Mostly knitting, crochet and nature posts.

This is looking amazing, I really hope it is only 120 and not 150 - that's a lot of rows! And Cashew is adorable!! He reminds a bit of my Veve, who is always stealing blankets and loves yarn of all kinds!

Did I finish all my knit WIP’s in anticipation of GAL, yes! Did I feel lost without my knitting despite the big crochet blanket, also yes! So decided to start my next book socks too tide me over until the cast on party!

Pattern: Sparkling Human socks

Hehe, it was yummy!! I tried a cinnamon and nutmeg base for the apricot portion, but it was slightly tart - think I would tweak it a little if I made it again and perhaps try a crumble topping!! Was delicious with the vanilla ice cream though!! 🧶💕🐰✨✨✨

Lol, I think the name is little misleading, when I saw the it I was thinking more earthy notes, like cedar, sandalwood or bergamot, but... It's a floral blend of rose and vanilla, it's lovely though and I find it quite soothing, it seems both rose ans vanilla reduce stress and anxiety ✨🧘🏻‍♀️
