Hello to you all! If you want to make a simple slouchy beanie with a unique design, then I’ve got you covered.

Duckling Granny Square

Hello guys! It’s been a while since I last made an animal themed granny square, and I truly miss making them. I’ve had such a good time coming up with all sorts of cute animal designs, such as the Puppy, Frog, Koala, Chick and all the other ones in my collection. Working on these granny squares is fun and relaxing, and a much-needed break to take while I’m working on other big projects like my knitted shawls. This time, I gathered my bright colored cotton yarn and came up with this adorable and ridiculously silly looking duckling. My little niece says it reminds her of a Pokémon, but I have no clue about that, so I’ll take her word for it. You can use this granny square in a number of awesome projects, like making an animal themed baby blanket, pillow covers, or simply framed and hung on a nursery’s wall. I hope you enjoy making this! Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for future animal granny squares!

Mosaic Tiles Skirt

Hi everyone! Mosaic pattern is one of my favorite patterns to knit, so you will see it included in many of my previous works. Since I’m into knitting skirts these days, I wanted to make one that features this pattern. My pick for the yarn this bulky gray and yellow yarn -which my daughter has picked for me a while back- and it was perfect to make the new skirt. The pattern is quite easy to knit once you know the simple mosaic rules; knit and slip stitches with each color every two rounds or knit and slip stitches one round then purl and slip stitches the other round. This skirt comes in four sizes, so check out the measurement details and pick the size that suits you. I also made a matching hat that goes perfectly with the skirt. I will be posting the instructions for it next week. I hope my new design is to your liking and can't wait to hear your feedback.

Flowers Bunch Shawl

Hello knitters! When I purchased a Scheepjes yarn cake almost two years ago -which eventually turned into my Wrap Me in Sunshine Shawl- I went through a battle trying to remain patient and see this project through. I am sure anyone in my shoes understands the agony of using fine yarn to make a big project, the long days of working with thin thread while repeating the same pattern again and again and berating yourself the whole time. So, when I had finished that shawl, I promised that I would not put myself through that again. But as you might expect, I happened to stumble upon this lovely YarnArt cake, fell for the temptation, and the same scenario happened again. So, after weeks of work passed, and so many rows unraveled to correct mistakes made late at night, I can proudly present to you my new shawl. The color change looks so beautiful, and the lacy pattern really shows it off. I feel like the final look is really worth all the effort it took to make it, as you can see. Enjoy knitting this shawl and let me know what you think of it.
