I found some self-striping yarn in my stash to join in on the Stockinette Zombie’s self-striping knit along for 2022. Using yarn that had previously been a shawl that didn’t work great for me! And then, being me, I’ve been expanding the shawl to be bigger based on how much yarn I have left.
First sweater in process of the year! The idea was to find a basic tee silhouette that I could fit my shape and style easily. Something to wear over dresses or tanks and leggings. Even though the tee itself has a specific style with mohair and stripes, I was able to use my own color…
Exoskeleton by Shana Cohen Purchased yarn from Queen City Yarns: Biddleville DK in Lucky Charms x2 and Madison Park Mohair in Raspberry Beret. Purchased pattern as preorder already from payhip. Plan to make the larger size. I love the idea that I am froot loops on the outside and pink on the inside 🙂 This…
My very first yarn advent is a Disney Princess-inspired set of 24 minis and a full skein for Christmas. This set was from Yarn Café Creations. It was a fun experience! When finding a pattern, I wanted something that could use most of the minis, something that showed off all of the multicolored yarns, and…
After viewing a variety of projects that used this pattern, I chose to make a 3 color version instead of two because that’s what I had. And it ended up that I was able to do a 3 color version with only 3 skeins instead of 4. Used the two-color brioche instructions for section 3….
PLANNING: Use TdF2021 handspun (DnD Fibers) for main color. Sun Valley in Wine, Onyx, and Intermission are coming for the colorwork. Plan to continue colorwork at the underbust (possibly with a band of corrugated ribbing first). Bought the pattern from Jessica McDonald’s site. September 26: wound yarn and swatched in the round September 28: cast…
I’m feeling extra spooky/witchy/halloween-y this year. So I really needed a shawl to match this feeling. Enter, my design, the Superpowers shawl. When I was setting up the blog, and wanted my patterns to be available #offrav, it was joyful to look at my pics again to add the pattern to payhip. It made me…
Received this lovely self-striping yarn from my friend Karen. The summer of 2021 is a mess of doctors appointments to try and figure out what’s going on with my health and so I cast on a yarn-y companion project. Cast 60 stitches on provisionally with a crochet hook around my knitting needle. Using a 14″…
I’ve made several Ripple Bralettes, and so the Ripple Crop Top was very enticing to me. I love that the designer, Jessie Mae Martinson, is size inclusive and doesn’t shy away from showing fat people in her pictures. I bought a rerelease color from Molly Girl Yarns called Walk This Way, a nice gray with…
