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
Designing is so hard! I'm sorry I open this post with a complain. I restarted so many times. Then once it was completed, I wasn't so satisfy with the sprinkle pink with the natural. I was hoping the natural would be more white. I started off the front with the same number of stitches as… Continue reading Triple Triple Cable
A while ago, I ordered We Are Knitters Whitney Cardigan kit. Unfortunately, I didn't like how over-sized it was. I decided to make a vest cardigan out of it instead. I'm still new to writing patterns. If you end up trying this and something doesn't look right, please don't hesitant to contact me. Pattern: Abbreviation:… Continue reading Pearl Vest (Pattern Inside)
This was one of the kits I wanted really bad from We Are Knitters. The cable looked so interesting. This was rated as Advanced. It looked intimidating. But once I got a hang of it, it wasn't that difficult. I thought I was a genius when I used the stitch marker as cable needle. I… Continue reading Bormio Sweater from WAK
There was a sale on Loopy Mango. So I got a white and blue cones of their cotton yarn. I'm so in love their their cotton yarn. I wanted to buy all the colors. Unfortunately, they are kind of pricey. I'll have to buy a few at a time. Two things I hate the most… Continue reading Sky Color Block Top (Pattern Inside)
This is my first purchased pattern. This pattern was from Universal Yarn. I tried to follow the pattern many times and I didn't get it how it meant to be. So I changed the pattern on row 5. I moved the * to after k4. So instead of k1, *k4, [k2tog]twice, it's k5,*[k2tog]twice. The rest… Continue reading Sea Breeze from Universal Yarn

Working from bottom up. I used garter stitch for this top, which means purl all rows. Cast on 120 st.… Continue reading CoCo Pearl & Wine Top (Pattern Inside)
I was so excited when I got these Loopy Mango Big Cotton. As soon as I got home, I started knitting. There was only one thing I had in mind when I started: linen stitch. Long story short, here's my pattern. As always, comment below if you find any errors in my pattern. Thank you… Continue reading Coco Summer Top (Pattern Inside)
I got this kit when it was 40% off. Since I had never tried the meripaca from We Are Knitters, I thought I would give it a shot. Plus, I wanted to learn how to make the twisty pattern and how to knit the shape of the sleeves. When I got the kit, I couldn't… Continue reading WAK Coleen Sweater
