~let’s have a heart to heart….as the collection comes to a close i just wanted to say thank you again for all of the support. the collection means so much to me. it all came about so organically. for those who are new here, i’ve had a very rough 2026. we were having a baby, yay! and then my heath declined quickly for no obvious reason- i turned yellow, started passing out often, and couldn’t stay awake. i learned i had a blood disorder that was a very serious risk for delivery and was nearly stuck in the hospital for two months with treatments and monitoring. and then we lost our health insurance…and a tip through the grapevine said my husband is essentially losing his job and to prepare for that (they can’t “fire” him but they can move him to a minimum wage position with 4 hours a week)…because he had to take an extended leave. my baby was born prematurely with three birth defects (should resolve with time! nothing too serious) but went through a very intense nicu stay. 3 am phone calls about an emergent chest operation. we’re all alive, right?? *hear my sarcasm* this was such a sad and scary time. i went back to my studio 5 days postpartum because i really needed joy through all of this sadness. this collection just poured out. i’m glad i wrote it all down because i wasn’t planning colorways- i was just an artist being an artist. i dyed far too much yarn for a summer release and really felt doubtful about the whole thing. it’s summer, sales are slow…it’ll probably be a loss. we’ll figure it out…we always do.
the most loved collection i’ve ever released. record skeins ordered. so much love and support. i really don’t have words. i’m just so grateful. it’s hard to put into words how it feels to see my art received so lovingly. it means a lot to me and to my family. so, thank you. i believe in telling people when they’ve made a difference. i’ve always been an artist. i never imagined i’d be able to support my family with my art. all of this is because of you all. i’m just so grateful. thank you. xx liz
