Photos…✔️

I finally got the photos taken of my Mountain Cabin Cardigan for my pattern.

The final step to publishing my pattern is to get it written up and then published.

Oh, I do have to still make a little video on how to pick up the stitches for the cuffs! 😬 Oh boy!

I was hoping to have this pattern out at the end of last year, but we were so busy with the holidays it didn’t happen. 🙄

But it’s coming! I promise! 😁

Happy Sunday everyone!

Vest remake…

I got my vest finished. ✔️ Now to just make the pockets and get those sewn on and I’m done!

This is a remake of a vest I had already completed, but when I went to take off a pocket to move it, I snipped the wrong stitch, it started to unravel and I just couldn’t save it! 🙄

I’m happy with this one too, though. The colour is “Mink” and I just love it! ❤️ It’s very neutral and will go with everything I own.

So off to finish the pockets. Have a great Saturday everyone!

PATTERN RELEASE – The Casual Friday Sweater

The Casual Friday Sweater will quickly become one of your favourites – it’s one of those pieces you can reach for really any day of the week – not just Fridays!

For work, pair it with black slacks and flats for a polished, effortless look. And when evening rolls around, it transitions beautifully – just swap in a skirt and heels, and you’re ready for dinner out.

It’s cozy without being bulky, stylish without trying too hard, and will go with just about everything in your closet.

Head over to my Etsy shop or to Lovecrafts to grab your copy today!

Happy knitting.

Off the needles…

I got my Mountain Cabin Cardigan off the needles last night!

Just have to add the cuffs, sew it up and reinforce the edges in the front so they sit more flat. Then it will be completely done! 😉 Oh, and weave in the ends!! Lol!

This was actually a pretty quick knit. I used 2 strands of Aran weight yarn held together and large needles.

I’m not too sure when I’ll have the pattern ready, but hopefully before the end of the year! 🤞

Have a wonderful day!

A long vest…

This gorgeous green piece is going to be a long vest! I don’t have a long vest in my wardrobe yet and wanted one, so what better than to make myself one! 😁

I’m going to add pockets (because pockets are great) and maybe fringes on the bottom. 🤔

Oh, and please don’t mind the stripped bed in the background! LOL! It’s linen washing day!

This weekend is sunny and warm here, so I’ll be heading into the pool soon. I want to get in as much swimming as I can before we close the pool for the season.

I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend! 😘

Another sweater done…

I got my sweater sewn up! 😁 I’ve decided to call it “The Casual Friday Sweater”.



This is the fourth piece I want to write a pattern for, so I better get at it.

I promised most patterns would be available in August, and it’s now August!

I’ve just been feeling very creative lately and like to take advantage of that when I can.

It’s Friday today, so I’m wishing everyone an amazing weekend ahead!

No name yet…

It was a good day to finish a sweater! 😁

Well, not quite finished. I still have to sew it up and weaven in the ends! 🙄

This one is still nameless. It’s a super easy and quick chunky knit that’s stylish and versatile.

I’m hoping to have this pattern also available in the Fall of this year, so stay tuned!

Second time’s a charm…

My Autumn Harvest cocoon sweater is off the needles! 😁

This is my second attempt at designing this sweater and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I pinned it together to try it on, so it still has to be sewn up.

We’re having friends for dinner this weekend, so I won’t have time to sew it today because I have to clean! 😅

Having finished all these projects lately, my house got a bit neglected. 🙄

Have a great day!

Making headway…

I’m making headway on the re-do of my Autumn Harvest Cocoon Sweater.

I modified the pattern a bit and so far, this one is knitting up straight!

Whew!! 😁

Have a great day and happy knitting!

Toddler sweaters…

These toddler sweaters are all tagged and ready to be delivered! I made them for a friend’s twin grandsons.

I started them over 6 months ago and used measurements she gave me then, so I hope they will fit! 🤞

They were so fun and easy to knit. I saw a picture of a similar sweater and just created these based on that image. And using 2 strands of DK yarn held together makes them extra squishy and warm.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy knitting!
