How It All Began

Knits of Grace is a mission. A mission that began in the quiet moments, when life felt heavy and uncertain.

I first learned to knit in 2020, during a time when the world felt overwhelming. Work was stressful, everything felt chaotic, and I needed something—anything—that would allow me to disconnect. Knitting became that place. It required my full attention, each stitch and each row, giving my mind rest when nothing else could.

At the time, I had no idea what it would become.

Years later, someone very dear to me—someone who has been a true soul friend in my life—walked through a cancer diagnosis alongside his wife. As she began treatment, I felt called to do something, however small. I created a simple white blanket for her, knowing how deeply the body feels the cold during that time, and hoping it would bring even a small measure of comfort.

Looking back, that was the beginning… even though I didn’t know it yet.

In December of 2024, my world shifted again when my husband, Michael, was diagnosed with cancer.

As his condition progressed, the days became harder, and the nights even harder. With multiple fractured vertebrae, he could no longer rest in a bed. He would sleep wherever he could—chairs, sofas—any position that allowed even a few moments of relief. During that time, I returned to knitting, not just as a way to cope, but as something I could do for him.

I made a blanket for us to share.
Then I made one just for him—something he could carry from place to place, wherever he tried to rest.

From there, it grew through love.

I made blankets for our children in their favorite colors.
For my sister.
For those around me who needed comfort in their own seasons.

Then I heard about a young girl who was struggling to understand her father’s diagnosis—how scared she was, how deeply she loved him. As a mother, I understood that fear immediately. I had seen it in my own daughter. And so I made her a blanket.

That was the first blanket given under the name Knits of Grace.

As time went on, I continued to create for others facing illness, loss, and moments no one is ever truly prepared for. Each blanket made with the same intention—to bring comfort, to offer warmth, and to remind someone they are not alone.

Through it all, one truth remained constant:

God was present.

In the quiet moments.
In the uncertainty.
In the strength I didn’t know I had.
In the peace that would come, even if only for a moment.

What began as a way to cope became something more—something guided by faith, by love, and by a deep desire to serve others in their hardest seasons.

In March 2026, Knits of Grace was officially born.
But in truth, it had been forming long before that—in hospital rooms, in quiet prayers, in moments of fear, resilience, and grace.

Knits of Grace is not just about blankets.
It is about showing up for others in a way that is simple, human, and deeply meaningful.

It is about grit.
It is about perseverance.
It is about love that continues, even when life feels uncertain.

And above all, it is about grace—
the kind that carries us, sustains us, and reminds us that we are never alone.
