Lola is in her Crochet Era 🧶✨
There’s something so special about watching your kids dive headfirst into a new passion. Lola has completely run with crocheting—hook in one hand, Taylor Swift playing in her headphones, and a growing collection of yarn in every colour. She’s teaching me more than I can teach her at this point!
We’re now on the hunt for more yarn shops and maybe even some workshops she can do as part of her homeschooling. Because as much as I love that she’s self-taught, there’s something amazing about bringing in people with skills beyond our own to help nurture their interests. Whether it’s crochet, coding, music, or languages, giving kids access to passionate mentors can be a game-changer.
So if you know of any great crochet spots in Bali, let us know! 🧵💛

There’s a beautiful rhythm to our Bali days lately: the waves in the distance, the hum of scooters, and the quiet click of Lola’s crochet hook. In what we’re now calling her “Crochet Era,” Lola has turned a simple interest into a full-blown passion—one that's unexpectedly transformed our homeschooling journey.
Armed with colorful yarn and Taylor Swift on loop, Lola is self-teaching with a focus that’s inspiring. From granny squares to tiny amigurumi animals, her creations grow more intricate by the day. Watching her dive so wholeheartedly into something creative reminds me what homeschooling is really about: curiosity, freedom, and following what sparks joy.
To support her love of the craft, we've started exploring Bali through a new lens—on the lookout for yarn shops, creative hubs, and workshops where she can learn from local artisans. Bali is rich with textile traditions, and it feels like the perfect place to nurture this passion. Engaging with skilled makers not only brings fresh techniques, but adds a layer of cultural depth to her learning experience.
If you’re homeschooling in Bali (or visiting with crafty kids!), keep an eye out for indie yarn stores tucked into Ubud’s art markets or Seminyak’s creative co-ops. Many offer informal classes or might be open to setting something up for young learners.
Whether it's crochet, coding, or cooking, these kind of hands-on experiences connect the dots between travel and education. And in the case of Lola, every new skein of yarn feels like another page in her learning adventure.
If you know a great crochet spot in Bali, please send it our way—we’re always looking to stitch more magic into our journey. 🧶✨
