Here's your first look at the #LolaHoodedVest! 👀
.
The best part of being a designer is doing whatever the hell you want. In this case, pockets + hood + ribbing for daaays. 💁🏻‍♀️
.
And the best part of this community is having people who can talk you off a cliff before you frog half the project in unfounded despair. Thank God for my lovelies at knit night who encouraged me to keep going when I was ready to give up on this whole idea! ❤️
.
Now to figure out how to grade this thing, and then call for testers! I'll be tuning in to @knitatude's Live later to hear her grill @thetecheditorhub because this design is making me ask allll the grading questions.
.
So, whaddya think? Would you make this?

It's taken me all week to decide on my favorite ma

It's taken me all week to decide on my favorite makes for @montana.crochet and @knitbrooks #CreativeRootsWeek6, so here we are.
.
I look fondly back projects that really utilized my engineering skills, because solving a puzzle feels so damn good, but there are other projects that I look back on and wonder:
.
How on earth did I do that?
.
1) This first one is a huge, twin size blanket that uses corner to corner crochet to map out all 12 years of the Chinese Zodiac, but cute. I think this took about half a year to design and make, and is my largest project to date.
.
2) My whale is my readers' favorite make, and I love it too. Figuring out how to shape a 3D animal that wasn't round and perfecting that characteristic humpback curve was an interesting challenge for sure!
.
3) This last one isn't so much of a favorite make, but as many of you have shared, it's an emotional one. I made this one when I found out that my dad's liver cancer had spread to his brain. I had to travel back to Taiwan and decided I needed to make something *anything* and not knowing exactly why. I worked furiously, finishing each flower square in 5 straight hours each night, and then making the plain c2c squares because I was ran out of time to make enough flower squares. I flew back to Taiwan, seamed it together at my parents' apartment, and draped it over my dad's hospital bed. It was his wheelchair blanket - he loved the vibrant colors and kept telling me I should do this as a living. 😭 After he passed, my mom returned it to me, telling me it was too precious to be buried with him and that I should keep it to remember him. 😭😭😭
.
The whole blanket took 2 weeks, and I still don't understand the black-out urge I had to create it. I've never worked faster or in more panic than this project. I still can't look at it without needing a therapist.🥺
.
And there you have it. Week 6. I swear, this #CreativeRootsChallenge is gonna mess me up. We need a "what is your favorite color?" week. 🥴

Are you #TeamFallShawls or #TeamSweaterWeather?

I just got photos back from my latest shoot with @laurenanzevino and I am OBSESSED. Golden hour in the fall is truly some special magic, holy crow guys. We shot some oldie goodies, as well as new secret stuff that I am itching to share. For now, here's a few fall favs if you're looking for a new project:

1) #StrataWrap using @lionbrandyarn Mandala Ombre (knit, free pattern)
2) #DualityShawl using @lionbrandyarn Wool Ease Thick and Quick (knit, on @hi.ravelry
3) #StarlightShrug using @lionbrandyarn Wool Ease Thick and Quick (tunisian crochet, free pattern)
4) #WonderlandCardigan using @lionbrandyarn Color Made Easy (crochet, free pattern)
.
All the patterns can be found on my website or on my Ravelry page.

🎉WAK X Me! Can you believe it? Please help me

🎉WAK X Me! Can you believe it?

Please help me welcome the #HalifaxPoncho, an oversized yarny hug that's part of @weareknitters Makers Around the World, a collection that brings together 8 designers and 8 amazing designs. I'm so honored to be a part of this group!

If yarn could be a hug, then the #HalifaxPoncho is it. Maybe it was the anxiety of the coronavirus, or homeschooling, or just any part of 2020🥴, but I was really aching for something to wrap (hide) myself in, and the #HalifaxPoncho was born. It uses @weareknitters The Wool, a gloriously soft and chunky yarn, and is worked top down, so you can try it on like that first cascade of hot water in a shower!🧖‍♀️ There's side slits for when you actually might want to use your arms, and of course pockets to keep those maker hands warm and toasty.

This design is exclusive to @weareknitters - find the kit over on their site with the shortened link below (thanks @northknits 💡), and check out some of the other great kits!
