You’re a friend that has me in stitches

Three friends settle in for a crafty catch‚ up that quickly unravels into hysterics. The central knitter, all curls and a bright green jumper, laughs so hard the yarn has migrated from lap to hair; a needle perches like a comic hatpin while a runaway ball of wool loops around her feet. To one side, a purple‚ clad pal serenely purls a loopy, cloudlike scarf; to the other, a friend in blue pauses mid‚ stitch, hand to mouth, enjoying the spectacle almost as much as the plate of biscuits balanced on a chair. A plump, bespectacled cat becomes an unwilling yarn weight, tethered by a strand that trails from the needles. Teacups, crumbs and tangles scatter the floor in a cheerful mess that feels instantly familiar to anyone who has ever tried to knit and chat at once. Rendered in warm watercolour and quick, expressive lines, the illustration celebrates the real rituals of friendship: indulgent snacks, shared hobbies, and unstoppable laughter that makes your sides ache. The title lands as both a pun and a truth‚ these are friends who keep each other in stitches, in every sense. The scene radiates the comfort of a long‚ running craft night where perfection is optional and company is the point.
