Yarning For Knits

Took my newest work in progress out for breakfast today to one of my favorite places

My newest knit in all its colorful glory. It is fun and full of joy, everything a child's sweater should be. I made this one a bit larger, so it will probably be a year or so from today when I get to see my little one wear it, but I think it will be worth the wait.

From the flaps to the little dinglebob on top, this little knit hat has stolen my heart. Such a fun piece to add to my growing handmade collection for my baby.

My colorblock knit sweater is shaping up quickly. I love how fun the little pops of color are and cannot to add the green sleeve next.

Big (little) news... I'm pregnant! ♡

This is my first knit set for my little one to be. I've made so many baby knits for others and now I get to make them for myself. Aren't they going to look so cute in this textured jumper and little aviator hat?!

My first time doing stripes! I usually stick to solid color knits because colorwork intimidates me, but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone. This little baby sweater will be very 90s with colorblock sleeves and collar.

Poolside knitting on vacation in Palm Springs? Yes please!

I'm officially obsessed with texture based patterns right now and this little sweater has some to spare! Plus, I love the stitch definition this Malabrigo yarn is giving. A match made in heaven!

I knitted this bikini top from scratch a few years ago and I love how it turned out. My only regrets are the yarn choice and needle size. It absorbs a bit too much water and I'd like the stitches to form a denser fabric. I'd love to make another one with these things in mind. Anyone have any swimwear yarn recommendations?
