I’m that girl who brings yarn everywhere—car rides, movie nights, waiting rooms… you name it. Crocheting and knitting are more than just hobbies for me; they’re how I decompress, get creative, and make something with my hands that actually lasts. Whether it’s a beanie for a friend or a random square that’ll probably never be part of a blanket, I’m in it for the joy of the stitch. It’s so fun and practical because crocheted/knitted goodies make the perfect gifts!!!🧶
