Ephemeris Wrap

May 14, 2019May 14, 2019 conknitloo

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

Rose Cardigan by Andrea Mowry

April 4, 2019April 4, 2019 conknitloo

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

Pocoyo Elly’s Top

January 13, 2019January 13, 2019 conknitloo

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

Triple Triple Cable

December 25, 2018December 25, 2018 conknitloo

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

Loopy Mango Headband with Mohair So Soft

December 9, 2018 conknitloo

Loopy Mango did a trunk show at my local craft store back in October.  They had numerous products for customers to sample.  I tried on a few hats.  Then I subconsciously tried on this headband and fell in love with it instantly.  This headband was inconspicuous, but yet I feel like it was a perfect… Continue reading Loopy Mango Headband with Mohair So Soft

Pearl Vest (Pattern Inside)

December 2, 2018January 10, 2019 conknitloo

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)

Pearl White Fuzzy Pompom Beanie (Pattern Inside)

November 25, 2018January 10, 2019 conknitloo

I used the leftover yarn from my Aster Flower Scarf to make this beanie. One skein of Wool and the Gang Crazy Sexy Wool and one skein of We Are Knitters Wool made one beanie and one cowl. This hat was a little too big for me.  If I had to do it again, I… Continue reading Pearl White Fuzzy Pompom Beanie (Pattern Inside)

Bormio Sweater from WAK

November 25, 2018November 25, 2018 conknitloo

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

Baby Halloween!

October 13, 2018January 10, 2019 conknitloo

If you've been following my posts, I re-started crocheting while I was pregnant.  This was my son's first Halloween.  Probably like many parents, I decided very early on, I would put him in a pumpkin.  And I should make him a hat and boots to go with it.  So there he was, wearing mom made… Continue reading Baby Halloween!

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!
