Instagram post 2196188976838880831_1560871318 Friends, I got an early holiday gift from @vogueknitlive , telling me that my first-ever VKL class is SOLD OUT. That means that 140 of you will be turning your knitting and crochet into a meditation, and bringing the kindness in your hearts out into the world. 💕What a gift you’ve given me, and we’re not even there yet! I can’t wait to be in your beautiful presence. And for those of you who can’t make it, I’m working on a way for you to be able to do knitting meditation in your own home. Stay tuned, and thank you all for the blessing of YOU. 🙏💕 #knitting #crochet #meditation #medknitation #kindness #vogueknittinglive #vogueknittinglivenyc #vklive #knitstagram #crochetersofinstagram
Instagram post 2193959513128608431_1560871318 This batch of #kindbomb hearts went to @integralyoganyc , where I learned everything that went into the 30-day program in Yoga Mind. When we were taught about Maitri, kindness, I wanted to extend kindness in more ways than silently wishing others well. And as you may know by now, I’m a little addicted to knitting and crochet 🧶 These little hearts are a wonderful way to remind people of the powerful kindness that lives in all our hearts. 🙏💕 #kindness #positivethoughts #maitri #yogamind #knitting #crochet #knittersofinstagram #crochetersoftheworld #yarnlove #yarnbomb #love
Instagram post 2192397322566999965_1560871318 Friends: The first episode of the MedKNITation Podcast is live! 💕 In this episode, I explain how knitting and crochet can be a meditation; take you through some MedKNITation Moves, yoga-based exercises for people who sit a lot (would that be people who knit and crochet? 🤔), and more. It's a little hint of the monthly MedKNITation sessions I lead at Knitty City, and what I'll be teaching at Vogue Knitting Live NY in January. 💕
It's also a small sample of the downloadable audio MedKNITations I'll have on my website, coming soon. Follow the link in my bio to the blog post with the podcast link. Enjoy! #knitting #meditation #medknitation #crochet #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #knitstagram #crochethearts #podcast #knittingpodcast #yarnlove #yoga
Instagram post 2191555933121746332_1560871318 Good morning 💕 As some of you know, I started making these tiny yarnbomb hearts as a way to remind people that kindness is their true nature—like a superpower! Use your superpower today and share the kindness in your heart. Kindness makes everything better. 💕 I’ll be giving these Kind Hearts out at Vogue Knitting Live in my MedKNITation class, and basically yarnbombing kindness everywhere I can at the conference 😻 And did you know that people are making Kind Hearts and giving them out in Australia, the UK, and Italy? It’s a kindness movement! To make your own, visit my website for crochet and knitting patterns. And whether you make some or not, remember your superpower and #shareyourkindheart 💕 #kindness #love #peace #crochet #knitting #knitstagram #crochetersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #kindhearts #yarnlove #positivevibes
Instagram post 2190130776763140522_1560871318 💕Cyber Monday, Black Friday, and all the other shopping days in this holiday season tell us that gifts = love. This Kind Heart is a reminder that YOU are the gift. 💕 If you can buy all the things, great (remember small businesses rock too!). But there is no greater gift than your time, your attention, your handmade present, you being present, YOU. 
You are the gift. 💝 #kindhearts #kindness #cybermonday #blackfriday #mondaymotivation #youarethegift #love #shopping #youareimportant #yourethebestgiftever
Instagram post 2188867749564681307_1560871318 💕Who got Kind Hearts over the past few Thanksgiving days?
1. A woman on the train who asked what I was making 💕
2. A pit bull named Rosie (collar embellishment) 🐶 
3. Six children, three teenagers, and four moms on the train home (I can now crochet really fast!)—nice to see the kids abandon their phones and tablets to watch me make hearts 💕
4. The guy stuck in the Grand Central Station information booth on Thanksgiving night 💕
5. Two kids on the subway 💕💕
6. A woman on another subway who looked reaaaaallly interested in my yarn 😻
7. The southbound 5 train (random yarnbomb) 🧶
8. My friend Pinto at Whole Foods, because I love her blue lipstick and sunny smile 💙
9. The lonely-looking teenager on the Path train 💕
10. The barrista who made sure my Americano was decaf. ☕️ As much as people seem delighted by these small crochet yarn hearts, their smiles have filled my own heart with such joy. I started making these hearts to share kindness, but I didn’t know I’d be getting so many gifts. 🙏💕💕💕 #kindhearts #kindness #goodvibes #bekind #love #crochet #knitting #crochetersofinstagram #knitstagram #yarnbomb #yarnbombing #yarnlove #makersmovement #makesomeonehappy

Instagram post 2186762860114153801_1560871318 Giving thanks makes me happy every day, and I have so much to be grateful for. I want to thank everyone who has said and written such lovely things about Yoga Mind and Cherries in Winter. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of my crazy little yarn heart kindness project. It's true that kindness can change someone's day, even their life; I know, because you've all been so kind to me. I have so much gratitude for all of you—every day. 🙏💕💕💕 #kindness #gratitude #grateful #givingthanks #thanksgiving #kindness #kindhearts #happythanksgivng
Instagram post 2185940022486442802_1560871318 A heart with a kind message at the Cortlandt Street subway stop, NYC. I started leaving tiny crocheted hearts with uplifting messages in various places to share more kindness in the world, and I called it the Tiny Hearts Project. 💕 Then I found out there's already a Tiny Hearts Project, which is dedicated to fetal cardiac screening. A very important organization! 💕 I don't want to step on their hashtag or name, so I'm going to switch to #kindhearts . 💕 It doesn't matter what they're called, only that we make them, attach a few kind words to them, and get them out there to people who need them. Kindness can accomplish so much, and it makes us into the best people we can be. 💕 The kindness is spreading: little crocheted and knitted hearts with kind messages are now being made in Australia and the UK! I can't wait to see where these kind hearts go next. 💕 #kindhearts #knitting #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #knitstagram #yarnbomb #kindness #kindwords #yarnlove #youhaveabeautifulsoul
