There’s nothing like a round, handmade throw pillow to add the right touch of vintage to your home! With macrame wall hangings trending like crazy, you might be on the lookout for a little something to tie your macrame in (see what I did there?) with the rest of your decor. This easy-to-make granny circle cushion uses chunky yarn and a huge crochet hook to make this pillow come together super fast.

If you’re into this yarn, tune in later this week for a review and giveaway with TWO prizes up for grabs!

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
