Rope that remembers a sailor’s hands. These coiled rope coasters are a love letter to Luca—born to a French mother and Spanish father, raised among the docks of Casablanca, and most at peace where salt clings to skin and charts curl at the edges. He works the Mediterranean and Atlantic routes on a wooden sailboat, trading what the seasons allow and keeping a battered compass rose close. In the summer of 1975, the winds carry him to Cypress Key, Florida. No spoilers—only the feeling of finding your heading again. Stitch a set, clip on the compass charm, and let the tide bring you home.

This is the first pattern officially released for The Sea Glass Journal, my debut novel launching November 2025.
