Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and day. We hung out at home. My husband and the kids were asleep at 9 on New Year’s Eve, so I rang in the new year by myself! Today I finished up my new pattern, the Jenna Jumper.

I decided last minute to add a butterfly using duplicate stitch! Haha, honestly it’s a mix between kind of funny and kind of fun. It doesn’t look too much like a butterfly unless you kind of squint and glance at it.😂

The Jenna Jumper is basically an oversized knit tee/vest. It’s got some mesh stitch, stockinette stitch, and twisted ribbing. So basic, yet has a unique flair to it! I’m super excited to pair it over tees for the spring. You know when it’s the temperature where you don’t know whether you should be wearing a sweater or a tee. Or when the temp changes 60 degrees throughout the day!

If you decide to knit this, you do not need to add the butterfly. The mesh stitch is more visible without it and that turns out to be the main viewpoint. But if you’re feeling creative and want to give it a go, design your own fun butterfly and make sure you send me a pic! I’d love to see it!

Hope you enjoyed and I wish you a wonderful new year!

Happy Friday! This evening I posted a new design in my Etsy shop. This is the All Smiles Tomorrow Sweater Pattern! This sweater is super warm and cozy and just gives all over happy vibes!

My dad passed away 6 months ago after a short cancer trial. Long and rough ordeal, but only a few short months. Moments before he passed, he smiled and pointed upwards and told us gathered around him, “All smiles tomorrow”. He was an incredibly uplifting person and always had such a positive outlook on life. Him saying that, knowing he just wanted us to continue to be happy, stuck with us all. We will never forget those words.

This sweater is a basic knit! It involves only your basic stockinette stitches and some increases as well as twisted ribbing. Then the smiley face is added on afterwards using the duplicate stitch. If you haven’t worked with duplicate stitch before, there are YouTube videos that explain it fairly well. It’s easy once you’ve got it!

You can purchase the pattern for this sweater by clicking on the Shop link in the menu above, or simply clicking here!

Introducing The Amber Fall Sweater! This was such a fun knit to make! It’s knit with We Are Knitters petite wool on size 12mm needles which makes it a quick knit to complete. It took me two weeks to complete and that was with many days in that time not knitting! If you have time, you could definitely finish it in just a few days.

This sweater requires, for the most part, basic knitting skills. The only extra thing you’ll need to know is how to do increases for the sleeves. Mesh stitch is used for the top of the sweater, which is easy to get used to.

I absolutely love loose oversized sleeves and a roomy fit. I find nothing fun about tight fitting sweaters. If you’re familiar with my patterns, you’ll recognize they’re all big and cozy! This one is no different. You won’t have to be adjusting it as you move about your daily life.

If you’d like to knit one of these for yourself, the pattern is available on my Etsy shop here!
