In this cozy little “dopamine making” catch-up, I’m sharing what’s been on my needles and under my presser foot lately—because right now I’m craving stripes, texture, and projects that feel fun to pick up. I’m working on a striped knit cardigan (the kind of simple, happy knitting that keeps me coming back for “just one more stripe”), and I’ve also got a half fisherman’s rib shawl in progress for that squishy, rhythmic stitch time. It’s very much a season of letting the process be the point. On the sewing side, I’m playing with a gorgeous royal blue laundered linen and turning it into a couple of wardrobe pieces that feel intentional and wearable. I talk through where each project is at, what’s working, what I’m adjusting as I go, and how I’m thinking about these makes as part of a thoughtful handmade wardrobe. If you’re into slow fashion sewing and knitting—especially project updates that feel like a cozy creative reset—this one is exactly that.
