I know I started writing about this hat in the fall and should have gotten this pattern out ages ago, but I was once again the victim of my own lack of organization. I lost my notes. There, I said it. I’m a hot mess. I was so excited when I was making the hat that I didn’t really make …

There’s nothing like a yarn delivery to brighten up a cloudy day! Yup, that’s the Girls Night In final limited edition of the Scheepjes Hygge CAL designed by the lovely Kirsten from Haak Maar Raak! I was lucky enough to be able to get a kit to give you a sneak preview. Let’s have a closer look… Aren’t the colours beautiful? …

FINALLY! My BlueSand Cardigan finished! Well, it’s been finished for a while but I’ve been so busy wearing it and loving it that I haven’t gotten around to writing about it! Please ignore the state of me in the photo. I’m dreadfully anemic at the moment and had just had a very long day at Scheepjes for our blogger’s day. I …

I plan to keep track of my Sophie’s Universe project as I go along, but of course, I only decided this once I was part way through!  So there are a few steps I may miss along the way and my initial photos will just be quick Instagram pics I took during the process.  No worries, though, as this is …

You can find the details on the yarn and pattern at the end of this post, but here is what the cardigan looks like finished: It’s a project that I have had saved for about a year and have been waiting to have the time to work on …

Look what arrived at my house not too long ago… Aren’t the colors great together?  While browsing Ravelry a while back I came across a project I really loved.  I stuck it in my favorites so I wouldn’t forget about it and went on to work my way through my long, loooong, list of projects that were waiting to be finished.  Recently I …

So, my Sylvi is finished!  I think this was my longest planned, most put off, hardest worked on, most sworn at and awesome project yet! I was was first asked to make this jacket back in August 2014, but between other projects and orders that came along, I just kept pushing it off.  I also was completely intimidated by the intricate pattern on the …
