Hello and welcome! I’m Holly Chayes

I help makers, thinkers, builders, operators, creators, etc. implement solid containers for creative chaos, and functional systems for sustainable momentum, all in aid of making a life or business you love. 

Right now I’m working with people and businesses in a couple capacities… 

Business

Business coaching and consulting for small businesses ready to dig into the practicalities of what’s next.

When you’ve graduated from mindset-only to mindset+ 

When you’ve built something that functions but doesn’t flow yet.

When you’ve outgrown and overrun what used to work.

Whatever you’re stuck on, we can get you moving to what’s next.

Individual

Life and clothing magic for individuals who thought they would be more prepared for this moment.

Personal or professional.

Once in a lifetime or every day.

A surprise or something you’ve been working towards for years.

Whatever this moment is, we can get you ready for it.

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

finishing a handknit sweater

simple dress alteration

shawl geometry book editing

How many ends can one sweater have? It turns out this sweater has 4 weeks worth of ends.

But all the ends are woven in! Now this sweater just needs a quick bath and it’ll be finished. Considering I started this sweater at the end of 2014, it’s about time.

I also knocked out a quick alteration from my pile of works-in-progress. And am continuing, what feels like, a never ending editing process.

handknit sweater with a million ends

I’ve been avoiding weaving in the ends of this sweater for years.

And it turns out I’ve been avoiding it for good reason – it’s the sweater with ends that never end, which is one of the larger downsides to knitting intense colorwork.

I’ve been weaving in a handful of ends here and there, because I think if I tried to weave them all in at once I would hate this sweater halfway through. That seems to be working (slowly) but consistently, and hopefully the ends will end eventually.

shawl geometry edits

Picking away at projects one end at a time, one stitch at a time, and one word at a time.

I’m continuing to work my way through weaving in the ends of a sweater with a million ends. And I spent most of yesterday sewing 7 yards of a bright red silk for a theater project. While carving out times to edit many words about knitted shawl shaping.
