Description from YouTube
This week I’m sharing four fresh finishes (including one with a funny little mistake I spotted on camera 😅), a brand-new start I’m doing with a friend 📚, and progress on several WIPs—including my full coverage pieces 🧵. I also show the new Nurge sit-on stand I splurged on and why it’s already helping my stitching speed 🙌. Plus I recap my weekly/monthly stats, give a quick health update, and reveal my August plans—like my Tiny Modernist 1,000-stitch challenge and a new start picked by a spinning wheel 🎡✨.
