Hi, I’m Macie!

I live in Seattle with my dog, Levi, and work full-time in solar and construction. When I’m not solarizing the city, you can usually find me poking around junk shops, reading nonfiction, diving into DIY projects, or knitting (shocker).

I’ve been knitting since 2007: for myself, for friends, under desks, in therapy, during lectures, through joy, and chaos (a.k.a. grad school). There’s something deeply satisfying about turning a single strand of yarn into something beautiful and useful. It grounds me, challenges me, brings me joy, and I want to share that feeling with anyone ready to pick up some needles.

That’s what this space is all about. Learning to knit can feel overwhelming at first, but I’m here to make it less intimidating and a lot more fun. Through tutorials, tips, and show-and-tell, I’ll help you build skills and confidence, no matter your starting point.

Questions are always welcome (especially the “easy” ones). I hope you’ll join the Two Balls crew and start stitching your way to your next challenge.
