🧶 Do you always weave in your ends? 🧶

Hello and Happy Friday! How was your week? Are you gearing up for summer? My kids are almost out of school and I can’t wait for the world to slow down a little. I wore this wrap for the first time in ages this week. Now I want another one! 🤣🤪 I want to make it in all one yarn and make it a little wider by adding stitches in multiples of 10. It’s a really versatile piece, which I’m totally in to right now. I also love how the tapered ends make it drape nicer than a straight rectangle. I originally designed this for a collab with Matchmaker Yarns, so mine is knit in the 3 yarns from the kit that were inspired by the painting The Kiss. If I make myself a new one, I’ll obviously use something with pink. 🤪 I shared my views on weaving in ends and following the rules of knitting this week. Check it out here. That’s about all I have for you this week. Have a great weekend! If you want more… Browse my Etsy shop See all my patterns on Ravelry |

Hello! How have you been!?! I’ve been working on some more knit wall art. I’m so excited to show you some pics today! This is Aries, it’s part of my zodiac series. I’m loving how they’re coming out!

Sometimes they get pretty tangled if there’s a bunch going at the same time, but it’s rarely bad enough for me to have to pause and untangle. I like it so much more than...
Happy Friday! How was your week? I’ve been getting another travel-friendly knitting project ready. I won’t be bringing my Popcorn Ceiling sweater because it’s too big to pack. I’m on the first sleeve, though. Yay, progress! 🎉 I’m still working on the tank top, but you know it’s impossible to bring only one project on a week long trip! So I started a fingering weight ribbed hat. I’ll write it up and send it to you after I decide how I want to do the decreases. I’m picturing a fingering weight...
Hello and happy Friday! I'm back from my trip and I brought back a knitting mistake to share! 🤣🤪 Only, I was too mad to remember to take a picture when it happened, so I recreated it as best I could for you. You know how every knit in the round pattern warns you to be careful not to twist the stitches? We've all done it at least once and ended up with a mobius strip. But have you ever managed to do it while knitting flat!?! Did you even know it was possible!?! I'm working on a tank top that...
