I’ve been so excited to connect with more and more fiber artists on Instagram over the last couple of days! I thought it was about time for a proper introduction, hehe!

Nice to meet you all! 🥰

I got to test knit a pattern for one of my absolute favorite creators!!!! 🤩 this is the Cindy Hat by @aver.paula ! It’s so plush & comfy, and the pattern was so fun and easy to knit up! The whorled pattern of the decreases looks so cool, I’m obsessed!
Check it out when the pattern releases next month! 🥰

🍂 starting off the NE fall with the coziest knit EVER ! 🍂
I made my Selma jacket by @nupunupun with yarn that I got for free as a door prize from @bobbinandskeinvt during the I-91 shop hop this summer. Thank you Allyson and @rowan for your generous gifts for the hop! I feel like a sheep when I wear it I have never been cozier !! 🐑

anyways I’m obsessed with this jacket and so was my cat, it’s at least 10% cat hair fiber now I fear. 🐈

this month I had the honor of test knitting the holly stocking pattern by @asawki_knits ! 🎄 This came out soooooo cute and was the perfect stash-buster project. The cables are to die for, and the chart and construction were super easy to follow !! Check it out when the pattern releases on September 25th! 🥳

Third slide: I think moony loves it just as much as I do :) 🐈

Absolutely obsessed with my pressed flowers kerchief!! I knit this alongside my bff @devanknits so we can twin for the fiber festival of New England (@nefiberfestival ) this fall. This project is super versatile to style and definitely has me hooked on colorwork :) 🌈
