Crafted Narratives Chapter 1: Crafting Through Challenges with Stitchy Bitchy Patisserie

Crafted Narratives is a podcast that delves into the personal stories behind the world of knitting, crochet, fiber arts, and other forms of art and creative endeavors.

Each chapter features a different maker or crafter, sharing their unique journey, inspirations, and the meaning behind their work. It’s a celebration of creativity and connection, where every stitch tells a story.

My name is Rachel and I’m so glad that you’re here!

Today in Chapter 1 we are joined by my best fiber friend, Alaine, or @Stitchybitchypatisserie on Instagram.

In this chapter, we explore how Alaine's love for crafting became a lifeline during nursing school, the importance of size inclusivity in the crafting community, and the evolution of yarn preferences. We also discuss the joy of making, embracing mistakes, and finding creativity in every stitch.
