In the spirit of the season, I begin this show with a list of my go-to self-care essentials. Things you may not even be aware of that I believe bring high value to our self-care journeys. From a simple cheap notebook to a high end imported French tea…it’s all here. Take your pick from the links below. The complete list is on the blog below.
I had such fun talking to Brandi Cheyenne Harper, who is a VERY cool woman and a knitting genius. Her designs are so beautiful and hip and just plain fresh! And she really makes a compelling case for why knitting truly is absolute self-care.
I learned:
- How she got started
- What knitting has to do with self-care
- How false modesty does NOT help us…but knitting does
- How to enjoy knitting imperfectly
- How she fits pleasure knitting into her knit-biz life
- How long it takes to do her patterns (it’s surprisingly fast!)
I hope you enjoy as much as I did. A very fun project to carry into the New Year!
Happy New Year everyone.
Love,
