Our mission is to connect isolated elders to a larger community and
to warm hearts & shoulders with a sacred-reciprocity business model.
An artistic and cultural initiative devoted to beauty & belonging.
Ways to get involved:
Learn to CROCHET and join in the making!
RECOMMEND an elder.
VOLUNTEER and organize a half-day crochet.
DONATE wool, time, money or crochet hooks.
BUY a poncho from our online shop or in an in person pop-up sale!
JOIN our newsletter list for info about pop-ups and other events.
We support women, elders, and artists through creative empowerment and intergenerational connection.
A place where making and meaning coexist.
We create garments that carry the presence of the hands that made them.
Our works offer warmth, dignity, and connection.
Rooted in fair compensation, clear sourcing, and human connection.
Each item traces a visible line from material to maker.

Connecting with Elders
Our elders, many tucked away in assisted living facilities, are an under-recognized source of craftsmanship and care. Involving them in the creation of our ponchos fosters connection and allows each piece to be made with love, prayer, and purpose.
They are paid a stipend for each poncho they help create.
Art of Crochet
I love crochet. I don't like counting (other than the first row!) It regulates my nervous system as an active meditation while I create beauty.*Fun fact... there are no crochet machines to replicate the hand-stitch of crochet. There are knitting machines galore!
