Content creation fuelled by passion isn't as easy as it seems. Creative burnout is real. Love the more real behind the scenes of it all

Watching this while working on the Salty Days test knit :) My husband got me a hotel room in town for the night, and this is the most relaxed I've been since my daughter was born three and half years ago. I've been enjoying this pattern and the Arctic Lights pattern so much that I think I'm going to have to just go ahead and get your book.

Loved the trips into your office and the city. Ive been following you for a while now, and got back into knitting and learning from your Marshmallow Cap (didn’t know it was you at the time), but I made 3, 2 for grandchildren and 1 for a friend (Im 76). You are such a talented knitter and designer, love your tutorials. Im in SE Alaska in a small berg called Petersburg. Finland is beautiful. I miss having a kitty, and my 19 yo Sophia was just like your long hair kitty. You have created beautiful things, and a beautiful life‘s journey for yourself. Your lighter hair color turned out gorgeous! Thank you for inviting us along.

Your crochet bag is so neat! I remember when I visited Montreal, Quebec in the late 60's, I think, or early 70's and that style was all the rage at least in that city. I loved seeing them, didn't crochet then, but oh how I wanted one...but they were sold out in stores where I was looking. I am reminded how much I still like them in seeing yours.
