Knitting My First Sweater | Tin Can Knits Flax Pullover Experience

I have been knitting a lot lately, and getting more comfortable understanding what the different stitches look like and how to fix mistakes. I am really confident making socks and I’ve been successful in the couple of blankets that I’ve made, but I wanted to try something a little more “difficult”. I found a free pattern from Tin Can Knits and bought everything I needed to make the Flax Light Pullover for my niece. That sweater was so much fun to make; it wasn’t perfect, but it got me excited to try another one for myself.

DIY Pura Vida-Inspired Bracelets | How To Make Wax String Friendship Bracelets

I remember when I first found out about Pura Vida bracelets — I had seen Lauren Conrad mention them as good gifts on her blog. The bracelets are  so cute and colorful, but were kind of expensive to me at the time. I bought one of the Style Packs on eBay at a big discount and I really loved them. Since then I have bought a few more, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought about making my own!
