A mindful purchase from 2025. Beautiful yarn hand dyed by @lolabeanyarnco.com #goodtrouble #paletteofresistance. My amateur photography skills don’t do this yarn justice. #yarn #knitting #knitsky #knittingfeed #johnlewis

Have Georgia on my mind. Literally. Knitting a hat with @lolabeanyarnco.com and shaking my fist in the direction of the FBI’s illegal raid on Fulton County voting records.

Nakia!!! 😍 Also, I MISS YOU!!!

Thank you so much!!! 🖤

Shadow, the newest limited edition Adella Q Maker’s Sling, is a collaboration between myself and @dellaqbags. It’s available now for preorder at lolabeanyarnco.com.

A charcoal black Adella Q Maker’s Sling bag with an adjustable crossbody strap rests on the ledge of a brightly painted upright piano. The textured canvas bag features front pockets with metal snaps and grommet details. The piano artwork shows a colorful coastal scene with blue sky, clouds, water, trees, and buildings, creating a vivid contrast to the bag’s dark, muted tones.

Black and gray are the quiet foundation of every palette. Black anchors color with depth and strength, while gray allows colors to speak without shouting. It tempers intensity, adds nuance, and reminds us that balance is often more powerful than saturation. 🧵

Shadow is not about standing out. It is about being held. A bag created for the work you carry and the quieter parts of yourself that deserve care.

Inside, the details matter. A built in yarn feeder, practical pockets, gunmetal hardware, and a removable yarn cutter clipped at the top zipper so it is always within reach. Nothing extra. Nothing missing.

Shadow is made for makers moving through full days. For knitters, crocheters, and creatives stitching moments of calm into errands, waiting rooms, school pickups, and dye days. The size inclusive adjustable strap allows it to be worn across the chest, keeping your hands free and your tools close.

This Maker’s Sling reflects quiet intention. Crafted in unwaxed charcoal canvas with all black accents, it marks the first time dellaQ has offered this combination. The result is a bag that feels steady, purposeful, and deeply considered, rooted in shared values of function and real life design.

These are the colors I return to when everything else feels like too much. They do not ask me to explain myself or show up as anything other than I am. They allow me to move quietly, to stay grounded, to keep going without spectacle. Over time, they’ve become a form of reassurance.

Gray exists in the space between certainty and softness, reminding us that most of life is not defined by extremes, but by overlap.

Black and gray are often misunderstood. They are called heavy, muted, or empty, when in truth they are full of depth. Black offers protection. It steadies the nervous system and gives the eyes somewhere to land.

The love we give to our children, our communities, our creativity, and ourselves. Love that is soft and quiet. Love that is bold and unwavering. Love that endures.

This collaboration is inspired by love, not just the romantic kind, but the deep, layered, everyday love that shows up in so many forms. The love between friends who hold you steady. The love found in chosen family.
