Been slowly trying to get to my yarn stash this year, and one project I’ve been wanting to get to is the Anker’s Summer Shirt by PetitKnit. I had just the perfect yarn for it, too – Jo Sharp Soho Summer DK Cotton I’ve had forever and ever. For a 100% cotton yarn, it is… Continue reading Sailboat summer shirt (and lesson learned)
I really enjoy knitting gifts for friends and family (who are knit-worthy 😉). My sister’s favorite color is purple so when I came across the pattern for the Namu cowl, I thought it’d be a nice and cozy Christmas gift for her. Yarn used is Paton’s Angora Bamboo – soft, non-scratchy and has nice drape… Continue reading Namu Cowl
I received Knitting Classic Style: 35 Modern Designs Inspired by Fashion’s Archives by Veronik Avery as a gift a while back and added a few projects in my queue. I decided to give the Skater’s Undertop a try. My goal with each project I start is to always try something new and learn from the… Continue reading Skater’s Undertop
I’ve been a knitter for a long time (over 17 years now) and for some reason I was never interested in doing colorwork. I guess it just always seemed very tedious and fiddly? I tried a mitten last year but it’s in hibernation now 🙁 Last summer I was browsing the r/knitting sub on Reddit… Continue reading Northern Exposure

Using Peerie by Brooklyn Tweed in the colorway Tincture, I just love everything about this yarn, color, texture. I can’t wait to wear it when it… Continue reading Ensata Cowl in Tincture
Like many of you, I have been knitting to find a bit of calmness and serenity during this lockdown. I saw this post on Brooklyn Tweed’s Instagram and just had to get the pattern! Amy van de Laar / baroquepurls created such a brilliant pattern. I just can’t resist these type of knitting where clever… Continue reading Ensata Cowl in Kenai
Once upon a time, I used to knit baby things like there’s no tomorrow. So many friends and family were expecting little ones, and I was more than happy to knit baby garments as gifts. Then all the kiddos grew up and no longer want to wear anything hand-knitted. 🙁 When I found out a… Continue reading A Cardigan for a Little Girl
Over the past summer, I started seeing this lovely little sweater pop up everywhere on Instagram – it’s the Love Note by Tin Can Knits! After finding out that it’s a fairly quick knit that consists of top down, seamless construction plus a lovely lace panel all around, I just had to add it to… Continue reading Much love for the Love Note
