Moving on to my next pattern set to be released 😁

Farewell gift for a colleague who has a camper van and used it to travel to France. It's a little lavender cushion. Got the pattern here.

In celebration of finishing five of my six shawls for my wedding I have released the pattern for my "on the fly" bridesmaid shawl.

It's made of Bamboo pop on a US 6 needle. Because I hate knitting the same thing twice I did attempt to make this pattern customizable. The lace is both charted and writen out for convenience.

I apologize if the charting is off, I don't read charts for lace often and have never practiced before hand.

In this household we don't have yarn bowls, we have oversized mugs from when I had a coffee addiction that I'm still attached to

Rosmerta Shawl by Dorota Zaborowska-Ziani on Ravelry

I have just uploaded a new revised version of my Plush Heart pattern! It and the original version are still available for free on my Ravelry store. It's been a work in progress for a while and I finally feel settled and like it's complete. I'm open to correcting errors if it has any in the future but I feel very good about keeping this as the edition of this pattern, no more revisions or facelifts :)

So go snag yourself this pattern in time for Valentine's Day, it's free and only takes a scrap amount of yarn and an afternoon to make! And please don't judge the original, I'm also leaving it up as proof of improvement 😅 I wrote it in 2019

We're so back 😎

Somehow I feel like annually fresh into the new year I rip out a project I thought I was making pretty good progress on 😅

Early morning subway knitting. I tried the sweater on Frankie last night and it fits beautifully despite me having to go down a needle size and up a pattern size to get a satisfactory gauge. Hoping to finish the main body stockinette this week and start the waist hem colorwork!

Finished up another Christmas present! A baking cowl for my mom who is a great chef and baker. I'm so happy with how the mixer turned out!

I have a few pieces on Etsy still available if anyone is looking for handmade items for Christmas gifts.

Finished my last Ren Faire shawl for the season (hopefully) so now I’m rewarding myself with a cute challenging ballerina top with this yarn by Old Rusted Chair

I also finished my musselburgh in time for the occasion I planned it for :)
