#rhinebecksheepandwool 2026 was a dream💫Grateful I got to be there and squeeze and see so many beautiful souls and gorgeous hand knit and crocheted confections. I’m still high off all of the inspo and magic. And I love that gold✨ seemed to be the main color palette this year. Thank you forever to my partner in crime @gemmadarlings for the most magical weekend. 💫✨🧡

The best weekend ever began at @awoolenaffair💫 My soul is still sparkling from seeing everyone and soaking in all of the magic. These are just a few glimmers that were captured so I could take you along with me. More to come, and thank you to everyone who stopped and squeezed me, seeing you all was the highlight and thank you to Catherine and crew for such a beautiful event. And most of all #to Dani @gemmadarlings for being the best friend a gal could dream up.

🧶🍁 Rhinebeck 2026 recap 🍁🧶 What a fun weekend with gorgeous fall weather and fiber friends galore! I'm always filled with so much inspiration and ambition after an event like this, and I can't wait to get home and put so many new ideas into action.

Friday my crew and I attended @awoolenaffair and @indieuntangled. Woolen Affair was epic and I discovered so many new-to-me brands and products. I rarely buy yarn and I really appreciated all of the curated products that were yarn-adjacent like bags, mugs, hats, jewelry, etc. I heard @cake.a.palooza was also wonderful this year and I'm sad I missed it!

Saturday was our day at the fairgrounds for @nysheepwool and the leaves, cool breeze, and sun were really showing off. It's one of the only years I can remember that it was cool enough to actually wear our knits and not be sweating 😅

Here's a rundown in some photos from the weekend:

1) soaking in the sunshine and fall foliage

2) arriving at @awoolenaffair with @1dogwoof in the coziest overcast weather

3) catching up with the lovely @clintonhillcashmere

4) matching mugs with the girls

5) the sweetest @olgaputanodesigns

6) my favorite purchase of the weekend from @liebeskindceramics

7) @indieuntangled crew

8) swatching amongst the mountains

9) after hours at the @modern.daily.knitting meetup

10) animals on parade at the fairgrounds

11) cutie 🐑

12) the coolest @jengeigley

13) the iconic @ceciknitstheworld

14) bookended by @1dogwoof and @vanreyknits in their yellow coats

15) the lovely ladies of @laine_magazine

16) so many compliments on the Collector Wrap! Can't wait for the official #ArtHistoryMAL cast on tomorrow.

18) love this girl @noodlyknits

🍂🍁 Happy Autumn Equinox and Stevie Nicks season to all those who celebrate! ✌🏽🕯️💫

It’s officially Sweata Weatha here in NYC and I’m not mad about it. Busting out my Le Backpack, one of my favorite older designs, and filling it with all the essentials: yarn, snacks, emotional support lip balm, and approximately three projects I definitely may or may not finish before Rhinebeck. 🍂🧶😅

This season always feels like magic. The leaves are turning, the needles are clicking, and suddenly I want to cast on everything. Here’s to chunky knits, golden hour walks, cozy layers, and embracing your inner stitch Witch. ✨🍁

What’s on your needles and hooks this fall?

Somehow I missed #Internationalcrochetday while I was away traveling for work. I learned to crochet as a kid before even learning how to knit and always seem to find myself coming back to it when designing. Throwback to a few of my favorite crochet (and crochet + knit) designs. And to all of you gorgeous fiber friends who actually made one of these patterns or supported my design journey in any way, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ✨

✨Not to be dramatic, but somewhere between the creativity, the incredible team & community, and just simply being at @thefarmersdaughterfibers last week, I think my knitting magic has returned. 😭🧶🪄
Feeling so grateful for the people, conversations, inspiration and the vibes.✨

End of August. . .

Summer is slowly slipping away and I know you pumpkin spice latte loving lovies cannot wait, but I am still trying to soak up every last bit that I can. 🤍

Every last sunset, every last moment with my boys because that means one last summer with them and we only really get 18 if you are super duper lucky enough. I’m still working on getting my sparkle back as we all are in some way I’m sure. But I thought I’d share some glimmers from my month (so I can always look back):

🧶Some of my new classes and tutorials going live on the michaels / @learnwithmichaels website✨

I hope you do something today that brings you a little joy, even if it’s just reflecting on how far you’ve come from where you began. 💕
