THE PERFECT COZY CABLED HOODIE
Knitting4 CommentsOK, it may still be August, but I have the perfect pattern to throw on at the beach bonfire, or when the Fall chill starts to come in. And I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty cute. The perfect cabled hoodie that is slightly cropped, batwinged, and has a hoodie that you are going to fall head over heels for!
KNIT YOUR OWN TEE TIME TEE
Knitting1 CommentIt’s time to hit the golf course! Just kidding my love. You don’t have to be a golfer to fall in love with this Tee Time Tee. You just need a love for the simple, classic, and basic white t-shirt that you always grab from your closet.
KNIT YOUR OWN SWEATER SCARF
Knitting6 CommentsIs it a wrap? Is it a scarf? Does it have sleeves? Is it a “sneed’ from the Lorax. It’s all of the above! The Wrapped up in Cables Sweater Scarf is essentially a big massive lacy scarf that has cuffs/sleeves on either end. the magic though? how you wear it. You can wear this babe in multiple ways, and each way creates the most stunning wrap look.
The Easy Eyelet Yoke Collection & KAL
Knitting2 CommentsFirst, I just want to tell you how excited I am to have the Easy Eyelet Yoke Cardigan join the Easy Eyelet Yoke collection. Back in 2019 when I came out with the original Easy Eyelet Yoke Pullover I had no clue that not only it would take off so much, but it would become my top-selling pattern of all time, and spur a collection of spin offs.
KNITTING THE SOLO VEST
Knitting2 CommentsThis design is one of those ones where they turned out completely opposite of what you had hoped, but in doing so become their own little miracle. The evolution of this design:
THE PERFECT SEXY OFF -THE-SHOULDER KNIT SWEATER
Knitting1 CommentI have always loved the idea of a sexy, off-the-shoulder sweater. Effortlessly chic, but that you could still curl up next to the fire, pull on your comfy cozy socks, and nestle in for a good read. Even though there isn’t a lot of skin shown, it’s that subtle illusion to seeing more that just makes you feel like a goddess.
KNIT YOUR OWN GRANDPA CARDI
Knitting1 CommentThere are things that you’ll always want to design. Those extra grande, extra hard, extra special projects that you know will take way more brainpower than you expect, so you put them off to the side until you’re “better”. That was me with the Jiji Cardi.
KNITTING A SKIRT - PEEK-A-BOO MAXI SKIRT
Knitting7 CommentsThese are the types of things that fly into my head right as it hits the pillow.
I was in a lurch of what to start working on for my next Lion Brand pattern when this maxi skirt idea hit me. By this point it was the beginning of August, and I was already prepping for October. It’s odd to think of pumpkins and crunching leaves in the middle of a heatwave, but here I was… wondering what amazing pattern I could make for Fall.
KNITTING A TOP DOWN RAGLAN
Knitting8 CommentsIf you’ve been following me for the last couple of years, you’ll know that I am in love with top-down sweaters. there’s something just so great about being able to continuously knit in the round, while also trying the pullover on to give it a fit check.
KNITTING A DICKIE - OCTOBER KNITCRATE
Knitting7 Comments“You pitched them a WHAT?!” Todd says. “A dickie” I replied. “You’re telling me… that you pitched a knit dick-IE… in a subscription box?” he asks. Yup Todd, yup I did. This probably isn’t something I ever expected to do - but I did.
LionBrand Countdown to Christmas - Turas Celtic Scarf & Silver Bell Sweater
KnittingCommentDare I say it’s time to count down for Christmas? To start prepping those perfect knit Celtic cable scarves for your mother-in-law as a gift, or get your sparkly outfit on your needles. Yup. It’s that time! Welcome to the Lion Brand Countdown to Christmas.
FEISTY FIBRES CABLE COWL + HAT SET
KnittingCommentI’m going to let you in on a big ol’ dirty secret - and don’t worry, Karen from Feisty Fibres already knows it…
PINCH ME CROP TOP
KnittingCommentDid you know that the Pinch Me Crop Top wasn’t actually supposed to be a Pinch Me Crop Top? To be honest, it started off as something completely different. Just some ribbing, then a whoops, and a big ol’ “PIVOT!”.
TULIP WRAP TANK: Knitting with Truboo
KnittingCommentI swear the best patterns come out of your ass.
Did that sentence get your attention? Lol. But really! The Tulip Wrap Tank came out of NOWHERE!
Easy Eyelet Yoke Dress
KnittingCommentAs knitters and crocheters we’ve all had that compliment on a sweater right? Now multiply it by 10, and that’s what getting that compliment is like on a dress. You BLOW their mind.
THE WRAP ME UP SWEATER SCARF
Knitting5 CommentsBeginner Sweaters: Knitting a Top Down Raglan
Knitting8 CommentsTop down? Nope. No thanks. This is what I thought when I was just dipping my toes into making a sweater. As a knitter it took me forever to get to knitting a top down sweater and I think it’s because I didn’t understand it. So I’m here to break it down for you so it’s not as stressful, and you can have an idea of how a raglan is worked!
HOW I USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFLUENCE MY DESIGNS
KnittingCommentI can’t be the only person who hoards yarn for a long time right? Not because I don’t want to use it… but because no design will ever be good enough for it. That my friends was my six balls of Alpaca Pure that I picked up from Purl Soho during the Lion Brand Blogger Bash in March 2019. So after it collecting dust for almost a year, and my eyes lusting after it every time I passed, I finally said fuck it and just decided to use it without much thought other than: “Top down raglan, wider collar”.
4 DIFFERENT WAYS TO STYLE A CROPPED SWEATER
KnittingCommentGimme a C-R-O-P!
I’l be completely honest with you, it has taken me a long time to get into the cropped sweater style. There’s something about the idea of showing off my midriff that makes me unsettled.
