The "Love Shouldn't Hurt" Bundle: A Journey of Survival & Absolute Truth

This is not just a pattern pack; it is a permanent, physical record of survival. Released in October to directly honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Honey B's Crochet proudly presents The "Love Shouldn't Hurt" Bundle. This specialized collection brings together two profoundly intimate standalone masterpieces, built loop-by-loop to stand as unyielding witnesses against abuse, silence, and systemic gaslighting:
* #12 Vix (The Universal Witness) Heather Purple Body, Dark Purple Slime Base, and a Sweet Pink Heart Nose.
* #13 Lovie (The Sovereign Truth) High-Visibility Solid Teal Crown melting horizontally into an absolute Domestic Violence Awareness Purple Face and Puddle Base.
Both patterns completely skip fuzzy loops by utilizing our master 36-stitch body foundation in smooth worsted weight yarn, ensuring a clean, highly professional, and deeply therapeutic crafting experience for makers of all skill levels.

The Story Behind the Stitches: An Artist's Statement

Every single loop in this bundle is directly anchored to an unbreakable testament of survival carved into the designer's own skin.

This collection is built around the exact, unyielding geometry of the designer's personal tattoo: an even, horizontal split featuring deep purple on the top and teal on the bottom. This permanent ink was born as a physical anchor following an attempted murder and a life-altering spinal injurya testament to surviving a literal horror story when the legal system failed, family turned away in cruelty, and doctors chose the path of medical gaslighting.

The colors are deliberate. Blue and teal represent the heavy, crushing weight of PTSD, severe anxiety, and trauma. Purple stands as the national armor for Domestic Violence Awareness, courage, and unyielding strength. Together, they form an unbreakable boundary line. This bundle is an invitation to every survivor of domestic violence, child abuse, and institutional trauma to feel seen, validated, and fiercely protected.
