đŸ§¶A new release, a giveaway and a gift

I keep seeing a similar sentiment popping up everywhere lately. It goes something like this: “Wow, 2025 has been crazy.” “I’m just exhausted.” “I’m so ready to put this year behind me.” If you’re feeling this way, I see you. My year has had its ups and downs, too. And certainly there are days when…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶ 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…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶ 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…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶Don’t try to fix it


Happy Sunday! Before I get into this week’s message, I want to make sure you know about the free live zoom event that’s today at 3pm CT. All 15 Stars from Season 10 will be there, sharing stories from their filming, and we’ll have some sneak peek clips and prizes too – including exclusive kits…

đŸ§¶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…

đŸ§¶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,…

đŸ§¶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…
