I bought this yarn 🧶 in NYC last year and it took me a while to figure out a design to do it justice. How did I do? #knitsky #knittingdesign

These vintage buttons used to be sewn to this sweater but they were too heavy so no I wear them as earrings with it instead. 🧶 #knittingdesign #knitsandjewellry

A cowl like this is the perfect solution when you just want a little coziness but not a full shawl or cardi 👌🏽 This pattern is my own, the Korean meanders, and it’s available both long and short and with a wide and snug neck. #knitsky #knittingdesign
