Halloween bookmarks inside 🧶🎃


Hello!
​

How are you? Crafting much?
​

We’ve had a bit of sweater weather recently, so I’m doing great! I also have a long car ride later this week — you know what that means! 🧶🧶🧶 I don’t even know what project to bring! It’s glorious!
​

Pretty soon, I’m going to start doing some tech editing for newer knit designers. So, if you’ve been sitting on your first knitting pattern because you’re afraid to send it out into the world, reply and let me know where you’re at.
​

All the nerdy details involved in perfecting a pattern get me excited! I can’t wait to help new designers publish patterns that are freakishly organized and clear. Their fans will leave reviews like “I can’t believe this is their first pattern! It’s perfectly written and easy to follow!” 🤣🤪 I’m about to use my knit-picky attention to detail as a super power! 💪🏻 You could say I’m a little excited about it. I’ll keep you posted.
​

Guess what else? I made you something!

Free Download!

In months that have 5 Mondays, I always make you some fun thing to download (starting now! 🤣🤪). This time it’s a set of knitting-themed Halloween bookmarks to print! You can download it here 👉🏻 Halloween knit bookmarks.pdf​

I hope you think they’re cute! You should probably print some and cut them out in case you get a rush of knitters trick-or-treating on Halloween! 🤣

​3 cool things:

I started my skeleton collection! I definitely need to get more next year! Can you see 2 on the house and one in the yard?

All my hand knit socks are ready for the season! I knit all of them in one year, probably 12-15 years ago. As long as I can make them last, I have no intention of knitting more! 🤣🤣🤣

Look how cute this turned out! I didn’t even get the wax out after the candle was done! 🤪 I just added dirt, rocks, and chicks & hens! I hope they survive!

​

That’s all I have for you this week! Stay tuned next week for more fun! If you need me before then, just hit reply and let me know what’s on your mind. In the meantime, stay crafty!

P.S. The Handmade Holiday Gift Workshop email series is really shaping up! You can expect a new email with patterns and other gifty things every Friday for the rest of the year. It looks even better than I had hoped it would! You’re going to love it!

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! Here’s Pisces: You can see how I just let all the strands of working yarn hang. The longest length I use is about 6-8 feet. 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...

Hat knitting project on the needles

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...

knitting project with a frayed loop of yarn

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...
