    Happy Saturday!

    Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a super fabulous awesome weekend! This week has been so hectic and crazy for me, between my car breaking down and trying to find ways to get from point a to b, to just regular life! Car troubles are the worst! I feel like I should always have a backup vehicle for when things like this happen. But I know one way or another, things will work out! Not going to stress about it.

    I decided to throw a little weekend sale through tomorrow evening! All patterns in my shop are currently 25% off, so go scoop them up while you can!

    I’m working on a new spring design here! It took me a week to get a grip on an idea for it. When I’m using multiple yarn colors, I have so many ideas in my head that I sit here forever tossing them all over until I can finally settle on one. And then when I start knitting it, it changes a few more times. 😂 I love it. I’m trying to use a majority of one color because of the fact that We Are Knitters and probably other yarn companies as well, are out of stock in quite a few of their yarns. But you know me, it’s definitely going to have a little color.

    This is the color line up for this design. It will mainly be this natural shade of cotton from We Are Knitters, which I have ten of. Then I have a few fun tropical colors to accent it. I’m so happy I’ve been stocking up on cotton yarn for the past couple years because now I have quite a few random colors.

    I’m so so happy spring is coming. Nothing quite lifts the mood like sunshine, warm weather, flowers, and being outdoors. I’m trying to plan a couple sweaters for my florida trip in April. This current project will be one of them, and then I want to do one more. Maybe a completely solid basic one. Much as I love lots of color and fun designs, one good go with everything sweater is a must! I’ll keep you all updated.😊

    Have a happy weekend!

  • The Wild Love Bomber Cardi Pattern

    The Wild Love Bomber Cardi Pattern

    My latest design, the Wild Love Bomber Cardi Pattern. This design is made using Wool and the Gangs shiny happy cotton, an Aran/worsted weight yarn, and size 5mm straight knitting needles.

    The majority of this sweater is an easy knit and knit flat in five separate pieces. The back, two front panels, and the sleeves. After completing the knitting, the sweater is seamed up using the invisible horizontal and vertical seaming methods. The stitches used include 1×1 twisted ribbing, stockinette stitch, and garter stitch. The sleeves have increases, which are very easy to do once you have gotten the hang of it.

    The only thing that I wouldn’t consider so easy, is the picking up stitches for the edging on the front and creating the button holes. The pattern does include the link where I learned to create the buttonholes if further assistance is needed.

    The fit style of the Wild Love Bomber Cardi is a relaxed, cozy, and slightly oversized feel. Perfect for layering over a tank or tee, any season. I am loving the retro style vibes of it! I had a photo of my dad from when he was probably in his 20’s tucked in my notebook and it must have kind of influenced the vibe. ❤️

    The pattern for this cardigan is available in my Etsy shop, by going to the Shop link in the Menu above.

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    I hope you all had an incredible Christmas and holiday season! This Christmas was definitely different than Christmases past, but we made the best of it! We enjoyed a couple of holiday lights drives, made plenty of Christmas treats, bought plenty of Christmas treats, and enjoyed time as a family. We actually lucked out and got a tiny bit of snow the day before Christmas. Just a dusting, but it made for a white Christmas! I wore my Christmas sweaters quite a bit this season and am getting excited now to finish up my 2021 Valentine’s Day sweater! Because you know, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Here’s a few photos from our Christmas season!
