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.

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
