Just as long as they stay out of our veggie garden 🤞
Allergies have been brutal over here with the fir trees raining down their pollen magic everywhere✨✨Fortunately we have a torrential downpour going on and suddenly I'm feeling good enough to complete this caterpillar 🌷

🧶🧶Happy De-stashing 🧶🧶
Recently I made a few childrens tops in an attempt to destash my yarn supply. My little love requested Beauty and the Beast colours with pink, yellow, and brown for the Beast. Safe to say we're all very happy with how these turned out 💐 No pattern, lotsa heart.

I spent the evening duplicate-stitching the cutest little bumblebee onto a knitted hat, and I’m so in love with how it turned out. 🐝✨
There’s something so satisfying about taking a simple, cozy hat and giving it a whole new personality with just a needle and some extra yarn. Duplicate stitch is basically embroidery for knitters ... perfect for adding little pops of detail without having to change colours as you knit. And this tiny bee? Totally worth the extra time.
The best part is how it brings a bit of springtime joy into a winter project. Now the hat feels cheerful, handmade, and a little bit magical ... like it’s carrying its own buzz of happiness.
Might have to stitch a whole swarm next. 💛🖤🧶

Happy Halloween 👻🎃
Wishing everyone a happy day of warm and cozy vibes. ✨ I'm enjoying the spooky vibes at and looking forward to trick or treating tonight in the West Coast rain ☔

✨ New knitting obsession unlocked! 🧶💫

I just started experimenting with a double-stranded knitting technique — and wow, it’s cozy magic! Two yarns at once = extra squish, dreamy texture, and the prettiest marled look. 😍

Can’t wait to see how it turns out (and maybe unravel it a few times first… because that’s part of the fun, right? 😅).
