1. I’m a Brooklyn girl, born & raised (shout out to Coney Island where I grew up) who now lives in NC.
2. Married to a super supportive husband and mother of 4 talented humans.
3. I’m a Beanie Queen & who has now been dubbed the pom pom Queen as well😱(thank you🥰)

Hi 👋🏽 there! So now that I’ve got the days

Hi 👋🏽 there! So now that I’ve got the days of the week back in order 🙃here’s my new wip! New beanie in the works. I make all sorts of beanies but mostly I like bottom up. So the part I like to get done quick is the brim. It may be my least fav part of beanie making but I love the ripple of texture it adds. Now onto the goodies…the body!🙌🏽 I’m hoping you’re all enjoying your day? What are you making this #wipwednesday?

I’m making some progress on this beanie. The hues are just so beautiful. I’m a huge fan of color so when I’m not working it into my own designs in some way, I love playing with yarns that self stripe and fade into one another.

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Now that my sample has shipped I can begin to put my focus on other wips that I’ve been neglecting.😬 Wish me luck🤞🏽 I tend to lean towards new & shiny makes. I will still work on my designs in between. I just have to find that balance. Here’s my latest! I’m loving the colors and how they fade into one another giving me all the autumn vibes.🍁🍂

Happy Autumn!🍁 It’s #wipwednesdays and I’m

Happy Autumn!🍁 It’s #wipwednesdays and I’m seaming. I’m so happy to be finishing off this #secretwip sample!🙌🏽 I can remember a time when I was so intimidated by seaming. It completely blocked so many wip ideas at the time because I could not figure how to sew pieces together seamlessly. The whole idea was very daunting. Then, I finally took the time to research the many different ways to seam pieces together and was so elated when I found the mattress stitch. It’s one of my favs because it’s an invisible seam and gives your garment or project such a clean polished look. Many fiber artists prefer for a project to be seamless but I’ve learned to embrace it because in the end it’s all about the finished look to me. And it’s also a celebratory moment because it means this #wip is done & outta here!🎉😂

It’s reveal time!🙌🏽 Now that the beanie has been received I can finally share it with you guys. This is my 3rd year making blue hats for the anti-bullying campaign @hat_not_hate and as always in the end I am filled with all of the feelings of having been a part of something greater than my every day. I started a tradition at the beginning that I always make a little something for Shira as a thank you for creating Hat Not Hate and bringing us #bluesoldiers altogether. So, this year was no different, my inspiration came in the form of the #shishow, a space that Shira created last year during the pandemic when the world that we once knew came to a halt. It’s a place where we laugh, we cry, share yarny things, talk hat not hate, do make-a-longs and do spin agains! 😂 It is a safe place for us to breathe in the middle of our busy days and lift each other up. It’s serious, most of us even set our alarms so we don’t miss it! So here it is the #shishowbeanie! Thank you @shiraroars! You keep us going, cracking us up and motivating us to continue fighting the good fight with blue!!🙌🏽💙💙💙 Swipe to see the pom pom that came later. S/o to hub’s for that one!😘

Happy FriYayy everyone! I’m super happy that my blue hugs have arrived safe and sound to Hat Not Hate headquarters!🙌🏽 I saw there were lots of boxes left to be unboxed on the #shishow today so here’s 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽for hoping we reach 60K!!💙💙💙

Now that that blue season is over it’s back to secret wips and family gifts that I never seem to complete. I am determined to change that this year with these goodies. I keep a journal for my to do lists, ideas, pattern details that I swear I’ll remember come time to type them up (lies I tell😩) I realized one of my journals had only a few pages left so I ordered some new ones from @michaelstores and they were buy 1 get 1/2 off. I loved the messages on these two the most.
.
.
My other find I learned about from Toni of @tlyarncrafts YouTube channel where she spoke of her 12 Essential Crochet Tools and Notions. Her list was spot on and mimicked my very notion bags but when she got to the chart reader, I said whaaaaa???🤯 I don’t know about you but I stay losing my place and usually mark up my patterns to remember where I was last. This is a game changer for me! It has magnetic strips that are used as place markers and when you close it with the pattern inside with the same spot you left it on! It’s perfect for charts which is what I do! But it also works with a pattern without a chart! This is the rose gold and I got it from my friends @wecrochetofficial. (Mine is on clearance now link in bio) It also comes in teal.
.
.
So I was feeling chatty huh 😂 Last but not least thanks 🙏🏽 for all the love for my We Crochet Beanie!💜 I appreciate you all. I hope you all have a blessed weekend!
