I knit my very first cable in my beautiful Favo Sweater and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I knew I wanted to try an all-over cabled sweater, and I found the Honeycomb Aran pattern by Patons. It turned out super pretty and I already have plans to knit another one for myself.
We recently bought the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. I wanted to share my experience deciding on this treadmill, building it, using it with/without iFit, and how loud the sound is. We live an apartment, so sound/disturbing the neighbors was a big concern. I hope my review is helpful for you:
This cute little sweater was in my queue last year, but I never got around to making it. My niece’s birthday is coming up, and I wanted to make something fun for her. The Pengweeno is the perfect party jacket that I think she’ll love.
I have the most amazing little stash of hand dyed yarn right now, and I wanted to share it before I start knitting through it.
It seems like there are new, fun knitting patterns being released each day. I love planning for my next projects and wanted to share what’s in my knitting queue. If you’re looking for some knitting inspiration, here’s a look at the projects that I plan on knitting this year:
There’s something really special about the start of a new year; it feels fresh and full of possibilities. But that fresh start can happen whenever you choose to begin a new thing, not just on January 1st.

Now that 2020 is almost over, I wanted to reflect on all of the knitting I’ve done this year! I had some ambitious goals at the start of the year — here’s a look back at what my plan was, what I actually made, what my favorites were, and a sneak peek at what’s on my needles now:
It feels like Sephora just had their Holiday Savings sale, and now they’ve announced a new month-long promotional event: Sephorathon! So if you missed picking up some things during the last sale, this may be a good time.
The Flax Sweater by Tin Can Knits was the first sweater I ever knit. I first tried it out by knitting a child version for my niece, and then felt confident enough to make one for myself. Recently, this free pattern was updated to include more sizes, a cropped-body option, a new collar option, and a supplement for optional short-row shaping in the back.
The 2020 Holiday Savings Event for Sephora Beauty Insiders is starting soon! Sephora only has two real sales each year, so this is exciting news if you are looking for some skincare or beauty items for yourself or as gifts.
