🧶 WIPs: Works in Progress
✔️ Biskrem Sweater Mini – The body is finished! Now it’s time for the sleeves and collar. Bonus: I learned the Italian Bind-Off and absolutely love how clean it looks.
✔️ Americana Rose Dishcloth – We’re halfway there! This one is part of the Comfort Crafting Club on Patreon.
✔️ Scarf of Never Ending – Yes, it still exists. Yes, I finally picked it back up! Every knitter has that WIP, right? The one that just lingers for years? Well, this is mine. 😆 But I’m determined to finish it (eventually).
✔️ Night and Day Socks (Sock Madness) – I’ve made it through the heel of the first sock! Excited to keep going on these.
🎨 Yarn Life: The Stories Behind My First Knitting Projects
One of the best things about knitting is how every project holds a story. This week, I’m sharing memories from two of my very first knitting projects and the yarn leftovers I still have from them. It’s amazing how fiber arts connect us to our past!
