Hi I’m Jewell, — Chicago-based and totally obsessed with yarn.
You’re the girly who’s all about intentional living — drawn to good fiber, peaceful energy, and deep into your DIY slow fashion era. I’m designing patterns for you. Because fast is everywhere, but slowing down? That’s a choice and a total “I made this” flex.
Knitting is meant to be fun, and I create simple patterns and curated knit kits for those who want to embrace it in a modern, feel-good way — whether you’re casting on for the first time or have the stash to prove you’ve been at it a while.
I see you — with your WIP project bag, a good book, and a coffee in hand. You create for the calm, the creativity, the presence — not perfection. My goal is to design pieces that feel like you: grounded, effortless, and made for knit days, chill days, and everything in between.
