I came across this test knit opportunity on Instagram. This was love at first sight. I was first attracted by the ribbon tied back. Then I realized how intricate the sleeve design was. I was a little bit intimidated at first. But once I read through the instruction, I got a hang of it. I… Continue reading Casagrande from River Road Knits
I got an opportunity to test knit for thepetiteknitter again. This time was a sock pattern called Clairedelune. This was my first hand knit sock. Seems like socks are quite a popular knitting subject in the knitting community. I was very hesitant to knit socks because I wear out my regular socks quite frequently. I… Continue reading Clairedelune Sock by thepetiteknitter
The hardest thing for me to do lately when knitting a sweater was to choose the right colors. I am constantly Googling color combos. I want something that standsout but not flashy. It's very time consuming. Of course it doesn't always work out. Then the sweater is buried in a dark corner of my closet.… Continue reading Tecumseh by Caitlin Hunter
During last year's holiday party at Fancy Tiger, the knitters voted Cottongrass Jumper by the Petite Knitter to be the knit along piece for 2020. I decided to try Kelbourne Woolens Scout in Mint Heather and Natural because I thought by the time this is done, it'll be spring. I knitted in Women's S. The… Continue reading Cottongrass Jumper by the Petite Knitter
I was so honored to test knit for the petite knitter's new jumper: Snøfrost. This was my first time test knit. I knitted in size XS instead of S because I desperately wanted to test knit. I was a little worry it won't fit me. It turned out fitting pretty well. I just can't gain… Continue reading Snøfrost Jumper by the petite knitter

I completed quite a few projects that I can't wait to share and add them to my collection. For now, I'll start with my most recently… Continue reading Wool & Honey by Andrea Mowry
I was so glad to participate the knit along hosted by Fancy Tiger Crafts. I've never done color work and steeking. This was such a great learning experience. I can't wait to go to their knit along closing party to see other versions of kals. I used the recommended yarn, Beiroa from Retrosaria. My color… Continue reading Vivarium Kal
I am not much of a wrap person, but I found this wrap design fascinating and wanted to make it. One of my co-workers wears a lot of scarves and wraps. She also wrote a recommendation for my grad school application. I thought this would be perfect for her. This wrap was designed by Debra… Continue reading Ephemeris Wrap
It has been awhile since I blogged. Not that I stopped knitting. I was so busy knitting this Rose cardigan. One lesson learned was gauging. This cardigan has turned out really big even I skipped half of the body on each quadrant. I used Primrose sock yarn (from dark to light): Big Gruesome, Landslide, Embers,… Continue reading Rose Cardigan by Andrea Mowry
My son has been really into Pocoyo. So last year's Halloween, I decided to make him a Pocoyo outfit and make myself an Elly outfit. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to make a jumpsuit, instead I just made a sweater top. This sweater was made with knitting and crochet. The sweater body and hood… Continue reading Pocoyo Elly’s Top
