I’ve been going back through my camera roll and revisiting some past pieces and apparently two years ago today I finished up this all-French knot piece. These full coverage knot hoops are so meditative and comforting to me 🪡

“In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit…”

I love sharing this piece over in Instagram on 9/22 every year and wanted to share it here too! Happy hobbit day to all who celebrate.

started this blanket in August, thought I’d have it done by December, ran out of yarn, the colors I needed were out of stock for months, finally got my hands on more, powered through the last 1/3 of this project in less than two weeks. what a journey

it’s been a minute since I’ve shared a crochet work in progress here - I’m hustling to get this baby blanket done before a friend’s baby shower next weekend! it’s a very simple pattern and color palette but I love how it’s turning out

this was a fun little experiment - appliqué embroidery, beading, and using colors I don’t usually go for

Early morning work in progress on a new knitting project this week (ft. two of my helpers of course) 🧶 immensely grateful for the hobbies and art practices that help keep me grounded even while it feels like everything is collapsing around us

happy love day 🫶🏼 we’ll be celebrating in our house by potty training our toddler and counting down until her bedtime so we can watch severance 🙃 but in the meantime enjoy these pretty pink hoops in honor of the day

Firing my assistant today - this one sleeps on the clock and tries to eat yarn. 0/10 would not hire again.
