Hiya!! It's been a whirlwind summer and now fall, but I'm pleased to say that I finally am releasing #TsunamiShawl!! Inspired by Ponyo, this triangular shawl features a lot of textures and stitches that create "waves". It uses 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn and a mini. 💕 Link in profile!

Getting in some knitting here and there! Enjoying this yarn from Hawari Bazaar, while I'm working on my next design. 💕

#YugiTee is now out! Links in profile. Worked in collaboration with Yarn Matter. The kits are now sold out, but Yugi is the perfect tee to play around with color with!! Stripes, full gradient, color block, two tone, one solid color... It's all looked great so far!

A woman stands in front of a fence and water behind her. She wears a pastel, rainbow gradient knit tee (Yugi tee). There's a sun flare directly behind her so her face is hard to make out.

Hmm, my cast-on-itis at the end of 2024 is catching up to me... I now am feeling the urgent need to get things finished up, but none of them are anywhere near finishing up. 😅🫠

How is it that all of my size 8 needles are "missing"?? I mean, I know one of them is in a project I'm actively working on, but all of the other ones are also in other projects I'm working on?? 🫠

I need to be doing other things... Like advertising my Nightingale KAL that starts on Monday, or talk up my Patreon (which is in the middle of the 1st month of a year long exclusive KAL), etc... But instead, I'm just posting a kiddo sweater that I need to finish before kiddo outgrows it already 🫠.

A "pumpkin spice" colored sweater with a cable down the middle of the front is partially knitted and laying on a dark wood surface. It is missing one sleeve and the other sleeve is still on the needles.
