🧶✨ Sunday Evening Unwind Post ✨🥂

It's been one of those weeks—full of unexpected obstacles and non-stop energy 🥵. But now? It’s the sweet sound of quiet and the click of needles.

Trading the hustle for the harmonious rhythm of yarn and a moment of peace. My current project is the perfect companion for this Sunday evening wind-down.

Reflecting on everything accomplished, and gently easing into thoughts for the week ahead... all while enjoying a little well-deserved bubbly 🍾. Cheers to slowing down and making something beautiful!

Next, I may have to work up a new hat.

Look at these fun little guys! I've been working on a couple of mini knit cactus projects and they were a blast to make. The kit had everything I needed, which made them super easy to work up. I love how they turned out! 🌵🧶

So, grab your hooks and get ready to level up your crochet game! I'm thrilled to announce a crochet workshop (in person) at the end of January in San Mateo, CA, focusing on the essential building blocks: foundation stitches!

This workshop, "Understanding Foundation Stitches," is perfect for crocheters of all levels who want to refine their technique and explore the magic of a truly solid foundation. We all know how frustrating it can be to start a project with a wonky chain, right? In this 1.5-hour class, we'll dive into the core stitches that will transform your crochet and set you up for success with any project.

Here's what you'll discover:

-Say goodbye to chain headaches: Learn how foundation stitches eliminate the struggle of counting chains and dealing with uneven tension.
-Unlock superior elasticity: Discover how foundation stitches create a more flexible and professional-looking edge compared to traditional chains. This is especially great for garments and items that need some give!
-Effortless first rows: Experience the ease of working your first row directly into the foundation stitch, making the beginning of your projects smoother and more enjoyable.
-Clean and professional finishes: Learn how foundation stitches create a cleaner and more polished look, especially when working into both sides of the stitch.

Hello Hello!!!
I am hosting a workshop in the Bay Area (CA) at the end of January.

This would be for crocheters. A chance to dust off your hooks after the holiday and get back to enjoying the hobby of crochet.

Let me know if you would be interested.

Once I get things confirmed I will be sending out an email with all the details.

Happy Holidays!!

Will travel with knits.

I'm curious, when you travel how many projects do you take with you?

I'm currently on a road trip and I've got two projects in my bag. One is a cowl using lace weight yarn the other is a cable sweater using worsted weight yarn.

I never leave home with our projects.

Tell me what is in your travel bag.
