I love it when this happens! Such a heart warming

I love it when this happens!

Such a heart warming reminder of this special message from a customer 2014.

It's that satisfying!? Watching stitch upon stitc

It's that satisfying!?

Watching stitch upon stitch develop into the most beautiful math equation 💕

Cambria is working up beautifully soft! I know I'm going to wear this one a lot!

What have you made that you wear a lot?

Does swatching matter? The honest answer is "some

Does swatching matter?

The honest answer is "sometimes".

Isn't that frustrating!?

But here's the thing.

Swatching is about getting to know how your yarn and needles are working together. Sticky needles with sticky yarn, and you'll wonder why you're fighting with your project! Or slippery needles and slippery yarn, and you'll be fighting to keep the stitches from falling off from being dropped everywhere. Pairing the right needles with the right yarn is crucial. But also helps you to know if you're getting the correct number of stitches, that's the obvious reason 😉

It's also getting to know the pattern repeats. Better to try out new stitch combinations in your Swatch then in your garment! What if you don't like it the way that left leaning decrease looks? And you decide you want to try a different one? Well in your Swatch you could substitute one left leaning decrease for another if you wanted to, and have it be in consequential because it's in your swatch!

Moral of the story: it's better to find out in your Swatch what isn't working, then to find out in the middle of your garment, or fight through your garment and be frustrated with the whole project.

I almost got distracted! Shiny object Syndrome?

I almost got distracted!

Shiny object Syndrome? Maybe a little yarn project FOMO?
Does that happen to you? Raise your hand in the comments: 👋🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

My brain immediately said: "If I'm knitting this beautiful lace sweater with the delicious alpaca linen, how can I be crocheting a warm squishy beanie with this lovely llama!? The beanie is way faster to finish! But I've been wanting the sweater and will wear it"
Then it quickly devolves down the "Million WIPs" rabbit hole, and then NONE OF THEM ARE GETTING FINISHED!

I was getting out the Cambria so I can wind it to get my Lace Wings Tunic started this afternoon, and right there next to it is all the squishy softness of Llama Una! Begging me to crochet up another ODA Cable Beanie! <3

What's a girl to do?
Well, I held my ground.
Stayed disciplined, and am ONLY Starting the Lace Wings Tunic ... today ;)

It's not good enough. I love wearing my Lace Wing

It's not good enough.

I love wearing my Lace Wings Tunic! It's comfortable and wearable!

But the pattern is due for an update to make it better! To make sure the layout and phrasing are easy for you to understand and knit through.

I'm prepping supplies to knit another version of this Lace Wings Tunic that I designed a few years ago. I'm excited to knit through it again, this time using a different yarn.

Originally designed with Hempathy, this time I'm going to use Cambria! And I want your input on which color you'd see me wear!

Vote in the comments! Or send me a DM
1) brown
2) raspberry
3) grey
4) lavender

I might be more than just a little excited! I jus

I might be more than just a little excited!

I just picked up these prototype yarn bowls from T's Garage ☺️

The design is a work in progress, but they are beautifully handmade and I like where this is going 💕

Which is your favorite color?
