The seed of DesiredKnits was planted in 2002 when a grandmother taught her granddaughter how to crochet her first potholder. Coming from generations of crafters in the art of crochet, knitting, and weaving, DesiredKnits is a manifestation of legacies of strong, creative, and Divine women, who walked through this world standing firm in their truth and their identity. As a woman and a Woman of Color, I have often struggled with feeling enough. Being good enough, brave enough, capable enough, etc. It wasn’t until my journey of learning to love myself and creating my own path to stand in my authenticity like the phenomenal women who came before me, that I was able to identify my value by breaking old beliefs through positive affirmations. Positive affirmations were introduced to me by a soulsister, who empowered me to begin speaking life and positivity over myself like I would a friend. “I AM” are the two most powerful words you can utter, because whatever comes after them connect to our inner beliefs about ourselves and will eventually be reflected in our actions. With DesiredKnits, my goal is to create items that are inspired by positive affirmations to both cultivate a shift negative self talk that impacts our lives daily, and to empower others to see themselves as the light beams that they are and to continue to spread this light to others. I AM excited to share my craft and inspire a community of people to speak life over others as well as themselves.
