless demands of our over-stimulated and digitalised lives. Rediscover how to connect with ourselves, and those around us, in a more meaningful way.

Included are special sections exploring the link between knitting and JOMO, along with humorous observations and lists.

JOMO Knits is authored by Christine Boggis, a mum, a journalist, and a knitter. After struggling with FOMO in her late teens and twenties, Christine has embraced the joy of missing out and now loves nothing better than a night at home alone in front of Netflix, always with her knitting, a peppermint tea and ideally some dark chocolate. Christine lives in Brighton, UK.

Key selling points include:

  • Discusses the different aspects of JOMO: knitting reads, knitting and mindfulness, and knitting for a cause.
  • Perfect for those wanting to disconnect from their screens.
  • Features 21 gorgeous step-by-step projects that embrace the joy of missing out.
