It’s one of those Mondays where I feel like I need a weekend to recover from the weekend 😅 So much fun getting to spend time with @thequeenstitch, @1dogwoof, and @vanessaknits over the last few days. Check my stories for a little recap! - Pictured: Sunset Beach Wrap kit in collab with @weareknitters ✌🏼
Details ➰
One of my unexpectedly favorite makes of the year is the Stone Ridge Ruana. Often I am attracted to a new design because it feels like a challenge, and usually there’s a technique involved that I’ve never done or have no clue how to even begin without doing some research. So when I set out to design this pattern (along with @1dogwoof who made a gorgeous Tunisian crochet version called the Kingston Ruana), the fact that it was just a simple, easy, garter stitch rectangle was enticing because it was a nice break from having to use my brain too much, but it didn’t seem like anything super special because of its simplicity. Oh how wrong I was! The more this baby grew and I was able to try it on and see it all come together, the more I fell in love. The simple addition of the one-sided strap elevated this otherwise basic ruana into such a special piece and now I am overjoyed with it. I realized it has all of the elements I love - drama, sophistication, and ease. It’s also SO meditative to work on because of the simplicity, and it’s totally beginner-friendly 🖤 Oh and also, it’s a free pattern 😉 link in bio.
I might be a pink person now. @sewrella and @allaboutami have rubbed off on me 😂 No but for real, I’m loving this @lionbrandyarn Coboo yarn in Mauve sooooo much. Swatching for an upcoming pattern that I am so psyched about! Check out all of the new Coboo colors via the link in my bio ✌🏼
Had so much fun taking over the @loveknittingcom account yesterday! In case you missed it, ALL of my patterns are 30% off all month on loveknitting.com with the code INDIEJUNE in celebration of their annual month-long focus on indie designers. This includes the brand new Mountain Ringer Tee pictured here ❤️🗻 Dropping a link in my bio to my storefront on their site.
Hi everyone! Today I’m taking over the @loveknittingcom account as part of #IndieJune, so make sure to follow along. I will be answering questions in the @loveknittingcom stories, so head over there and ask me anything! 😘
Does this count as knitting in public? 🌿

I’m reading through the (currently) 669 comments of all of your takeaways and breakthroughs and it just makes me so happy to have been able to take part in something so encouraging and valuable. I’m still watching all of the recording myself, and I’m blown away with all of the information shared by these incredible women in the industry.

Friday surprise! The Retro Summer Collection just got a new addition 👏🏼 I couldn’t help myself after seeing how excited you all got over the Sunset Ringer Tee, and I just had to whip up another one with a different motif. Meet the ⛰Mountain Ringer Tee🏔, with a slightly more relaxed “t-shirt” fit and worked up in @lionbrandyarn Comfy Cotton Blend and Vanna’s Palettes. This pattern comes in seven sizes XS-3XL and makes the absolute perfect t-shirt base whether you add the colorwork or not! I truly want to make one in every color. Visit the link in my bio for the pattern now available on my site 🥰
Happy Thursday everyone! We are one day closer to the weekend, which means we are one day closer to the Handmade Business Summit! I’m seriously SO pumped for this online event I cannot wait! Even as a “professional” in this industry, I am constantly learning from the other incredible entrepreneurs in the space and I have no doubt that I will walk away from this summit with a massively long, inspiring, and actionable to-do list 😂🙈. If you haven’t signed up yet, remember that it’s free to watch all of the courses live, and/or you can also purchase the recordings to watch any time at your leisure.

This weekend @lionbrandyarn is highlighting some favorite take-long travel projects and among them is one of my all-time faves - the Cambria Wrap. I’ve gotten more use out of this wrap than any of my others and I absolutely love that useful in so many seasons. I’m dropping the link to the free pattern in my bio and sharing the link to the kit in my stories along with some of the other lovely designs included in the round up. Each of these kits is on sale so make sure to grab them while you can!
ICYMI: Yesterday I announced in my stories that I’m one of the panelists for the Handmade Business Summit - a FREE 2-day online summit June 8th and 9th where you can learn from experts (such as @makeanddocrew @tlyarncrafts @mooglyblog and so many more) in the field on how to grow your knitting and crochet hobby into a business. Everything from how to launch a website/blog/Etsy store, to how to monetize it through social media and sponsorships with yarn companies! To register, follow the link in my bio.
