Casagrande from River Road Knits

August 26, 2020August 25, 2020 conknitloo

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

Clairedelune Sock by thepetiteknitter

May 18, 2020May 18, 2020 conknitloo

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

Tecumseh by Caitlin Hunter

May 3, 2020May 3, 2020 conknitloo

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

Cottongrass Jumper by the Petite Knitter

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

Snøfrost Jumper by the petite knitter

March 2, 2020March 1, 2020 conknitloo

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

Hello everyone.  Happy 2020!

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

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Connie. I knit every spare minute I have. I sometimes knit when I’m walking my kid. I have so many ideas that sometimes they are tangled in my head. I wish I have all the time in the world so I can make all my design ideas come true, RIGHT NOW!
