🧶Your most creative friend
We all have that one creative friend. We see them, painting or drawing or sculpting or dressing so easily, so intuitively. “You’re so creative!” we say. “I wish I could be like you.” 😔 And this, my friend, is where we get it wrong. Because “we” are them. Humans are creative beings. If you are…

🧶 A confession and a declaration
This morning I was in the shower and, as often happens, I got an unexpected “download from the universe” – a thought, seemingly out of the blue. (Is this where your big ideas happen, too?) It’s a little bit embarrassing to confess, but I’m going to confess it anyway, because there’s an important point underneath…

🧶How to become your own cheerleader
The other day, I had just finished writing in my planner, “do more journaling…” When I picked up my phone and started scrolling (thinking “I should be journaling instead” 😅) And there it was. Felicity “Felix” Ford of Knit Stars Season 6 fame was in my phone, telling me she has a new membership called…

🧶Knitflix and chill
This week has been so incredibly fulfilling…like watching a ten-year dream come to life. Inside our Knit Stars Season 10 community, we’ve been releasing and new masterclass every day, and the feedback has made every mile, every zoom meeting, and even the kidney infection worthwhile. 😅 I know it may sound a little cheesy, but…

🧶 What’s new and what’s next
Today’s the day! Knit Stars Season 10 premieres today, starting with Cecilia Losada’s masterclass. 🎉🎉🎉 It’s wild to think of all of the collective work, all of the rolls of film, all of those Delta miles and all of the stitches that went into the making of this mega Season. It feels so amazing, knowing…

🧶Trust your wings
This week’s story is tiny but oh so powerful. Most people that know me well, know I’m not a bird lover. Birds actually kind of terrify me. BUT I recently learned about the ruby-throated hummingbird of eastern North America, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Every year, these teensy creatures begin storing up calories…

🧶In praise of “Book the Now”
I’d almost forgotten what this feels like. The unadulterated thrill of holding a freshly-minted pattern book in my hands. Not just a pdf printout or a leaflet, mind you, but an honest-to-goodness book. A full three hundred and sixteen pages, no less. Don’t get me wrong. I love the digital age. I love the instant…

🧶Don’t try to fix it…

🧶Finally, something good on TV! 👀
Today I’m going to get a little personal (well who am I kidding, I’m always pretty personal here) and share about my own TV habits, and how I’m trying to get more intentional about evolving them. So when Luke is in town, the TV is on a lot more than when he is traveling for…

🧶Shoo fly, don’t bother me
The other night was one of those most magical nights where I live, along the Gulf Coast. I was walking Charles Barkley on the powdery white sand beach, thinking about something I recently learned. The secret of the famous sand is Silica Quartz, which makes up 97-98% of our sand. It’s cool to the touch,…

🧶My most dangerous game
Last year, we introduced something new called 19 Questions. It was inspired by Vogue’s 73 Questions, a popular video series created by filmmaker Joe Sabia, where celebrities are featured in their homes or similar environments, and asked 73 rapid-fire questions. I loved the 73 Questions series, except for one thing…it was pretty clear to me…

🧶 My favorite book
For the last few months, I’ve been saving a story I wanted to share with you. And now that filming of Knit Stars Season 10 is complete, and it’s just you and me here, the time has finally come. And given this week’s news, it seems especially important to share right now. It’s about my…
