With Ease is a sideways asymmetrical triangle shawl with an all-over curvy lace motif.

“Ease” was my word of the year last year, and it helped me make some amazing changes to my life. For this re-release, I asked myself “what is the most important thing that I’ve learned to do with ease?”

I can say 100% that it’s been learning to say “no.” Which is absolutely just a
way to say that I’ve learned to put up some good, easeful boundaries.

People often say that “no” closes doors, but in my experience it’s helped open up the door to me not being exhausted all the time. Allowing me to put energy into my own projects and ideas. And for that I am damn thankful.

As with all my for-pay patterns if you’re interested in one of my patterns and you find yourself low on funds - please feel free to send me a message. I’ll be happy to gift you a copy!

As someone who has been low-income most of my life it is important to me to be able to make my designs accessible to folks in tight financial situations! It’s also important for me to be able to keep designing accessible to myself by charging money for my patterns :)
