Come hang out with me while I’m cruising (and crafting) my way through South America! In this video I’m basically doing what we all love: sitting down with a cuppa, keeping my hands busy with a project, and chatting through all the textiles, artisanal crafts, and handmade goodness I’ve been spotting on my travels. If you’re into yarn, fiber, and the stories behind handmade work, you’re going to feel right at home with this one. I talk about the kinds of crafts I’m seeing, what catches my eye as a knitter/crocheter, and why it’s so inspiring to see traditional techniques and local artistry in the wild—outside of our usual yarn-shop bubble. The big takeaway is pure creative fuel: travel can absolutely spark new color palettes, stitch ideas, and project plans, and it’s a reminder of how connected our little crafting world is to bigger textile traditions. Grab your WIP and stitch along with me—this one is cozy, chatty, and full of inspiration.
