As the year comes to an end, it's the perfect time to reflect on the journey I've been on. Whether it was a year of challenges or triumphs, each experience has shaped me into the person I am today. I want to take a moment to reflect on the past year with gratitude and appreciation for all I have accomplished.

What were the highlights of the year?

Launching my website and expanding my studio were the year's biggest highlights. I poured my heart and soul into my website and studio expansion, making them the biggest highlights of the year. 

Also, I released 29 new designs, 6 box clubs, and 53 Patreon exclusive patterns. I was privileged to be a guest designer at Stitch in London for 2 years in a row. 

I collaborated with the amazing UK and international businesses. 

How did you grow and evolve?

Reflecting on the growth over the past year, I expanded my possibilities, learned a new skill, or conquered a fear. Embracing personal growth fuels my recognition of inner strength and resilience.

I also want to thank everyone who joined my PATREON in 2024. The support I received allowed me to create and share exclusive content, unique projects, and work behind the scenes. 

You can now gift my Patreon membership to friends, family, and anyone else you want to invite into our space!

Your gift helps grow our community and support my work while giving you and your friend one more thing to talk about. Plus, you don't need to deal with shipping or wrapping.

What lessons did you learn?

Always follow your heart, work at your own pace, and never give up.

What are you grateful for?

Gratitude is a powerful force that brought light and positivity into my life. I'm very grateful for my family, who stands behind me 100%. They believe in me and cheer me on no matter what crazy idea pops into my head. As I look back on the year that has passed, I remember that every experience has contributed to my growth and journey. I embrace the lessons learned, celebrate the victories, and carry the spirit of gratitude into the new year ahead.

The best is yet to come! I step into the new year with an open heart and a mindset full of possibilities. 

Much love, 

Yas
