🧶 I've officially sworn off this yarn until the end of time
|
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 The Rule Breaker’s Permission Slip and Finishing Matrix. It’s fun and useful, like me. 🤣🤪 After you download it, come back and hit reply to tell me which part is your favorite. My favorite part is the Finishing Matrix. If you get bored this weekend, you can poke around on my website and see some of the updates. Home, Start Here, and About are pretty much done for now. Patterns is still under construction. Eventually each of those pictures will be clickable and lead to a detailed page about the pattern. But that’s a job for next week. This weekend is all about enjoying my knitting again! I hope you get to enjoy some knitting, too! Thanks for being here! If you want more… Browse my Etsy shop See all my patterns on Ravelry |

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...
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.
