"The Offering" Cardigan {crochet vlog}

[@tw6570]

I just recently started crocheting again. I absolutely love your channel. I pay attention to coincidences and know when I start seeing them I’m on the right path. I to see crochet as part of my path. Blessings to you.

[@Junkinsally]

Remember that when you do any type of needle art you are paying homage to many, many generations of women who spun the thread /yarn, weaved the cloth and made the garments and household items that allowed our ancestors to survive and flourish. For me, I find that doing anything related to needle art makes me feel connected, not only to my direct ancestors that are no longer with me, also to our collective human ancestors who we do not revere enough in our highly mechanized world.

[@sagikerius]

What a great idea. I've been looking for something to tie my crochet to my practice with and that's a perfect idea. I love the silence part of the offering too. Thank you for sharing.

[@jessy5684]

Love it! Crocheted knot magic is a big part of my practice. Fantastic job taking a pattern and making it your own! Love the colors

[@megolson9888]

Well done. Thank you for sharing this with us. Idk if I’d have the patience for a project like this but the sentiments you shared in this are ones I agree with for sure. Again, thank you.

[@solavie8269]

On things I knit or crochet or while I am spinning for a spiritual purpose I will often write a short poem that states my intention and reflect on those words while I am creating. Your cardigan looks amazing!!!

[@jy.creator]

Creating something with focused intention - and in silence - is always an act that I can respect. I am reminded of the construction of things like robes and vellum for grimoires that had their own deliberate intentionality with this piece.

[@maefinella]

Absolutely beautiful Olivia. This video touched me. I have not crocheted in many many years and you have inspired me to pick up my hooks again and try this. Who doesn't need a cozy hooded cardigan right? Loved the bones for buttons... what a unique idea!

[@thehookupcrochetco.5369]

I love how you modified my Willa cardigan pattern and made it your own! Love how the project turned out ♥️

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Thank you SO much for your pattern. It was my first cardigan ever. 🫀

[@t.winter1486]

Not only is this a great devotional crochet project, but also a masterpiece of a video!

[@LaurelMoring]

I just started knitting and have seen adorable skull granny squares a few times now and am thinking I need to learn to crochet now too! Lol. The sweater is so perfectly you. Great job!

[@stoppickingurnose7852]

I’ve always loved the cozy feeling of some of your videos. More than a vibe in my opinion, you seem so determined and I have a lot of respect for your craft.

[@Soup.of.Mandrake]

I’m a knitter and I’m always thinking about how I can use my knitting towards my practice - you gave me something to think about. 😊

[@barbaracollins3015]

While watching this I thought the same and want to do more. I've knit a blanket of security and protection for my daughter but now I'm thinking of a tiny medicine bags for charms, herbs, etc...and knitted cardigan for myself.

[@sunandstorm]

I just picked up knitting not long ago. I’m still very new and haven’t ventured anything complex but this is definitely an intriguing idea

[@kimberlyporter9555]

Have you looked into Knot or Cord magic?

[@sunandstorm]

@@kimberlyporter9555 I haven’t but I’ve always been incredibly interested in Celtic knots, given my ancestry. I’ve looked into it a few times but never with any real commitment

[@Soup.of.Mandrake]

@@kimberlyporter9555 No, but thinking of it now I wonder why I haven’t thought of it before.

[@witch8794]

Meditating ones life In the calm of silence One stitch at a time~ Blessed Be🖤

[@PatriciaKanavy]

Wow! I love that you created the cardigan in meditative silence. The project idea, the folk practice, the video, all the elements and details… everything about this is NEXT LEVEL. 🖤💀🖤💀🖤

[@pomegranateandivy9833]

Yes, I agree with you! 💯

[@jessicasaccone7608]

As a crocheter as well as a witch, I am shook by your level of skill and dedication. The cardigan looks super cozy and warm!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Wow thank you! I haven’t made something in a very long time so it was definitely a while where I had to re learn a lot of my basics.

[@luzlikescats1668]

Lmao I love the Mormon temple on the gravestone. That's how you know you're from the mid southwest.

[@kwingofcrows869]

I’ve been wanting to start an ancestor altar and this reminds me a lot of my grandma who passed when I was younger. She would make little mats and things out of recycled plastic bags and I was looking for a way to honor her so I might try and learn how to make something like she did 💕

[@Braz3nRav1n]

Brilliant work dearling. Crafters always see the mistakes that no one else does. My motto is, never tell anyone what was wrong with it. "I planned it that way."

[@maggieragan7834]

This is so true!

[@amyvaccaro2761]

Very cool cardigan. Love that you did it all in silence. What a great way to revere the ancestors! ❤

[@thezombaecoven]

I love how the project turned out in the end. That skull pattern was the perfect choice.

[@Jessica-yi5ln]

I am speechless 🖤😍🖤 This was amazing 👏 Now you're ancestors can "hold" you when you wear it 🤗🤗🤗

[@abigailcross624]

Perfection is an illusion and something that we should never seek. It is stunning and its how it makes you feel that's important. It's been a long time since I crocheted and this makes me want to revisit that hobby 🧶🪡🧘‍♀️🥰

[@diannenixon621]

As a long time crocheter,(45+ yrs), I complement you on your work ❣️ Even after many years I still have a hard time with flaws in my work. I'm always working on a project when I'm catching up on KZbin, tonight I finished a hat for myself (I forgot to pack one) to wear here in Alaska. One thing I do when working on a project is work with intent, if it's for a specific person I try to infuse my love and protection into the stitches (including a stray hair or two of mine). Keep it up, it's a useful, mindful and stress busting craft. Bright Blessings to you 🌠

[@patrickfirgens6672]

So soothing and such a gorgeous cardigan!!! I LOVE IT????

[@katiel3264]

I've been in a crochet slump for the past few months, this has reignited my want to crochet! Thanks Olivia!

[@AnthonyKamler]

I haven't crocheted in a HOT minute, but I feel the need to go and get yarn brewing in me lol. I absolutely love this and I bet it is so nice and warm, 100/10. Also the clip of the kitties playing with the yarn made my whole week I almost cried from the cuteness lol, thank you as always for sharing!!!!

[@sndagnino]

Super cute! Crochet is such a powerful form of magic! It's therapeutic, stress relieving and if you put intentions as you work the stitches, you carry thar energy with you in the garment!! Great job, Olivia, I love it ❤️

[@littlepixiechic]

I live this! I had never thought to use a project like this in silence as an offering! I really like how you can make the mundane magical

[@kathyyork8230]

Complete silence is so powerful. In today's noisy society it is truly a gift. Your videos are really informative ,as well as inspiration. whenever I watch your videos I always feel refreshed and ready to create or update my practice or write something in my BOS . Thanks for sharing this. Insightful video 👍😁

[@marailic4587]

Beautiful 💕It turned out lovely. Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me. I've never thought to use knitting in my practice. A truly, beautiful way to connect to ancestors.

[@andyonline6654]

these mini vlogs heal the little witch in me and i love them sm :))))

[@cherieheyn6553]

Is there anything you cant do? Clever girl. I am always impressed by you. The way you designed the hood was brilliant and I know now I can do that too! Thank you and you Rock.

[@janethansen9612]

I love this so much. Many years ago I crocheted a large blanket which was a magickal exercise. Now it has some big holes and tears in it, I'm planning to wash it and unravel the wool so I can re-crochet it. But it seems to tell me something has changed since I first made it and I need to put some new energies into it.

[@taylorsalias4702]

I’m a crocheter too and while I don’t have the patience for a whole cardigan, this inspired me to make a skull square pouch/bag for my pendulum, crystals, and other supplies!

[@crypticmedicine]

This is brilliant! One of my first (and only, at the time) pieces of ritual gear was a wonderful shell-stitch crochet shawl, similarly done in silence in the circle I had painters-taped to my floor under a rug in my basement-room. I spent a lot of time alone and in silence as a child; I made it as a way to bring myself into a place of comfort and stillness with my death practice, and with the facts of my life. I think I was thirteen? It's comprised of sacred numbers and repetitions of a simple pattern-idea, and it was the hardest thing I'd done at the time... I still smile get teared up when I think of how much time has passed, how much of me it has seen and has passed through it. These projects, they carry a part of you, your own sacredness as well as the world's, woven together into the time and history of the piece. And there's a magic to crochet itself, as an art form-- about taking a single, long thread, looping it just so, adding time and skill and care, and then declaring that it has become something else because its nature in your life has changed -- I'll always be thankful for my grandmother for bringing that part of my craft to me on those silent Summer mornings, even if she had no idea she was doing so.

[@somnisveritas6465]

I love how your design came out, but lets talk about the other craftsmanship present. This video was amazing. I dont say stuff like that often either. I'm typing this on my sixth replay. The balance between your voice, the music, the video, and the sound is nothing short of spectacular, especially the outro. I could even put this on my playlist of things to trance out or fall asleep to. Simply mesmerizing. The quality of your shots, b roll, and editing has risen to the best YT has to offer IMO. I look forward to seeing how you push beyond these bounds.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

This just made my week, thank you! It means the world to me to hear this.

[@just_practicing]

this is an amazing idea for an offering! it turned out so cozy and spooky 💀 I just started learning to crochet a month ago and just recently began doing it as a way to connect with my passed grandmothers, hoping to do some big projects soon in dedication to them 🙏 thank you for the inspiration! 🖤

[@night_phoenix8669]

This has inspired me to learn how to chroche. I've been wanting to learn for a while now and I think this is my sign to stop procrastinating and finally lern.

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Great job! Yeah, when you are in silence, creating it is just a different and wonderful feeling. You sometimes even forget the time. Those types of days are very precious, and kind of glad they come once in a while rather than all the time because you appreciate it more.

[@charlespalella9489]

Crochet! I knew there was a reason I was more drawn to your videos; I also crochet. We are always so hard on our own work, but the beauty of what you created speaks for itself. Thank you for sharing this! I've shied away from sweaters but you made the process seem VERY accessible.

[@mindylawrence7357]

You did a magnificent job making this--and in silence! Although I don't crochet, I do bookbinding. This gives me the idea to bind in silence as a meditation. Thank you.

[@okay.keira.creative6694]

Doing the project in silence in so inspiring and a great offering. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me a lot to think about.

[@MaridithSmith]

I love that you shared your process as an inspiration to others. Your cardigan looks awesome. The hood and pockets were great additions

[@racheltall6096]

As a knitter, I love this idea!!! What wonderful inspiration!!

[@miah2400]

It's so reassuring watching someone crochet and make mistakes yet still have the end result turn out amazing! I make a lot of mistakes despite crocheting for a while now but I don't mind. Unlike knitting I feel like you can get away with more mistakes in crocheting and not have them be that noticable. Plus it adds a nice personal touch if you're following from a pattern.

[@darthfiende1]

Oh man, I've done half of one crochet project ever and now I'm telling myself I could do that.🤣 Love it!

[@sam-bewitched]

I'm a crocheter and love this, I think you've created something really beautiful. Thank-you for sharing xxx

[@rokelle_2012]

This was an amazing project! My mamaw was always crocheting, she showed me how before she passed but I'm far out of practice. She was always making blankets for the beds, the couch, and the chairs as well as doilies for the tables. I've been wanting to get back into it for a while and this video was very inspiring.

[@moooper]

I cannot express how much I love both this idea, _and_ this execution! Truly wonderful

[@KatisBags]

I Love the idea of an ancestor alter, Thank You for the inspiration! Blessed Be

[@pomegranateandivy9833]

I've watched half of the video already and I'm speechless, Olivia. You're an inspiration to me. There is just something about your craft that is so eye opening to me every time I watch one of your videos. It's all very creative and oftentimes very different from my craft. I can learn so much. And obviously, you have amazing videography skills. Can't wait to join you over on Patreon again. And thank you so much for sharing your work with us. ❤️😍 Have a great week.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

This means so much. Thank you for making my day with this🫀

[@thetarotofclaude]

Wow! Your work is stunning, both on a spiritual and crafting level! I am so admirative of the amount of dedication and skill you put into this project! And it turned out beautifully 🤩 Thank you for sharing 🙏 hope you have a beautiful end of the year!

[@sandramariesolander]

I absolutely LOVE it! It's perfect-makes me want to get my hooks out again. I did some of my best work at your age, I miss that. There's something so relaxing in creating as you go. Well done! 💞❤️🥰

[@CattaVoid]

That's such a beautiful and creative idea! Loved the video as always. I adore the skull pattern, skulls in general are my thing. Great way to honor death and ancestors. Lots of love. 🥰💖

[@MisaLee13]

It's pretty 🖤 Watch the whole thing in silent and got me thinking alot. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@imbewitchingyou]

I love everything about this! The video is very relaxing, the sweater looks wonderful! I love that it's not "perfect". It gives it a little extra charm ❤️

[@NYCHFAN]

That is so awesome. Turned out beautiful! Love your kitties, too. 😊❤️🔮

[@SimplyRochelleParanormal]

I ALWAYS WANTED to learn how to do this, My Grandma did it for ALL the grandkids 💜 and I STILL cherish the pieces she made me. I plan on learning so I can leave my grandbabies the SAME as I have when I use the piece's My Granny made ME 💜 So therapeutic is what it always FELT like sitting with her, MANY hrs upon MANY that I'd of NEVER traded for the world 🌎🌍💯💜💜🌛🌝🌜👑 Blessed Be friend 💜🌴🌴💜

[@TheSistersGamers234]

It turned out beautiful and not too long if youre inexperienced! Very good job! And very inspiring to have new ideas

[@PracticingStitchcraft]

WHAT!! 😍🧶 Your cardigan turned out beautiful queen!!

[@Twistedtree7]

Obsessed with this entire thing!

[@AriesGirlTAROT]

How special Olivia, and equally lovely. Well done.

[@simplyelf]

wow that's fabulous!

[@chillbaby5000]

awesome video. awesome project. inspiring. thanks

[@HobbylessWolf]

Haunting and beautiful! The attention to detail, both for the video and the cardigan, is quite impressive. If you ever make merch with those designs, like an ugly Christmas sweater or hoodies, that'd awesome 😍

[@lemonysnickers1777]

8:50 okay but the shots of you in the cardigan walking around the cemetery???? GORGEOUS. i am ALWAYS pleasantly surprised by the beautiful cinematography in your videos. This one is particular is SUCH a vibe, I am well fed 🙏🏻☠️

[@SunshineDawn7]

WOW ! Just Wow! That is Beautiful ! You are AMAZING! I love your ideas and your vlogs and music are incredible ! I don't always comment but i had to tell you that you did a Fantastic job! I love this ! Thank you for inspiring me ! 😍😍🖤🖤🤍🤍

[@glenharlan5507]

A wonderful offering and a beautiful sweater for the seasons to come.

[@melyssavazquez]

What a brilliant wonderful idea!!!❤

[@booksinbed718]

Very nice work, Olivia! I am really impressed. You have definitely inspired me to expand my skills and try a larger project. I love how you took the pattern and customized it and made it your own. All I see is a really nice quality finished product that I would definitely love to wear.

[@vickeydykstra2355]

What an amazing project for my practice! Thanks for the inspiration Olivia!!

[@ErinCrook]

This is one of the most magical, beautiful and comforting videos I've ever watched anywhere. Thank you so much for making this! Time and work in silence as offering resonated with me strongly, and since I'm on this wave of rebelliously making my own clothing anyway, I'm going to give a similar project a try.

[@brooklynlefevre]

I just adore everything about this video.❤

[@TinaFairey]

I love how it turned out! Thank you for sharing the process.

[@MsNursenice]

Olivia, it's as beautiful as you are. Well done and blessed be!💜🖤💜🍁🍂🌒🌕🌘

[@kassiegruel7695]

I would love to see more stuff like this! I never thought about doing crochet offerings

[@LaCocinadera]

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@StarshineLegacyFan]

I really enjoyed this video. The calm vibe and visual shots.

[@miruschkac7880]

A really great vlog! I admire the ideas behind this project a lot and I think the Cardigan turned out very beautiful!

[@teresastorms3774]

What a beautiful offering, and so creative! I would LOVE to get better at crochet and make this for my daughter. I made a hemp necklace completely in silence for my now ex-boyfriend's cross pendant...each knot was infused with love and protection. I forgot I did that for him until I watched this gorgeous video. Thank you for sharing this - it felt very intimate, and I feel honored to have been able to watch your creation process.

[@mariarizzo2418]

So cute!! You are my favorite witch!

[@Sibes3]

I love it! I haven't crocheted in years, (more into knitting) but man, have you inspired me!

[@amandanjax90]

I always forget you can do offerings as in tasks or crafts. I need to incorporate this more in my practice. Love your cardigan! Looks very cozy. ❤️

[@Mylittlestcorner]

Everytime I enjoy your content, be it a KZbin video or Instagram post, I learn more about you and your craft. I cannot express how much I respect you. Thoughtful in so many ways, a whole person. Witch, artist, pole dancer, an asexual, human, teacher. And so many more. I can't wait to continue to learn and be inspired by you.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Wow. I’m so touched by this. Thank you so much. 🫀

[@beverleytitley811]

That is just beautiful! I love all the thought and presence that went into it

[@Xfcf-b1n]

I love you're creation, my Nana taught me to crochet thankyou🌹

[@lulumoon9]

Love it -- I had seen this skull granny pattern earlier in the season and thought about trying it - love how you turned it into this panel. I also appreciate how you came up with a hood pattern - I'm just figuring out crochet and enjoying it. Best of all, how you made this into an offering. As an artist myself, this is my goal - to infuse my art with spirit and intention. Thank you.

[@abbeypeters2765]

Using that cardigan for when you collect graveyard dirt, go to give offerings to passed loved ones and also just doing magic in the graveyard would be so cool! I would defo use that for all death related magic and ritual

[@dreacero9116]

Love this! It came out so beautiful! Looks really warm too.

[@katiel3264]

I had no clue you could Crochet! I absolutly LOVE crocheting!

[@blackseaknits2576]

I think your cardigan is awesome! Who wants perfect? Anyway, no one can see what you see - only that it’s stinking adorable. Congrats!

[@glambycheryl212]

Love your changes. I often crochet intentions in to my work

[@SentientSoup]

Such beauty. Thank you for sharing this. My daughter, who is ten, is in the very beginning of crocheting. My mother crocheted while she was with the living and it warms my spirit that my daughter is drawn to it. She struggles with the “beginner” set we found so if anyone has any pointers, please share. Thank you, again, Olivia. You created a lovely peace.

[@aldakendall4921]

I love this so much!! It came out amazing! Gives me all kinds of ideas!! For working my yarn craft into my other craft as well as a reworking of a pattern i have been playing with. Also being dyslexic patterns can be special. Thank you for sharing.

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

The Cardigan suits you amazingly Olivia!!

[@Moonlit_Rose]

I'm a cross stitcher. And I have been slowly collecting patterns for the Deities I work with as offerings and representations of them. I am kinda used... because Loki changed they mind on the first one and found a second one they resonated with more. Surprisingly as well, theirs is the second to easiest one. Lolol

[@grahamcrackerjay]

That is so bad ass. I love the one on one time you got making it.

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

This video was the meditative, renewing energy I needed after a trying day. Thank you. (And I effing LOVE the cardigan!!!! 💀 Can't wait to make one for myself!)

[@SerenaKelly]

Well now i want to make a big cozy cardigan
