Bejeweled Socks

“Best believe I'm still bejeweled When I walk in the room I can still make the whole place shimmer” – Bejeweled lyrics by Taylor Swift Sometimes some lyrics really strike a chord and you hold them close to your heart. When I’m feeling particularly overwhelmed by imposter syndrome I like to think about this quote and remind myself of all the things I’ve accomplished and all the things I have learned and created. This is the reason I chose this name for this new sock pattern. Recently I shared how I have been dealing with burn out and how it has been a hard time for me creatively because I have been experiencing self doubt and a lot of anxiety when it comes to designing. After sharing my experience and receiving so much support from you, the fear of not being good enough dissipated and my drive to create came back with full force. I was reminded that leaving doubt and fear aside, and tapping into my creativity and just coming back to myself is a very powerful feeling. Like walking into a room and still making the whole place shimmer.
