New pattern coming next week!!! 🤗

Checkered Vest is a beginner-friendly intarsia pattern. I knit mine in De Rerum Natura’s Gilliatt, but this would also be a great pattern for using worsted scraps! Several testers made really cute patchwork versions 💗

I have a new pattern releasing in just two weeks - Wildflower Pullover!! 🌸

I knit my sample up in Brooklyn Tweed’s fingering weight base Tones Light. It comes in so many gorgeous colors, perfect for colorwork.

This was my very first time steeking and it was actually so much easier than I expected!

I made a little video with some ideas for different ways to style a handknit vest!! I’m wearing my South Slope Vest pattern which is available now ♡

It feels wrong that after all the sweaters I’ve knit, my very favorite sweater to wear is one of my most basic designs - Front Porch Pullover!

This basic drop-shoulder sweater is worked top down in fingering weight yarn + lace weight mohair to get a DK gauge. I used KFO Merino & mohair in Rust ♡

Sunny windowsill & swatches for summer designs 𖤓

Designing can be strange since I’m usually knitting for two seasons ahead of the current one, but today I’m enjoying dreaming of summer - when the designs I’m currently working on will be released ♡

If you're like me and feeling a bit sick of winter, it doesn't hurt to start on some warm season knits! My Sunshine Tee will be one of my first warm weather knits I'll break out when the time comes. I'm already in full-on warm season knitting mode as well, preparing all my spring & summer releases ☀︎

Last weekend was the one year anniversary of the Aion Cowl release! ▲▽▲▽

I’ve only made two accessory patterns so far, but I want to do more! I love accessories because they’re a great palette cleanser between larger projects, and also a great chance to try out new techniques & color schemes 🌈
February 12, 2025 at 8:17 PM
I’m going to knit my first ever blue project for myself for the #SkyKAL! This is Ritual Dyes Undine DK in Hyacinth and I’m going to be starting a new design with this yarn this month 🦋🐳🌀

I put on a sweater this morning that I had almost completely forgotten about!! This is my 2nd Funfetti Raglan worked in 5 colors of BT’s Arbor. Going to make sure this sweater gets its rightful spot in the regular rotation from now on!

Funfetti Raglan is out now on Ravelry & my website 💗
