I finally finished the sweater!
|
Hey there! How have you been? The last time I emailed, I was ready to give this up and try something else. As it turns out, I was just completely burned out by the sweater I was knitting. It was an ordeal, to say the least. I wrote a little about it here. I don’t even have a photo of the finished sweater! I’ll try to get one soon, it really is cute. I have so much to catch you up on. I knit the most perfect fitting cardigan for myself without a pattern, I adopted another dog, and I’ve knit my first prototype for custom fit shorts (which, eventually, will also be sweatpants). I know there’s more, but I can’t cram it all into this email. You’d never want to hear from me again! 🤣🤪 Here’s a picture of a little crochet experiment I did recently. If they didn’t take so long, I’d make a million of them. I have a huge collection of cardboard coasters! I’ll be back in a few days with more fun knitting updates. In the meantime, reply and tell me what you’ve been working on! Thanks for being here! 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! 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...
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...
