I have lost hours of my life to staring at this picture 🥲

HELP do I be responsible and work on finishing up a test knit (I'm sooooo close) or do I start a new cozy WIP in some very cool yarn I just got from the .2020 anniversary sale??

I am in training for the next two days at work to get a new type of therapy certification and I will have a bit of downtime during the lectures. Its nice to have something simple to pick away at for some enhanced crafty concentration 🤪

Pretty sure I deserve an award, not for this pattern specifically, but because I actually turned out a pattern from idea to publication in a week. With an almost 10 month old and being back to work, that's a big deal 🤣

This crochet cuddly carrot seriously takes an hour or less to whip up, and is the perfect addition to your kiddos' Easter basket this year! And the best part? The pattern will cost you nothing. Stash dive or buy your preferred chenille type yarn, and that's the only investment needed!

I bought my Premier Parfait Chunky from in Abbotsford, just sayin 😏

Trying something new here! The goal is to share one video per week documenting my progress with a gigantic crochet project I've been "working" on for over 10 years 🥲 And an even bigger goal attached to this is two publish two more crochet patterns in the next few months!! Hint hint: 🐙

Just a friendly and silly reminder that you too can adorn your friends and family with ridiculous fishy themed toques with the pattern set 🎣

I don't sell physical items anymore usually because my heart has gravitated toward lighter weight yarns and those just don't knit up quickly 🥲 As much as I do believe in supporting local art, I respect the fact that the math does not math when calculating a price for one of these beauties. That being said, if you reeeeaaaallly want one of these finished items, and are curious about the price, we can chat and see if it's right for you!!

I am clearing out some toques for the fall and winter season! All ready to ship hats are in my Etsy shop, and they have all been marked down 15-20%. Plus, they all come with free shipping or free local pick up. Doesn't get much better than that!

I love the variety I get to knit this time of year. So many styles, colours, and patterns. I hope I get to run into some of you in person with my creations keeping your noggins warm!

More dreamy neutrals that came off my needles last week. All of my spare time seems to be going towards fall prep these days and knowing how expensive my tuition is has been my main motivation to keep hustling. Shop local this year for fall finds and gifts, folks 😅

Welp, here they are 😍 Double-knit, chunky, double-brim beanies! I love these cooler tones and they are a welcome change. I am looking forward to all of the beautiful and colourful knits I'll get to make this season!
