Luckily I had some FibraNatura Inca in Coral in my stash and she liked the color. From Ravelry, I found a cute free pattern- Pop Top Hot by YaYa Lovestoknit. I underestimated my … Continue reading Pop Top Hat

Interwoven Hat
I'm taking a break from two sweaters I am working on, a knit raglan cardigan and a crochet shrug. I have long loved Two Of Wands patterns and decided to pick a pattern to challenge myself.

Baby Set
Another co-worker is expecting a grandchild! So, instead of the quilt I was planning on making, I decided to tackle a baby sweater.

I finished it super quick. … Continue reading Baby Set
