summer hasn’t even arrived and yet I’m already scheming up new patterns for fall. I’m really grateful for the mental release I’m feeling. Shifting my focus to photography for the summer, taking a break from popups till fall and allowing myself time to think and be creative is having an immediate impact on what I’m doing.

I’ll be full time photography & mentoring mode till September, working with clients and starting to prep Beanie inventory for the fall. You can find my vintage in person at all summer long, and on my website. I’m going to spend some more time thrifting again for myself and curating new things for my rack at Studio Forma - I’m not going anywhere , just shifting the percentage of my focus between my businesses.

If this is news to you, please sign up for my Substack newsletter. I feel like I’ve been talking endlessly about where to find me - and yet I still get asked constantly when my next popup is, what Studio Forma is, etc. Reach out anytime! Social Media is draining and I know it’s hard to keep track. I appreciate those that do seek me out. Luv ya 🙏🏼🤍

Knitting is such a fun and relaxing hobby to pick up - I’ve seen an uptick in pattern downloads this week and been hearing from friends at markets that they are learning or want to learn.

Swipe to see cute selfies from friends knitting and projects you’ve been working on. The Always beanie is a perfect project for Spring and many ways to wear and style it.

Now that I’ll have some more time I’ll be working on new videos and knitting content to help you feel confident getting started. Let me know what questions you have, what you’d like to see - and please always share your projects and selfies!!

You can find our knitting patterns online - with more to come this fall. Use code KNITQUICK for $2 off your next download!

Hiya! Lots happening around the city this weekend - and super excited to be a part of the Women Popping Up and Popping Off event hosted by at

The line-up is really great and I’m looking forward to checking out this new event space in Fremont.

THIS IS MY LAST POPUP till September ( which means you can still shop online and swing by to shop my vintage - they have a ton of great events and markets happening this summer ! ) I hope to see you on Saturday!

I’m bringing a whole stack of Beanies, a nice fresh curation of vintage tees, and of course, physical copies of the Always beanie pattern.

See you there?!
