With the transition from EB Knits to Bellchase Ruby, I can enjoy knitting and my other passions for me, with no pressure to produce for anyone or anything else. And, yet, I will be able to share my love of certain small businesses, share their products in my shop. And every once in a while, I might feel the urge to offer handmade items made by me, as well!

This year I'm adding purposeful and eco-friendly products from companies that I believe in into the shop and up first are a variety of bags from Eco Bags! Eco Bags prioritizes fair living and wage practices for their workers and their products are made from cotton, often organic or recycled, which aligns well with my focus on ethical and eco-friendly accessories. Eco Bags bring unique products that are environmentally-conscious. I love writing blog posts about the latest simple eco-friendly tips that I've discovered and now tested out a variety of bags, found ones I love and you can grab these plastic-free products here in the shop now!

The price point of this hat is exclusive for this beanie only at this time.

It’s beanie season! Now that it’s September, the calendar has officially turned to Fall, at least on my social media feeds - not so much the temperature, but we can dream of those cool Autumn days, right? And it’s only a matter of time before the weather comes around. These are my favorite hats I’ve made to date, to be honest with you! These beanies are made with 100% luxurious wool and they look incredibly high end as well!

The Office Wrap Shawl … the most popular handmade fall accessory I’ve seen on social media all year long! Wow, this took over my Facebook feed and it is wonderful and cozy so the recognition and popularity is well deserved. My cousin was the first person to ever show me this shawl in mid-July so I quickly capitalized on its popularity, found the pattern (Perfect Pockets Shawl by Knot Yourself Out), and opened up a preorder on my website with estimations of the amount of yarn and time the wrap would take to complete.

Not only is it a colorful and fun design, but it’s also wildflower seed paper. That means they’re a decorative addition to your order that you can plant and will sprout flowers! Yes, for real!

100% of sales from the Friendship Bracelets will be donated to Anti-Racism Daily. The original Friendship Bracelets turned out so well and are such a quick and relaxing project, I wanted to grab more scraps and continue making accessories like these. So I grabbed some thinner yarn scraps and tried out a different style: braid and fishtail bracelets. The first set of bracelets I made for myself and my boyfriend and he even liked it and asked for a few for his family! So I thought this may work.

This sun hat started off as a personal project to protect my skin against the heat of summer. I’ve never had a sun hat, but have always admired them and now that I’ve been crocheting more and more, I decided I was finally ready to tackle a sun hat. I absolutely love how it turned out, too! I used raffia yarn for this project, which is actually sustainable and biodegradable and made from wood fibers.

Are you seeing the tie dye trend circling Instagram and the fashion circuit as much as I am these days? I feel like I’m seeing even more do-it-yourself tie-dying now, too, since kids are out of school and parents are looking for fun activities to do with them. With at the back of my mind, I’ve been seriously researching dying my own yarn for awhile now, but have been too intimated to pull the trigger. So for my very first yarn dying experience I grabbed some t-shirt yarn and an all-in-one tie dye kit and got to work!

Given that June is Pride month, I really wanted to focus specifically on an LGBTQ+ organization, but I did not want to disregard the current climate and support of the Black Lives Matter movement. And upon further research and recent news stories, the number of trans women and men killed (not only by police, but by others as well) is staggering. In honor of these individuals, I feel compelled to bring their stories to light and help in any small way I can to bring justice for transgender individuals.

I’m stoked to share my latest collection with you all, finally! With being forced to be inside as a result of the pandemic, I transitioned to creating home decor and accessories that we can all use right now. And baskets were the perfect start because I we needed a few for our own home and hopefully you love them enough to incorporate into your home as well!

I focus solely on using eco-friendly yarns and this means continually seeking and experimenting with new yarn fibers from naturally and ethically sourced wool to organic and upcycled cotton to the latest fibers like lyocell, I have worked with and knit up a variety of fibers to determine which are the environmentally friendly, ethical and conducive to work with!

If you haven’t heard I started a YouTube channel earlier this year and it was a process! Honestly, the most challenging part was overcoming the fear of releasing more of myself out into the work. I’m a homebody and prefer to keep to myself for the most part, so I had to take a giant leap out of my comfort zone for this! But now I finally took the leap and started the YouTube channel and I love having another avenue to connect with others and share more about EB Knits and behind the scenes of the business.
