Almost done, almost done! I'm knitting the sleeves two-at-a-time so that they're the exact same length. And it feels faster, for some reason, even though it technically is not. But when I'm done, I'll be done done.

The Light As A Feather Hat is knit from the brim to the crown, and features a folded brim, waffle texture, and a light amount of slouchiness. It's one of my favourites to knit and wear, and I'm so glad so many if you love it, too! 🥰
The gorgeous yarn I used is @campfiberyarns Vibrant in Americano

According to my math and measurements so far, this blanket should end up being approximately 38" x 48", a perfect lapghan/throw blanket size 👌

My next #songbirdbagcollection will be somewhat limited compared to usual; you can expect my #mediumdrawstringprojectbag and my #grandezipperedpouch in 4 different palettes. I've decided to call this colour scheme "Strawberry Picnic" 🍓🌳 I can't wait to share more!

This hydrangea-coloured sweater was SO fun to knit! Playing with different colours of wool and mohair is my favourite way of marling and fading between colours.

I wasn't even interested in knitting a blanket until Eunice @therapybycraft posted her go-to joining method tutorial on YouTube, and then I was like, "You know what? I do want to knit this!" and gathered all of my superwash DK and fingering-weight scraps.

My first draft of my #EcholocationSweater. I need to do some work on the pattern, more positive ease and more short row shaping. I'm pleased with the colourwork, and looking forward to knitting a second sample!

I was unhappy with the fit of the round-neck collar on this cardigan, so I hacked it to make a V-neck. The collar hack worked out well and I'll happily reach for this cardigan now. Details in my Ravelry project notes.
