I’m Kristie. I live in Florida with my husband, three daughters, Frenchie, Maine Coon Cat + hamster. I love, love, love sharing my knitting adventures through the Sunshine State with you. I mostly share what I am knitting + my finished objects, but I also share books I’m reading/listening to, shows I’m watching, Florida yarn store tours + other knitting experiences, advice + tips.

Why subscribe?

Knit happens (sometimes fast), but my mantra for 2025 is slow + steady, so this means things like enjoying the knitting journey more than the destination, posting on social media 1x daily + sending out my newsletter 1x weekly.

Subscriber vs. Follower

I see a lot of questions about the difference between becoming a subscriber vs. a follower on Substack. Subscribers never miss an update — every new post is sent directly to your email inbox.

Followers only see my Notes.
