This is the Mooncrush Pullover by Jaq Cieslak using Pizzicato tarn by Sweet Paprika Designs. But now, is it me, or is this giving Riddler vibes? Ha ha! I'm sure once the red colour is added it'll all come together.

I finished the body of this Georgie pullover by Libby Johnson, from Laine Issue 8. Now onto the neckband using yarn from the same dye lot. I'm using MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino.

Ice Cream Sundae uses DK-weight yarn in two colours. The contrast colour is for the collar, sleeve hem, and body edging. I chose a pale blue cotton-merino blend yarn for the main colour.

The Ice Cream Sundae bolero calls for 2 buttons to close the front. I had a few button options, and I ultimately chose the two large yellow buttons.

The Ice Cream Sundae bolero is a perfect little shrug for spring. It is such a cute little garment that uses up a small amount of yarn. I might need to knit one for Kaito and another for Sayuri!

This quilt is a soft spot for her to do tummy time and practice rolling. Once she’s older, we can use it as a rug in her room, or repurpose it as a wallhanging to showcase the beautiful fabric.

I hand quilted this playmat. I started with just long, straight runs of stitches, but then I realized I could follow the outline of the clouds. So half the quilt has even stripes, and the other half has a cloud pattern.

I wanted the print on the fabric to really take centre stage, so I didn’t do any fancy piecing for the quilt. Instead, I sewed two pieces of fabric together to make a rectangle for the quilt top, and then two more pieces for the quilt back.

I love the little seed stitch hem! The neck and armholes are also edged in seed stitch.

Today on the blog: Toronto is covered in snow! It's the perfect weekend to knit a blanket. We've created a roundup of different free baby blanket knitting patterns on the blog. After having my second baby, I felt the urge to knit her another baby blanket! Which one of these should I make?

My Oma knit these socks for me maybe 15-20 years ago. I've kept darning them and they still get regular use every winter.

Two feet are shown on a wood floor. They are wearing handknit socks that are white with thin stripes in many colours. The soles of the socks have been darned.

Now that I've reached the stripes, it seems like the knitting is just flying off the needles.

After thinking about my 2025 make nine, I think I developed castonitis! This week I cast on this sweet dress by Sandi Prosser from Knit Simple Winter 2018. I'm using this rich pink cotton-merino yarn from Schulana, from the stash.

Today on the blog: My 2025 Make Nine includes one sewn garment, six knitted garments, and one knit blanket. I also plan to knit for my mom, my daughter, my niece, and myself. Once again, I will try and use up yarn and fabric from my stash for all of it.
