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!

Back Porch Shawl…

I got my Back Porch Shawl done last night and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s been years since I made my last one.

For this one I used Caron Simply Soft in Charcoal Grey, Ocean Blue and Light Country Blue.

This is one of the very first patterns I ever wrote and remains my number one seller!

You can grab a copy in my Etsy shop!

Happy Sunday. 🙂

A new Meet Me For Coffee sweater…

Coffee anyone?? ☕️  I got my “Meet Me For Coffee” sweater all sewn up and I’m loving it! Just in time for the cooler weather.


Knit in 1 piece using only the garter stitch, makes this pattern ideal for beginner knitter.

I like to wear mine with the seams exposed for a more casual look, but you have the option of also wearing it without the seams showing.

Great for casual dates with your person or, of course, coffee with friends!

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop and over at lovecrafts.

Why don’t you head over and grab yourself the pattern and start one this weekend? 😉

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to all my Canadian friends!

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! 😘

Her name is Vivie…

My Vivie Sweater is now sewn up. 🙂  I still have to weave in the ends though.

I really don’t know why I procrastinate so much when it comes to sewing. 🤔 It never takes me long!

Anyways, now to write pattern out and take photos, but I’m not in a hurry.

I’m planning to publish this sweater and the Autumn Harvest Cocoon Sweater both in August, so stay tuned!

It’s going to be a hot, hot week here in Windsor so I’m planning to spend the rest of the week in the pool!! 🏊‍♀️

It’s off the needles…

I’m done!!! 😁 Well, I still have to sew it together, but it’s off my needles!

I pinned it together so I could try it on, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I don’t have a name yet though. 🤔 Maybe I’ll come up with one this weekend!

It’s finally supposed to warm up, so I’m hoping to get in the pool for a swim!

Happy Sunday!

Garnet Red…

I’m done my Brunch Anyone? sweater in Garnet red! Just in time for Valentine’s Day! ❤️

I’m choosing to wear this one without the seams exposed for a more polished look, but I could always turn it inside out exposing the seams for a casual, weekend feel.

This boxy sweater is knit using DK yarn and has 3/4 lengths sleeves and a boat neckline. The pattern is very beginner friendly and comes with instructions on how to modify the size.

Grab a copy today in my Etsy shop. It’s a quick knit and you could finish it in a few days! 🙂

Happy knitting!

They fit perfectly…

My girlfriend sent me some pictures of her twin grandsons in their sweaters I made them.

They fit perfectly! Thank goodness! LOL! Because they took me SO long to finish!

Don’t they look absolutely adorable?? 😍

It’s a rainy and cold day here, so I’ll be staying in and knitting. 🙂

I hope you have a great day!
