It's almost here! I've been patiently waiting for the knit afghan since Makenzie Alvarez of Hanks and Needles announced that she was sending it my way!
Back in December, I announced in a post my participation in this huge collaboration hosted by Lion Brand Yarns. In conjunction with Lion Brand’s “My Life in Yarn” 2020 campaign, the Traveling Afghans will be a collaborative effort amongst 49 knitwear designers and bloggers from seven different countries!
Please visit Landing page for this awesome collaboration over at Alexandra's blog post here to learn all about how you can participate! I am honored to be part of the Knit Afghan! I'm #9 on the list!
Yarn. Crocheting. Knitting. It's all very meditative for me. During a really hard time in my life, I started to crochet watching youtube. I joined Instagram and received so much love and support. I decided to teach myself knitting too. I tried knitting in high school but I was young and didn't commit to it. It's been so amazing to work with the staff at Lion Brand Yarn and other designers. I love to teach so i'm working on building my YouTube Channel because it's how I learned and I want to giveback by teaching through videos.
