In this Crochet With Me live, I’m keeping it super low-pressure and cozy—because sometimes chronic illness has other plans. I delayed going live for an hour to see if my pain “episode” would chill out, and then I decided, last minute, that I didn’t want to crochet alone. So I popped on to hang out with y’all and turn my regular stitching time into a little chat-and-craft escape. This one is all about community: grab whatever project you’ve got (crochet, amigurumi, anything crafty), plus a drink or snack, and come sit with me for a bit. I’m working through my own stitches while we talk, unwind, and just exist together in a way that’s chronic illness-friendly—no perfection, no pressure, just making something with our hands. If you’re looking for a place to build a routine of crafty lives where we can laugh, vent, and take a break from the real world for a while, this is exactly the vibe I’m trying to grow.
