🧶 I made you something!

Hey there! How have you been? I hope you're getting more knitting done than I am! 🤣🤪 I'm just going to blame it on summer! I did do a different creative thing, though. I made you something! It's called The Rule Breaker's Permission Slip and Finishing Matrix. And it also has a Frog Log inside! My favorite part is the Finishing Matrix. It's a tool to help you decide just how much effort you should put into weaving ends, blocking, etc. for any particular project. You know I like to cut corners on finishing when it won't matter! 🤣🤪 You can find the page to download it here. As long as you put in the same email address that I sent this email to, you won't get double emails from me. If you know any knitters who like to have fun, forward them this email and they can get The Rule Breaker's Permission Slip right here ⬇️
I also got the Start Here page on my website looking a little more complete. Check it out! Speaking of not getting any knitting done this summer... I'm going to do a workshop where we each knit a sweater without a pattern, based on our own measurements and whatever size yarn we want. I think November will be a perfect time to get it done. Then we'll have fresh new sweaters to wear all winter long! Stay tuned, I'll get more details to you as I formulate my plan! In the meantime, I hope you find time to work on something fun this weekend! Reply to this email and let me know what you think of The Rule Breaker's Permission Slip after you download it here.

Hey there! How has your week been? I’m feeling so much lighter this week. I finally did it. I broke up with the bamboo yarn for good. I’m so much happier. Now that I’m free to start something I actually want to make, I’m going to start a new sample of my Cat Hat. It’s due for a refresh in a different yarn. My plan is to use some leftover Germantown worsted that I have on hand. I’ll let you know how it goes next week. If you missed it last week, I made a new free resource for you. It’s called...
Hello, how are you!?! Are you working on anything fun? I’d love to hear about it. Send pics! I finally finished the front (or back) of the bamboo mesh sweater. I think I’m just going to make it sleeveless so I can be done with it sooner. I’ve tried so many different things with this bamboo yarn. I’m never going to like it. I’ll either use the rest on something like fringe or tassels, or I’ll give it to one of my kids who crochet. At least I know I gave it a fair shot before breaking up with...
Hey there! How was your week? Mine started with an endoscopy, so I’m about two days behind right now. Here’s Bruno doing his impression of my Monday and Tuesday: Since I didn’t do a single interesting thing this week, I came up with something else fun to share! I’ve been getting tons of emails from the Disney store about the Haunted Mansion and Toy Story 5 lately. So here’s a couple of my patterns inspired by those. They are a couple of my favorites.
