At least once per year I chance upon some ultra squishy treasure trove of bulky or super bulky weight yarn on clearance - usually in the summer. The super soft and extra thicc strands entice me as I run my fingers through the inviting tangle of coziness and I inevitably end up buying a huge... Continue Reading →
Even though the original idea was a very straightforward and simple openwork shawl, I pulled in a lot of unconventional design elements to create my newest full length premium pattern!
