Some gorgeous new things available at the little gem, @originals_yarnshop ✨️

Recently they had an amazing little sale and I had to grab a few @african_expressions_yarns boucle yarn balls for an upcoming project I have in mind.

How roughly I treat my knits sometimes!

Sometimes they have to be rough handled to become fluffy, with a sturdy brushing! It also helps to combine the fibers nicely and make them feel lovely to the touch ✨️

Any brush with fluffy bristles will do in the situation. I often use a synthetic one with stiff bristles.

A bit of a goodbye for this little baby shower gift for my sister ✨️

Delighted at the outcome, and hopefully she will appreciate it as much as I loved making it.

Absolutely amazing knitting event hosted at @cowgirrlblues in Cape Town ✨️

It was my first time attending, and what a blast it was! The coffee was flowing, cookies were stacked on, and alot of knitting was done. I saw a few familiar faces, and met many many new people that I will hopefully see again next month!

To many, many more 🧡

Also, how could you NOT walk away with a skeins or two! Their yarns are so delicious!

Knitting and pastries 🍰 - always a match made in heaven. Grabbed a bite at @honestcoffeeroasters for a bite and a good bit of knitting.

I'm currently working on a project for my sister, a little baby shower gift. She requested a hand-knit jersey that I hope she appreciates ✨️
