In today's video we embark on a new series called, "Rediscovering myself in my 30s." This is episode one where we discuss learning new skils, in particular crocheting and knitting!
In this series, we’ll tackle big topics-those essential discussions that sometimes we shy away from. We'll discover new things about ourselves, and I’ll be sharing more openly than I ever have, inviting you to do the same if you want to. Together, we'll focus on building our independence and self-reliance, learning new skills, building community and pushing our boundaries and comfort zones.
So, join me as we embark on this journey of rediscovery, where every step forward is a step towards becoming a more authentic and true version of ourselves. Let's learn, grow, and thrive together.

Hey Immy, I just thought I would mention… in all honesty and sincerity, I truly feel that some of your best content was during the pandemic. Perhaps you felt a bit lost and not really connected to where you wanted to be during that time, but I want to say that I found your content to be uplifting and helpful. I felt connected to you and your community during a time that left a lot of holes in our social lives and daily routines. Please don’t beat yourself up for what you put out into the world during that difficult time because I, personally, felt just a little bit more grounded and happy every time I tuned into one of your vids during that time of emptiness. Together, I think we all relied on one another to offer just a bit of inspo during that rather bleak time. Thanks for that!! I appreciate you!! Ⓜary💕
Nice to see some long format. I don't love the shorts and find a scroll by. I'm on the other side of 35 this year. What I can say is you don't stop rediscovering yourself because you keep changing. Your hopes and dreams constantly change. What I find more helpful is picking guiding values: sustainability, wellness, and community (for us). Then I think about how what I'm doing aligns with my values.
Hello, I am not a fan of shorts too 😁
Likewise, I feel like shorts promote mindless scrolling and I am not as attentive as I am with long-form content, which is kind of obvious, if you think about it. I am 31 and love this channel.
I'm 71 and I am going to learn crochtet again my mum showed me many years ago, didn't keep it up, I am so impressed with that lovely jacket you crocheted, I am really inspired to try again now. I am wanting to learn to sew clothes but there don't seem to any teachers you can actually go and sit with something I like as I learn by doing it with someone showing me.
Hi @annbeirne9583, I’m just turned 60, a week ago, and similarly to you, I have not yet gotten the knack of how to Crochet, despite being an avid knitter since my teens!
I have never quite gotten how to do it!☺️ Good luck with your project, Ann
So @Immy, I love the muti generational inspiration that you have sparked in your usual humble way, thanks so much, I am eager to give the pattern a go, am hoping to make a blanket to give to a friend for her special Birthday later in the year! Thanks Immy, and very well done, looks like you are a fast learner, gorgeous work!😃
Oh thats too bad there are no sewing teachers around. There are plenty of workshops and courses in person in many towns of Czech Republic. Making own clothes is on a rise 🤩
@@sharlotclark-george3922 Thank for the encouragement, Hope you get enjoy making you friends blanket for her special Birthday Sharlot, I find doing new things quite exciting and I don't think age should be a bar on trying new things, I would as my first project if I can find a simple pattern to crochet my granddaughter a poncho, this should be fun. might even try making squares into a poncho when I am a bit better at crochet, there are so many possibilities. My husband for m 71st birthday last week bought me a beginners macrame kit also something I have been wanting to do for a long time too.💖😊
Knitting is a good time to listen to an audiobook too especially when it’s a straight forward section or stitching together. Loved your blanket
Hi Immy, the blanket looks really wonderful! I have subscribed to your channel many years ago and I must admit I kind of miss the somewhat shorter and more consistent videos on sustainability, books you have read, your thinking on various topics like veganism, working out, gardening etc. You have a beautiful mind and its always wonderful and inspiring if you share your ideas!
I definitely relate to losing your independence. I became ill with a chronic illness 3 years ago, and lost a lot my life, stopped work and studies, moved back in with my parents. In a few weeks I turn 30 and will finally be moving into my own place again. But its definitely a journey to find my way again and sort of discover who I am now with these new circumstances.
Love your crochet cardigan. Very inspired to start a project like that ❤
Hello, I am glad you are well enough to move to your own place 🥳
@@HallaDita thank you 🥰
I feel this but for different reasons - I finanlly escaped an abusive mother only to land in an abusive relationship that I've now been out of for a year, so I'm figuring out who I am and what I like, and just allowing myself to have the things I like too and to enjoy things.
Trying to decide who to be in my 70s. Keep searching!
Easy new thing for knitting is socks. Once you have had handmade sock you will never go back and knitring this is so fun.
Completely agree I mostly knit socks
I love your yarn box! It allows greater flexibility than yarn bowls , and a beginning woodworker could make a load of them for Christmas gifts to friends and family. I am glad you’re having fun with crochet. You are really focused and your work looks fairly consistent. I just wanted to recommend to you books by Edie Eckman, whose work is justifiably popular and you’ve probably seen it in your library. I also love the book. Stitch n Bitch crochet: the happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller. You’ll learn a mega ton of crochet techniques with just this one book, and the projects are interesting and attractive to non-grannies of the millennial variety.
yes! missed that style of content from you! really appreciate your super beautiful curated videos as well but 100% here for the more casual stuff too. was here for your personality for years
I started learning to crochet going into my 30th year (officially 30 as of last month) & it's been such a fun experience. I even started thrifting old sweaters and unraveling them to be able to use the yarn for my own projects.
Using old sweaters for yarn is such a cool idea!
So excited for the new chapter!! Glad to see new longform content from you, certainly missed you on here❤
I’ve been on a very similar journey lately. I’ve been picking up skills and hobbies that I used to be “scared” of, things I thought I couldn’t do, I thought I would fail at or that I thought people might even judge me for.
I have dabbled in a few crafts, but I’m now getting back into cross stitching, knitting and crocheting and hoping to learn new skills in those areas. I would love to decorate my home with things I’ve made myself or things I’ve upcycled. I think cross stitching and embroidery would be a nice way of renewing old things as well, like curtains or table cloths.
I’ve started reading again as well, I used to love reading as a kid but school took the fun out of it (I know I’m far from alone alone in that). I used to think reading was pointless and a waste of time unless you learnt something new, so I’m trying to rewire my brain around that. Reading can be just for fun too! ☺️
I love your crochet projects, the colors contrasted with the off-white look modern and fresh...and I like the ochre squares, a sort of little secret detail, on the sleeves. I had seen the blanket in your shorts and I must say I like the pale yellow centers of the flowers--again, it's modern and different looking
Thank you so much!
Hi Immy and your lovely community… this Boomer turned 60 last year and WoW… I made some changes. Firstly, let me just say, not to scare anybody, but the bod changes a lot around this age. It takes much more time and knowledge to stay on top of health at this age. Just sayin’. Then, I decided to go back to uni by doing some post-graduate courses online. The last time I attended uni was 37 years ago, back in the day of blackboards, lecture halls, microfiche and typewriters. Coloured highlighters were the new thing back in the 1980’s, and I thought they were the cat’s pyjamas! Digital learning has changed everything, and I am on a vertiginous learning curve. I aspire to have your tech skill set. I love learning new things too, and I can certainly say that I am on a massive learning journey. This high school sewing teacher is loving your hands-on DIY journey. I’m excited to see your passion, skills, projects, and most of all… your enthusiasm for making things. Thanks for this great update, I’m stoked or the next chapter. Ⓜary💕🧵🧶
I loved seeing your smile when you finished that cardigan! I've been knitting 2 years now and I tried to crochet last summer too.. now there is an unfinished granny square tote bag collecting dust because I know I won't like the final product anymore. Eh, we live and learn :)
You motivated me to try new skills in the skill itself. Heck, I can't do the Turkish cast on because i've been secretly avoiding it. Here's to finding joy in learning
OBSESSED with the cardigan! and can't wait to hear more about all the stuff you mentioned at the end, kids, a pet, buying a house...totally in the same boat and love ur perspective on life!
Excited to see more vlog style content from you! Have definitely missed it - this format is much more my cup of tea :) xx
whooooo! always a great day when you upload
I turned 29 a month ago and all I keep thinking is the things I want to learn and haven't learned yet and then I see you doing all these things that I am so curious about and I feel like I am not doing enough! 😂
"I am only going to be able to do that if I finally start" this resonated with me SO much!
I love your crochet cardigan, it is so hippy in the best way possible ! Well done ;)
😸I am going to be 41 this year and am trying to find myself. Most of my life has been given to raising my children. My oldest just turned 18. I will be starting a journey to finding who I am soon. Thank you for your channel I have only recently found your videos. :)
I very much understand your journey! I am 48 and my youngest is almost 16. I have always been a sahm and/or worked casual jobs around my kids' schedules. It's a very exhilarating, scary, heartbreaking, fun time of life. Hard to put it into words. =)
did not expect to see crochet content from you but so glad i am! would love to see more if you continue, and sewing would be interesting too. i appreciate the openned you have in exploring these important questions in your life, i'm 24 but in a similar transition/exploration part of my life
Once you get your quilt done if you have a large enough spot. You can put a spot of dye in the center of each yellow. You will have to let it sit to dry. However, as it is it is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your journey Immy. 🐄
I also wanted to say that you and your husband are a family. Please do not discount yourself or other childfree couples. You have created a warm and loving life together whether or not the two of you choose to add to your little family.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It was so creative to use a spinning chair as a ball winder. Your crochet projects look amazing!
I love these more unstructured, longer videos ☺️ the blanket is beautiful, and the hot water bottle cover is such a cool idea!
Loved this whole concept! My 30’s were (and still are) the best years of my life - Freedom from DV & a whole new life worth living 🎉
Looking forward to seeing your journey!
It makes me so happy and proud to see how you improve and learn new things ❤️ The blanket turned out so beautiful!
Love the blanket. My 11-year-old crochets and now I'm inspired to have him teach me.
Hi Immy! First off: I love your videos. They always feel authentic and I always end up learning something from the. The blanket is so pretty! And I really enjoyed this whole video, I like the casual style of it (although I also enjoy your more structured, themed ones). As far as rediscovering ourselves in our 30s goes: for me it is time to slow down a bit and not worry so much about the should. To figure out what is really important and focus on that, to find joy and do more of what lights me up.
I started knitting at 25, and mostly make garments 😊 27 now and might take up crochet too. Love the granny squares!
I love your crochet projects! the yellow details of the cardigan are just beautiful! 😊
Great video! I’ve missed your long form videos!! So glad they’re back
I very much like your cardigan! Kudos to you!
😀
I’m in my 50s and I still don’t really know what I want to do. 😅I guess the answer is there a different seasons of life and we all have different circumstances so changes are inevitable I’m just very conscious that not everyone has the gift of life even to this age so want to make the most of it. I’m a keen knitter and crocheter so enjoying seeing your adventures in this new craft .
Hi Immy, love the cardigan, it looks great! I feel you, I'm early thirties and feel that I'm rediscovering who I really am and what I want so I'm looking forward to this series. Just want to say I love your content and you've really inspired me to pick up new hobbies (currently knitting a scarf) so thanks!
Hi Emmy It's nice to see your reinventing yourself and learning some new skills. We think you're cardigan turned out great. Have you ever thought about going back to England and buying an English cottage in the countryside and having a great big garden and a dog running around?❤❤❤
🎉🎉 Immy I am so glad you’re back!! I hear you as another (?) millennial who got more into crafting/making physical objects. In the last 5 years, I started knitting, ceramics, cooking and gardening! I work a desk job and there’s something that feels more “real” (not sure what the best word is here, this was the best I could do) about creating a tangible object, it’s a different sense of satisfaction than writing code lol. I think the other thing that makes it enjoyable is having it be decoupled from needing to be “the best”… like I can just improve at my own pace and it doesn’t really matter if I am just mediocre at it, if that makes sense!
You are seriously making me want to pick up crochet with all of these cool projects! I do still have some crochet hooks I haven’t used yet…
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a number of years and have absolutely loved seeing all of your videos. The joy that you’re experiencing with your crafting is so heart warming and I can’t wait to see what you get up to this year! 🧶
Love this new format. Your creations are so inspiring!
Interesting topic about the experience in the UK vs North America. I’ve been a dental hygienist for 11 years and it’s very well known that here in Canada we give much more sedation and prescription meds, but to be completely honest we only hear that as a benefit. I’ve spoken to many people that grew up in the UK that said it hurt so bad and was much harder to recover there, but they’re ok coming here because they don’t feel pain. So it’s interesting to hear your perspective where that makes you a bit iffy. And I mean that genuinely, not in a passive aggressive or condescending way. I’m glad I heard you say that.
Your crochet work is beautiful and I would never have guessed that you were just starting out! The big game changer for me was discovering these large, plastic needles for sewing wool - I've had one for 5 years and it's perfect when I want to connect elements in a less bulky way or I can't reach somewhere with the crochet hook. I recommend it wholeheartedly! 😍
I want to thank you for getting me back into wild yeast and making sourdough bread. You making me want to do more. A lot of people have gotten away from making stuff. I'm 61 and I feel like an old dog learning to do a new trick. Thank you again......
Hi Immy! Wow, that cardigan is amazing, I've been wanting to try crochet for ages and so this was very inspiring. I'm turning 33 later this year and also feel like coming out of lock down was somewhat of a turning point for me. I left teaching and am really just finding myself post-burn out. My fiancé and I are hopefully looking to buy a house this year so there's all the change that comes with that too, but I am excited by how open my future feels now and what adventures await!
💚 I fondly remember going to buy fabric and yarn with my mom in my childhood, she made me a few dresses and lots of blankets for friends. She crocheted a blanket that was very similar to what you've got going on here. It was very challenging and not her first project, so this is really impressive. One of my male cousins is in this phase right now, uses a ton of variegated yarn and loves it. That sunburst yarn is gorgeous! The pandemic was a time where my family was recovering from tough stuff including housing insecurity so the isolation had been familiar to us already. I want to start a no-dig garden with native wildflowers, collect rainwater and make more of my pantry from scratch! Despite all my research and planning, sourdough + tempeh + tofu still seem so intimidating but I'd love to eliminate the waste and gain valuable skills. Have you heard of Azure Standard? They're great for buying pantry staples in bulk (25 or 50 lb bags of beans, grains, flour, etc. - generally the best organic pricing I've come across if that interests you), check them out, they may be a good fit for your lifestyle. ☮
I think your blanket is beautiful, Immy, and I love the colours, including the softer yellow. Well done! I am 60+, and this is bringing back memories of my crafting, back when I was in my 20s. Haven’t done any projects like that for years but I’m feeling inspired after watching you learning so many new skills. I’ve got a few items requiring repair, and I think I’d like to try embroidery to make the repairs attractive. Been watching for many years, initially because of my interest in living a sustainable life, but so enjoying all your content, structured and casual. Also, I adore your British accent.😊
I love this format, always happy when you have a new video ❤❤
I am turning 30 this year and can relate. I graduated college and had started working in the field I went to school for just before the pandemic hit. I no longer have the physical strength to do it anymore due to long covid. I have a different job now where my experience still helps out thankfully. I have been rediscovering myself and how to proceed in a very different place post pandemic. I have discovered that I love siting on my front porch with some coffee and my dog.
Your sweater is gorgeous! You should be very impressed with yourself! PS I’ve lived, or spent a good deal of time, in 6 western US cities (including LA) and driving in Denver is a special kind of challenging. I can’t even imagine adding on the complications of driving on the “wrong” side of the road. 🤯
Hi Immy, I just turned 30 this year and I can really relate to what you are saying. My husband and I got married almost 5 years ago and the pandemic hit at the very end of our honeymoon and when we managed to get home (we got stuck for a few weeks) life was very different to how it was before. We have since bought our first home and I am finally starting to feel settled. I feel I am at a stage of life where I also want to learn more skills (really relate to your comment about millennials and learning after university) and also working out what I want this next stage of my life to look like. Embracing elements of slow living and leaning into the things I enjoy like gardening, climbing and creative hobbies that I haven’t made time for over the last few years. Thank you for sharing! 🌷
Love both the cardigan's and the video's length, thank you Immy.
I love the cardigan! So impressed by your dedication to push yourself (and enjoy!) new things. I'm going to be 40 at the end of this year and as I enter a new era I share similar explorations. I was a csuite executive in my 20s and 30s in Toronto and always imagined I'd be a career girl my entire life. I got married 5 years ago, moved to a small town, and now have a 2-year-old and run my own business in my field part time. Looking forward to your explorations!
I really liked this video Immy! I thought it was very cozy to watch you crochet (I am a big knitter myself), and I really like the more casual feel of this video. I am totally here for this series and everything you are going to discover! I am 35, and I really feel so much better now about pretty much everything in my life than I did, when I was in my 20's. I feel more confident, I know what matters to me, and what is not important/serving me in my life, I prioritise my health way more - basically I just feel that I am living in accordance with my own true values, which is an amazing feeling. So I think the 30's will have a lot of great things to offer you too ☺
Hi Immy! I really enjoyed the way your videos have evolved over the past few years. It feels like you've let a bit more of yourself shining through, and I enjoy the cooking, baking and gardening. I too am on the self-discovery after 30 train. I am retraining as a gardener after having focused on academics for most of my life. I have a master's degree, but my office job made me miserable, so the bit about schools focusing mostly on academics and not practical skills really resonated with me. Even the arts and crafts classes at school focused so much on process, that some of the joy of making stuff with yours hands was lost as a result. I've heard say that your thirties are all about rediscovering the things you loved doing as a teenager, and that's also kind of how it was for me. Being outside and creating things gives me this instant sense of accomplishment that sending e-mails and making deadlines all day simply does not. I'm very excited about the sewing content too, since I love sewing and it really made me think about what I actually like to wear and how much work goes into it. Also, being able to make trousers that are perfectly tailored to me is such a confidence booster. Doing your own alterations and repairs too are such great ways to be more sustainable with clothing. I really recommend taking a sewing class when you've learned some of the basics, because that really leveled up my skills, and it taught me how to fit a pattern to my body. Everything I make looks a lot more professional now, and I have a basic trouser pattern that fits me perfectly so I don't have to waste time or fabric making mock ups. (As you can tell, trousers were the thing I couldn't find ready made, at least not ones that fit me the way I wanted them to). Anyway, I'm excited to see what comes next!
Hello Immy.
Sure I made it to the end. Both cardigan and blanket look amazing. I like the 2 yellow squares on the sleeves.
My thirties are very turbulent despite the pandemic: we bought an old farmhouse with my boyfriend, had 2 miscarigies and recently gave birth to my second son 😍 in all of this I upped my sourdough game by 10levels despite using 50yo gas oven. Fermentation projects I cant get enough! Kombucha, yogurt, sourkraut, 3or 4 kinds of kimchi, miso and YOU inspired me to get a tempeh starter and give it a go! It was delicious, cant wait to make second batch with my misteps corrected.
Hobby I got back to was picking up a sketchbook, pencil, brush and watercolours 🤩 However I didnt get much time to indulge in it. Thanks to othet content creator I found a way to do it little by little.
Thanks for all your videos. The pandrmic ones were great too and I am looking forward this series as well.
Bye Dita 🇨🇿
I clicked so fast and only in the intro 😂😂😊
It feels so good to be back xx
I missed your longform content and also yeay for some more casual content! Turning 30 in a month, moved to another country shortly before the pandemic and can relate to a lot of what you're talking about feelingwise, so I'm excited for this new series! :)
I loved turning 30! (32 now) I feel more confident in myself than I ever have and that makes me feel braver to try new things. Love to see you trying crochet, it's one of my favorite hobbies! 🧶
Wow!! Your cardy looks great for a first time and so cosy too. It’s interesting to hear you talk about rediscovering your self in your 30’s. As a woman in her 50’s I’d say this is a thing that will happen to you through each decade of your life. I definitely feel more liberated and more myself as I’ve gotten older. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and have lived watching your videos evolve and follow you along on your adventure to America xx
Dear Immy, so happy to see another great video! I´m 38, living in US, Atlanta (lived in Czech Republic, Austria, Germany ...) so I do understand the "driving issues" here :-) I have twins and honestly I think I learned a lot through them too - not only cooking and baking (which I really enjoy) but started embroidery and water-color painting as well. Somehow needed something just for me. Wish you all the best!!! Pavlina
Hey, Immy! I’ve been following your channel for a very long time now and I love seeing you discover yourself more because I’m also at that stage in my life. I just turned 30 last year and I think some of the main things I’ve learned about myself is that I’m confident in myself (I was painfully shy and had no confidence as a teen/early adult), and that has opened so many doors for me. I learned that I’m actually an extrovert and I love meeting new people and making friends. And I’ve become way more interested in being involved in my community in the last few years. In terms of skills, I’ve become more crafty with sustainably decorating our home during the seasons and hadn’t realized I enjoyed that. I also learned that love cooking in my mid-20s, and now I’m developing an interest in baking bread, fermenting, and I want to learn to forage. Personally, I think being in my 30s is the best!
Love love love your cardigan. You did a wonderful job!
The blanket is beautiful as well.
Beth
Watching from Brasil 💚💛 Loving how you talk about this new chapter of your life, hope it's special. (Sorry, don't know if I used the right time of the verbs, haha)
Thank you so much! Your language is perfect xx
Beautiful wearable blanket~💕 (play with making and attaching hoods to your projects~😍)
You're awesome, I love seeing what your up to~🥰 thanks for sharing~♡
I love this style of content ❤ I just convinced myself to start knitting on a whim while at good will (I was some bamboo knitting needles, yarn, and a book for beginners and took it as a sign) and am really inspired by your attitude about learning! Thanks for the encouragement after my first 2 hours of messing up and restarting over and over 😂
You are just remarkable! I am so impressed with all the stuff you're making, and your perseverance. I mean, you are starting so many projects, complicated ones too, and actually *finishing* them! Well done. As for me, I'm starting to get back to some things I used to really enjoy and get excited about before I fell in the dark hole of divorce. I've been cooking from some cookbooks I haven't used in years, and getting back to making some homemade natural beauty items, like body butters, salves, lip balm. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy that. Maybe I'll get back to knitting again... I haven't done that in several years, but you are inspiring me! (PS, I'm almost double-30 now, but young at heart!)
🐙 - there, I finally made it to the end of the video! Very cute sweater! You are on a roll!
I love your cardigan it looks so good
omg that cardigan is goals!!! so looking forward to seeing your sewing journey!! I have made costumes, bags, and toys in the past but making clothing is also a goal of mine!
Wow! You're very dedicated to make a blanket and cardigan! I'm looking forward to more videos like this❤
So excited to see you uploaded!!
Hi Immy! I’m compelled to leave a comment cuz I also rediscovered my love for string art this year, in my 30s! It’s meditative, and helps reduce my social media time as well. Totally with you on this journey XD
There is something about the factory of life that leaves little room for passion projects or personal exploration. Once out of education even further or higher education it’s like that’s it. You have your career chip and there’s no deviating. All of that is of course a construct and that’s something you definitely explore when you’re at an age of reflection or life forces you into reflection. I think the pandemic accelerated that for a lot of people. I definitely share your excitement for new skills that foster independence.
Wow!! Just wow!! Your cardigan is phenomenal! I want one xxx❤❤
I could not LOVE your channel any more!!❤ been a long-time subbie but I am resonating with your current chapter SO much!✨
Immy!! I've been following you for so long now and I always loved your content, but I've been really into longer - chatty videos lately. Not necessarily vlogs but I miss those too! I really like this style of video you made and look forward to these each month ❤
🧶🧶🧶🫖🫖🫖 Emmy - the cardigan is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! I am so jealous! I can no longer crochet due to arthritis so I shall live vicariously through you! 😁 I’m so excited to see your videos! I’ve always loved watching you - I miss seeing your old kitchen but I love seeing your cooking videos! And your voice is so soothing - you should really think about becoming an audio book reader - I would listen to any/every book you read (no matter the subject). Looking forward to future “sit downs with a cup of tea” from you! Blessings & Hugs! 🧡🌻
I love your sweater. Beautiful!!!! This will only be the start for you.
Lovely 🌹 video 🎥 Immy. Please do more content like this 😊 - I'm also learning to crochet 🧶 this year's and joined a crochet 🧶 club. I have attended two classes as I joined a few weeks ago.
🧶 Immy! I have to say this - for at least the last week I have been looking for your new videos. And it's new today🥳
I'm in my mid 20's and I feel like my journey to find what I really enjoy doing in my spare time is beginning. Thanks for sharing your experiences ❤ also, background music - 10/10
Hey Immy. Your beautiful cardigan creation really inspires me, but I don't think I could ever find the patience for crochet. Talking about loss of independence really resonates with me too. I left the UK in 2017 to move to my (now) husband's country on the other side of Europe. I lost all of my confidence when I moved. Driving was a huge one for me too for the same reasons you said, but I also moved to a country where English is the minority language. My late 20s/early 30s journey so far has mostly revolved around learning the local language & working on my confidence to use it. I also had to side-step in my career, but was lucky to fall into something I really love. I'm coming to the end of a 2 year stint on mat leave and so excited to get back to work. Looking forward to hearing more about where your journey takes you. 💜
The cardigan and blanket look SO good!!!❤
Love the cardigan! It looks amazing ❤ I’m actually making the same daisy blanket, but a smaller version for a baby. It’s so cool seeing your crochet projects
🦄I loved the blanket and jacket. Looking forward to your future vlogs.
I love a long format chat video from you! The cardigan turned out gorgeous
I've gone the other direction and moved from Canada to the UK in late 2019, then also had the pandemic and feel like I've lost independence/myself a bit for the same reasons you mentioned
This is amazing! I've been crocheting for a while and it's really so therapeutic. I'm 36 and recently left my corporate job. I feel like I'm rediscovering myself again after kids and always being "on" in my corporate career. In the last 6 months I've learned how to make YT videos, launched a blog, learned Pinterest marketing, and outside of the home I became a substitute teacher and have been learning that. It's amazing how much time we waste feeling like we don't have time when we can accomplish so much in a short while. Stay curious friend! New Subscriber here. ❤️
I love the crochet videos!! I'm recently learning to crochet because I also wanted to learn new skills and create rather than consume. I would love to know more about what patterns you use and yarn you use/where you get it. I've been trying to thrift yarn or use shopgoodwill but find it hard to get lots of one color while staying low waste/sustainable. I'm praying for your discernment on the upcoming decisions and for your personal consolation/fulfillment!
I’m loving the new format! The projects look great! Oh my goodness you’ve put in so much work. I must admit the last couple of weeks I’ve been checking the channel for a new video and wondering if you were ok. The answer was = yes! Just crafting away! lol 😆✌️🌱
Love your blanket ❤
Aw I want to pick up my crochet hook again now. A great video.
Love the blanket jacket 😊
Hearing about you rediscover yourself in your 30s is so inspiring. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new. I'm 28 and am starting a balcony garden by trying to grow veggies in pots. It's really becoming a hobby ❤
Love the blanket and cardigan! Thank you for the inspiration to start crafting again. Hugs from Northern California!!!💗
I am here for this content! I've always loved your sustainability efforts, and looking at where you and I both are in life, more things are similar. I moved to a different country for a partner, have to rediscover myself somewhere that's not where I grew up, with people who haven't been around for the majority of my life. Plus, I love knitting. All in all, I am here to cheer you on and enjoy joining your journey. ❤
👏😊 you are inspiring!
Hi Immy, I am always so pleased to see more people embrace crochet. It is a craft that can literally only be done by hand and knowing this it always makes me cringe when I see so much of it for sale in high street stores, for such little money. Your cardi looks amazing! I'm now tempted to make one myself! ❤👏
You’re such a creative soul! I’m in my thirties myself and I have similar thoughts about school and rediscovering the idea of learning new things now :) I’ve tried crocheting and punch needling, now I’m kinda into drawing & painting :) I loved this video, you seem to be comfortable, casual and happy to share all of your projects with us :))
Love your projects! Look forward to your garden.👩🌾
Love the mustard color squares. Beautiful
