A Year of Stitches, Growth, and Gratitude
As 2025 comes to a close, I’m taking a moment to pause, breathe, and look back on a year filled with yarn, creativity, and so many small (and big) wins. This year reminded me why I love creating, designing, and sharing handmade projects with such a supportive community.
From new patterns and product ideas to lessons learned along the way, here’s a look back at what 2025 brought.
🧶 Creative Highlights of 2025
This year was full of creative momentum. I released new crochet patterns, experimented with fresh designs, and leaned into projects that brought both joy and practicality—especially those quick, giftable makes we all love.
Some highlights:
-
New pattern launches that quickly became favorites
-
Expanding seasonal and holiday designs
-
Creating more beginner-friendly and fast-finish projects
-
Exploring fun extras like gift tags, packaging, and printables
Each release helped me grow not just as a designer, but as a maker who listens to what the community actually wants and needs.
