Stitched With Love: A Mother-Daughter Crochet Journey in Bali
One of the proudest things as a parent is watching your kids step into their own creativity — and this project with our amazing girl, Lola, is one I’ll treasure forever. Together we worked for hours (and hours!) on these crochet jackets, but every decision was hers. From choosing the bright, bold colours to the way each hexagon came together, Lola was the creative director from start to finish. I just got to be her extra set of hands along the way. Crochet isn’t just about yarn and stitches — it’s about slowing down, being present, and creating something that holds memories in every loop. These cardigans aren’t just jackets; they’re a reminder of patience, teamwork, and the joy of making something side by side. So if you spot us wandering the streets of Bali in our bright, hexagonal crochet cardys, you’ll know the story behind them. A mum-and-daughter project stitched with love, laughter, and more than a few late-night “just one more row” moments. Good job, Lola — you’ve made something incredible. And I couldn’t be prouder. #CrochetWithLove #ProudMumMoment #FamilyCreativity #HandmadeInBali #CrochetCardigan #BrightAndBeautiful #CraftingMemories #SlowMadeStyle #FamilyProjects #GoodJobLola
One of the unexpected joys of traveling as a family is finding time to slow down and create together — and for us, that meant picking up crochet hooks in the heart of Bali. What started as a simple idea to try something new turned into a beautiful, slow-made journey between mother and daughter.
Our daughter, Lola, took the lead on this project, designing vibrant hexagonal crochet cardigans that reflect not only her bold and colorful spirit but also the warmth of our Bali experience. Every color choice, every stitch — Lola called the shots. As her mum, I was simply the assistant, there to help bring her vision to life, stitch by stitch.
Crochet gave us more than cozy cardigans. It gave us late-night bonding sessions under ceiling fans, quiet afternoons on our villa porch, and moments of patient teamwork that we’ll carry in our hearts long after the trip. These jackets became more than garments — they are woven with love, laughter, and shared creativity.
So if you happen to spot two bright, handmade cardigan-clad adventurers strolling through the markets of Ubud or sipping coconuts on the beach in Seminyak, just know: there’s a story in every stitch. It’s a reminder of the magic that happens when you mix travel, creativity, and the simple joy of making something with someone you love.
Well done, Lola. You’ve created something truly special — and this proud mum couldn’t be happier.
