Worsted shawl pattern inside 🧶

Hello!

How are you? I’m so excited to show you something I did in Reno!

I got to go to Jimmy Beans Wool! While my husband was doing conferencey things, a friend of mine who lives there took me yarn shopping!
​

I was so awestruck I didn’t even play this claw machine! Looking at the picture now, I’m like “why didn’t I even try?” I guess I’ll have to go back next year. With a big ol’ bag of quarters!
​

​

I did manage to find some yarn! The two on top are going to be a Kraken hat, so stay tuned for that.

​

Free Pattern!

The 4th week of every month (starting now! 🤣🤪), I send out a free pattern. You can download it right in the email without having to put your email address in again. This one is called Reap What You Sow, and you can download it here 👉🏻 Reap What You Sow final.pdf​

I love this one because the stripes remind me of rows of crops (hence the name!)! It’s knit with a strand of worsted and a strand of lace weight held together. You could totally leave out The lace if you wanted.

It’s warm and cozy AND geometric and orderly! What’s not to love!?! Oh- and FREE! 🤣 Download it now so you have it for a rainy day.

____________ of the week:

Pattern

I’ve worn this hat a million times. It’s one of my favorites! It’s slouchy and the stars give off a superhero vibe.

Sticker

Halloween yarn! I wish I was knitting with Halloween colors right now! But I can’t because as soon as I finish writing to you, I’ve got to walk to school and get my babies! Are you too busy to knit today, too? Buy yourself a yarn sticker and see if that makes you feel better! 🤪

Bruno

I think this picture speaks for itself. Bruno is a cutie.

​
​3 cool things:

Store bought decor we could totally make ourselves. But I love it!

More crocheted decor. This one is just okay in my opinion. But it inspires me to make a cuter one!

My finished festival beer cozies! I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t add…

I still need to weave in the ends! 🤣🤪 Go ahead and make bets on whether I actually do. All those ends are just one more layer of wool to insulate our beer!

Hello!!! How are you!?! As I type this, I’m waiting for UPS to show up with my Bruno stickers. I can’t wait to see them! Speaking of stickers, I finally got all of my stickers up on Etsy! It feels good to have it done. Of course, when I started making knitting stickers, it was because I wanted them. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the search data and found that pretty much nobody else is looking for them. 🤣🤪😭 Maybe you need stickers for every knitter you’ve ever met…? 😂🤣😂 My holiday...
