My Sweater and Sleep Socks

Been spending more time offline these days - it’s amazing what I can get done when I’m not scrolling. Working on some projects for my shop, and also treated myself to a little selfish knitting time. Made this cozy sweater and some comfy couch socks. Sofa socks? Sleep socks. All of the above!

I hope you’re well and enjoying the last days of summer!

The Light We Carry

I admire Michelle Obama for many reasons, and I love her even more for sharing her knitting journey. She’s asked fellow knitters to share a project we’re proud of and why we enjoy knitting.

For me, yarn crafting is meditative, healing, calming, and can also be challenging in a good way. It helps me focus and relax at the same time. I love the peaceful process of every stitch and the feeling of accomplishment when I’ve completed a project or learned a new technique. And it’s so rewarding when something I’ve made with my own hands makes someone smile. I also love the portability - I can take yarn therapy with me anywhere.

It makes me so happy and proud that my Mama was the first person to use these little knit coasters I made. ❤️
