Hiya!! It's been a whirlwind summer and now fall, but I'm pleased to say that I finally am releasing #TsunamiShawl!!

Inspired by Ponyo, this triangular shawl features a lot of textures and stitches that create "waves".

It uses 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn and a mini. 💕 Link in profile!

Awwwww, thank you!! 🥰 It is a fun knit! 🥳

Wow!! This came out so amazingly!! 🤩 Hologram is such a fun one to make!! 💕

This came out so beautifully! And what a sweet story. Knits really do feel like hugs. 💕 So sorry for your loss.

Blue knitting on a pink skirt is in focus with little kids playing in the background out of focus.

Getting in some knitting here and there! Enjoying this yarn from Hawari Bazaar, while I'm working on my next design. 💕

A woman stands in front of a fence and water behind her. She wears a pastel, rainbow gradient knit tee (Yugi tee). There's a sun flare directly behind her so her face is hard to make out.

#YugiTee is now out! Links in profile. Worked in collaboration with Yarn Matter. The kits are now sold out, but Yugi is the perfect tee to play around with color with!! Stripes, full gradient, color block, two tone, one solid color... It's all looked great so far!

Actually, for some reason, I cannot DM you. 😅 So, I will say, Vision Therapy specialists have a tendency to understand prescriptions with prism moreso than a general practitioner. So, that may be a good starting point.

I'll DM you. 💕

So cute!! I love this version!! 🤩

Periwinkle Sheep is the best!!! 🤩

Oops!! I can't believe I forgot to post an update here! #NightingaleHat is now released!! 🎉 Wear it with the brim folded over, beanie style (seen here), or unfolded in the slouchy style! Available in both my Ravelry and Payhip shops (link in bio). 💕

An Asian woman laughs while wearing a textured, slouchy hat. Her hair is black with pink highlights. A colorful playground is seen behind her.

New hat pattern coming soon!! Very excited to be getting some new stuff out and about again!! ☺️ Nightingale hat coming out next month!!

Hmm, my cast-on-itis at the end of 2024 is catching up to me... I now am feeling the urgent need to get things finished up, but none of them are anywhere near finishing up. 😅🫠

An Asian woman with bleached highlights looks at the camera while holding the corner of a pink, lace cowl up. The words March Baker's Dozen KAL are written in white in the lower right corner.

Ok, I've entered my "I *know for a fact* that I've got too many projects going, but I am going to wind yarn for another one anyways" era.

Here's my yarn for my #TheBakersDozen2025 Feb project! #KimberHat Get a copy by subscribing to my Patreon and or via Ravelry or Payhip. All links in bio.

Oh wow, that's very smart!! I always set out with the intention of finishing up my WIP fast, but next things I know... It's half done with me casting on something else. 🤣

I don't even know!! I mean, I think mine are genuinely in other projects that I've forgotten about, but how have I forgotten THIS much about them?? 🫠

How is it that all of my size 8 needles are "missing"?? I mean, I know one of them is in a project I'm actively working on, but all of the other ones are also in other projects I'm working on?? 🫠

Sure!

Not gonna lie, this one is a FAVORITE of my hand knits!!

😮 it's so good!!! 😍

Woohoo!!

I am hoping to get more kiddo patterns out for sure!! 💕🥰

Thanks to a VERY generous donation, I can gift enough yarn to make a #NightingaleCardigan or #NightingalePullover for the #NightingaleKAL2025 🥳
