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 bought this pattern last summer and started making it. But 3/4 of the way through, I realized it was too small. I bought new fabric this year, but I didn't pay attention to the width of the fabric. I bought 3 yards with 44" width but the suggested width was 48". I didn't have… Continue reading Amelie Dress by Untitled Thoughts
I fell in love making bags after completing Klum House's Slabtown. I quickly ordered the Fremont Maker's Kit with natural as the main fabric and berry as the accent fabric. I didn't have to order additional tools this time. It took me around three hours to make this bag. Compared to Slabtown, this one was… Continue reading Fremont Tote by Klum House
It was summer last year when I first saw this Slabtown Backpack on Klum House's Instagram. It was love at first sight. I searched and searched, trying to find the pattern. Unfortunately, it was only taught at their studio in Portland, OR. But the good news was they were planning to release the pattern this… Continue reading Slabtown Backpack by Klum House
I bought a pair of lounge pants in China a few years ago, and they were really comfortable. I only could wear them on the weekends, so it didn't make sense to have more than a pair. However, a week into Colorado's Stay At Home order, I realized how nice it would be to have… Continue reading Free-Range Slacks from Sew House Seven
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
Hello everyone. Happy 2020! It has been awhile since I updated this blog. The last few months of 2019 was quite crazy. But that didn't stopped me from knitting. 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
