About

Thank you for visiting 26 Donuts! I'm a knitter, crocheter, and donut connoisseur, living in Pittsburgh with my boyfriend and our cat Juniper. I learned to crochet in 2007 because I wanted to make amigurumi, and a few years later I picked up knitting. My hands are almost always busy, and I love to share what I've made and what I've learned along the way.

Why "26 Donuts"?

Once upon a time, I had a job where I worked extra hours in exchange for a day off every other Friday. To ease the pain of those Fridays where I did have to be at work, I got myself a donut. A donut every other week adds up to twenty-six donuts in a year. I don't have that job any more, but I carry on my Donut Day tradition.

Those twenty-six donuts are more than just a sugary indulgence: they're a little spot of sweetness to anticipate and enjoy. Life is happier, I think, when you can find those simple things that make everything a little bit better.
