Almost done, almost done! I'm knitting the sleeves two-at-a-time so that they're the exact same length. And it feels faster, for some reason, even though it technically is not. But when I'm done, I'll be done done. Pattern: #drkNebula by @dreareneeknits Yarn: @bramble_ridge Suri DK in Thunder

The Light As A Feather Hat is knit from the brim to the crown, and features a folded brim, waffle texture, and a light amount of slouchiness. It's one of my favourites to knit and wear, and I'm so glad so many if you love it, too! 🥰 The gorgeous yarn I used is @campfiberyarns Vibrant in Americano

According to my math and measurements so far, this blanket should end up being approximately 38" x 48", a perfect lapghan/throw blanket size 👌 Pattern: #jellyrollblanket by bryonybears Yarn: Scraps of superwash DK and fingering-weight (held double)

My next #songbirdbagcollection will be somewhat limited compared to usual; you can expect my #mediumdrawstringprojectbag and my #grandezipperedpouch in 4 different palettes. I've decided to call this colour scheme "Strawberry Picnic" 🍓🌳 I can't wait to share more!

This hydrangea-coloured sweater was SO fun to knit! Playing with different colours of wool and mohair is my favourite way of marling and fading between colours. Pattern: #sundesweater by @novemberknits Yarn: Gifted @hobbii_yarn Friends Extra Fine Merino with @hobbii_yarn Friends Kid Silk

I wasn't even interested in knitting a blanket until Eunice @therapybycraft posted her go-to joining method tutorial on YouTube, and then I was like, "You know what? I do want to knit this!" and gathered all of my superwash DK and fingering-weight scraps. Pattern: #jellyrollblanket by @bryonybears

My first draft of my #EcholocationSweater. I need to do some work on the pattern, more positive ease and more short row shaping. I'm pleased with the colourwork, and looking forward to knitting a second sample! Pattern: My #EcholocationSweater in the design stage Yarn: @fibreandforge 2020 Ram Lambs

Checking the fit so far 👌 It just needs some more length on both sleeves! What do you think of the colours?

I was unhappy with the fit of the round-neck collar on this cardigan, so I hacked it to make a V-neck. The collar hack worked out well and I'll happily reach for this cardigan now. Details in my Ravelry project notes. #throwbackcardigan by @dreareneeknits in @knit_picks Wool of the Andes Worsted

Hey, thanks for following me in this new space! I'm going to (try to remember to) share the sewing/knitting-related things that I usually do on my other accounts, but mixed with some personal every day life things (like my cats and pretty Vancouver Island scenery), too. Glad to have you here 👋
