ABOUT

In 2024, I picked up knitting again after nearly a decade. I was really looking for something tactile that I could do as I worked through some personal issues, something that would be soothing and would help me tap into my creativity. To be honest, I’d found myself in a place where I was struggling to find my own will to live so picking up some needles and yarn and rediscovering knitting this past year got me engaging with myself in a way that it genuinely felt like I was giving my body life again. I was re-engaging with my creativity and I really am so excited to share this passion with you all. Knitting and wellness have become synonymous to me, and I could go on and on about how much knitting (or any craft really) can contribute to personal wellness. Today, I am still not quite to where I’d like to be, and my recovery has been anything but linear, but I’ve chosen to continue pursuing this endeavor because of how much it aligns with my personal goals and aspirations. I’m challenging myself to be kind to myself, and to just enjoy the process without being too hard on myself. I’m allowing myself to make mistakes, and to continue to learn along the way. If you’ve supported me along this journey, in anyway, THANK YOU! I’m grateful for every single person that has shown me kindness and love in this phase of my life. I think of Handmade by Linds as my own way of putting love and care back out into the world, especially at a time that it is needed most.
