    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!

  • Design | The Inez Summer Sweater

    Design | The Inez Summer Sweater

    The Inez Summer Sweater is by far my new favorite summer knit! This design is comfortable and has an open breezy stitch work, perfect for the summer season.

    This sweater consists of four pieces total. You will first knit the two body panels, and then the two sleeve pieces. Because of the open stitch work, it is a fairly fast knit as well!

    The yarn I chose for this sweater is Wool and the Gangs shiny happy cotton. The main color I used is ivory and the accent colors are chalk yellow, malibu, and coral crush. They remind me so much of the colorful, happy things of summer!

    This pattern is a one size oversized fit! If you would like to make it bigger, I’d recommend adding one additional repeat section for a medium and two additional repeat sections for a large.
