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!

I don’t usually wear purple, but I’ve wanted to start incorporating more colour into my wardrobe.
I’m trying to show you the one side of the sweater I’ve finished, but it’s very difficult when I’m holding my phone in my other hand. 😅
I really hope it turns out the way I think it will, 🤞 but who knows. I’ve undone entire sweaters before after sewing them together and trying them on. 🙄
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I took some photos today of my Ripple Effect Sweater.
I’ve updated the pattern a bit so I wanted to take photos of the new one I made that reflects a better fit.
The updated version is now available in my Etsy shop and over at lovecrafts.com.
It’s a great sweater to transition you from Winter to Spring. 🦋
Happy knitting!

So I finished this toddler sweater. Yay me! LOL! It’s such a quick knit.
I used up the left over yarn from my “Fall Rushes In Wrap”.
I made it a bit bigger than needed so hopefully the little guy will get at least 2 seasons out if it.
I can’t wait to see it on him! 🙂
Happy Saturday everyone.

My “River Rocks Swoncho” is done!
It’s the ultimate big, cozy sweater that’s perfect paired with your favourite leggings. Or wear it as a poncho!
It’s knit in 2 pieces using 2 strands of yarn held at one time and seamed together so perfect for the beginner knitter.
I still have to finish writing out the pattern and take pictures so the pattern should be ready to release by mid January.
Stay tuned! 😁

Another simple sweater I’m knitting using Caron Simply Soft yarn in Charcoal Heather.
Some may think it’s a poncho, but it’s going to be sewn together more like a sweater.
Maybe it should be called a swoncho??? 🤔 Lol!
What are you working on today?

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!

Finally the Bruch Anyone? sweater pattern has been released!
The Brunch Anyone? sweater is a very boxy, loose fitting sweater that flatters many different shapes.
It’s a cropped sweater that features 3/4 length sleeves and a boat neckline.
Knit with US size 9 circular needles (to hold the stitches only as the piece is knit flat) using approximately 1000 yards of acrylic DK weight yarn (also known as #3 or light weight). I used Stylecraft Special DK in Khaki.
Available in my Etsy shop and over at loveknitting.com.
This pattern is beginner friendly, but if you need help, I’m always here to answer any questions you may have!
HAPPY KNITTING!

Happy knitting.
