Hey there!
Wow, this post has been a long time coming!
The basis of my new blog is to chronicle my knitting adventures. (bet ya never would've guessed that from the title! 😆) I started knitting a lot more towards the end of 2017, as I knitted gifts for friends and family. When 2018 rolled around, a resolution of mine was to knit more and get more involved in the knitting community. Seriously, since making this resolution I use any time to knit! Yes, I always carry my knitting bag with me...like any good knitter does! Thus, the creation of my knitting blog was born. I know I always love following other knitters and drawing inspiration from them, so I hope my blog can be that source for you!
Since I'm 8 months behind 🙈 (due to major procrastiknitting) I'll do a quick catch up on my FOs (finished objects) to-date!
**p.s. - head to my Ravelry page and you can find all the details about my projects!**
2017 included:
'Roxie the Hippo' by Lauren Slagle of lolodidit
An adorable 'Clementine Hoodie', by Carrie Bostick Hoge, for my coworker's precious daughter
A pair of 'Hemlock Mitts', by Gabriella Henry, for a friend
Now let's see what I've been up to so far in 2018!
My first project of 2018 was a pair of vanilla socks
My second project was another pair of vanilla socks...but in this stinkin' cute yarn from Artistic Yarn by Abi that knits up like a cheeseburger!
For my first-ever adult garment, I made myself a 'Tegna', by Caitlin Hunter of Boyland Knitworks
In line with keeping my vow of knitting more in 2018 and getting more involved in the knitting community, I did my first-ever test knit! The pattern was the adorable 'As If Tee' by Shay Johnson. This was also my first time using mohair!
My latest FO is this sweet 'Hanami Dress', by Lisa Chemery, for a friend whose first niece was just born!
Phew, now you're caught up on what I've accomplished so far.
Here's a list of my current WIPs (works-in-progress):
1. version 2 of the Xtina Crop
2. a Campside Cardi
3. a Frenchy Turban for a friend
4. a short sleeved Sipila sweater
5. a Mount Pleasant Tee
6. a pair of vanilla socks
Oh! And in other yarny, but non-knitting, news, I put my new Cricut to good use to make a cheeky knitting tee! 😉 It's definitely on my list to make more...and I'm hoping one day I can start selling them!
