Hiya!! It's been a whirlwind summer and now fall, but I'm pleased to say that I finally am releasing #TsunamiShawl!!

Inspired by Ponyo, this triangular shawl features a lot of textures and stitches that create "waves".

It uses 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn and a mini. 💕 Link in profile!

Getting in some knitting here and there! Enjoying this yarn from Hawari Bazaar, while I'm working on my next design. 💕

#YugiTee is now out! Links in profile. Worked in collaboration with Yarn Matter. The kits are now sold out, but Yugi is the perfect tee to play around with color with!! Stripes, full gradient, color block, two tone, one solid color... It's all looked great so far!

Oops!! I can't believe I forgot to post an update here! #NightingaleHat is now released!! 🎉 Wear it with the brim folded over, beanie style (seen here), or unfolded in the slouchy style! Available in both my Ravelry and Payhip shops (link in bio). 💕

New hat pattern coming soon!! Very excited to be getting some new stuff out and about again!! ☺️ Nightingale hat coming out next month!!

Hmm, my cast-on-itis at the end of 2024 is catching up to me... I now am feeling the urgent need to get things finished up, but none of them are anywhere near finishing up. 😅🫠

How is it that all of my size 8 needles are "missing"?? I mean, I know one of them is in a project I'm actively working on, but all of the other ones are also in other projects I'm working on?? 🫠

I need to be doing other things... Like advertising my Nightingale KAL that starts on Monday, or talk up my Patreon (which is in the middle of the 1st month of a year long exclusive KAL), etc... But instead, I'm just posting a kiddo sweater that I need to finish before kiddo outgrows it already 🫠.
