Yesterday I decided now should be the time I finally learn to crochet a scrappy granny stripe blanket. And thanks to my LYS @perfectblendyarnshop and their curbside pickup for all emergency fiber craft needs (because what even is a C hook??), I was able to get started! Hard to believe this tiny rope of yarn scraps will eventually be a blanket, but now I completely get why people say crochet is so addictive!
Happy Sunday Morning - I have everything I need and I hope you do to ❤️
Latest stash busting project. It is a fade and it looks a lot like a very popular shawl but I’m sort of making it up as I go. 🤷‍♀️
Two days ago I finished my Spring Bloom shawl by Janina Kallio of @woolenberry - and I am in love with this light and airy, sparkly accessory. The pattern was exactly what I needed now. Mostly pretty mindless with enough interest to keep me going. The yarn is a skein by @cakewoolco that I received in my @perfectblendyarnshop subscription box and a skein of @voolenvine that I was gifted in a Fibreshare. It has been fun to work through my stash and WIPs during this quarantine!
And once again I return to my greatest source of comfort. This crisis has been incredibly challenging both personally and professionally. I’m grateful to have my job but anyone working in PR knows the unending crisis comms work can be taxing, and yet I’m even more grateful it’s work I can conduct from the safety of a newly carved out “office” in my spare bedroom. The rhythm of super simple knitting (don’t be deceived, that lace is a 6-stitch, 2-row repeat) is soothing and offers predictability amid chaos. I hope everyone is hanging in there and staying healthy (and staying home). ❤️ I’m between Zoom meetings right now but I will post info on pattern and yarn ASAP. Just wanted to pop in and share what I’m up to.
Really enjoying my latest WIP, which is seen here on my new weighted blanket that my BF gave me for Christmas (I slept like a log last night btw). This is the “Fibrefest 2018 Shawl” by @domknit using yarn by @tobyroxane in Pining and Golden Hour. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄❄️🎁❄️🎄 #knitting #knitstagram #i #knitter #maker #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #yarn #yarnporn #yarnaddict #nevernotknitting #knitflix #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #igknitters #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittinglove #knitting_inspiration #ravelry
