🏝️ The best vacation knitting project ☀️
|
Happy Friday! I’m in vacation mode! I hope you’ve got fun plans for the weekend! I thought I’d show you what I decided to bring with me to Hawaii. IT’S A SQUARE!!!!!! 🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣 Okay. It’s (going to be) 3 squares. I kept thinking it would be cute to knit one. I guess I thought it 2 different times and then abandoned it, because I found these two in a pile of WIPs. Anyway, this is perfect vacation knitting. It’s tiny, you don’t need a pattern, and it’s relaxing to work on. If a square is too boring for you, I recommend my Downtime shawl pattern for something that doesn’t require much thought or my Everywhen shawl if you want some unique shaping to keep you on your toes! I’ll show you how much I actually get done next week! If you want more… Browse my Etsy shop See all my patterns on Ravelry |

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.

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...
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...
