I love seeing new patterns too, so I wasn’t particularly surprised. :) This post features 10 knitting patterns that have recently caught my eye and are now on my to-knit list. If there’s a pattern here you particularly love or can’t wait to knit, let me know in the comments!

      I agree! If you click through to the page linked below the image, you can contact the designer on her site. She would know where you can get it in print.

    I like both the cowl and Marisco wrap. I’ll definitely have to add them to my “to do” list.

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
