🎬 Ever wonder what it really looks like behind the scenes of a boudoir shoot? Or how to own your confidence like a queen? Or… how I make crochet look like dark magic? 😏
All of that (and sometimes me being ridiculous) is on my YouTube channel.

I can’t post my posing reels anywhere else—Facebook hates me, TikTok banned me, and Instagram… well, let’s just say, they don’t get it.

But I can post them on YouTube.

There are two common ways to start your crochet projects.

-was the slipknot
-the magic ring

Knowing both helps you be prepared for any tutorial.

Practice until you can do it from memory and do not need the video tips anymore.
