photo by Instagram user @vehicularsugar Many people are knitting blankets right now! Crocheting too, but I will leave that for next time. I thought it might be a good time to highlight some of my favourite knit blanket patterns. If you didn't know, I used to own a yarn shop, and so I have LOTS of experience helping knitters choose a pattern and the right yarn to go with it :) The Chevron Colour Block Blanket designed by Espace Tricot is a free pattern that can easily be sized up or down. It is written for aran / worsted weight yarn using a 7mm needle and just less than 2000 yards of yarn. It is shown in the first...

Well, by some standards I was not as successful this year in my make nine attempt. I did not hold myself to my list, instead just making what I felt like - and I did make a lot. I sewed a lot of clothes for myself and will continue to do so this year! So here is what was completed and was not, and then just to prove to myself that I'm not lazy I had to make another graphic to showcase 9 additional makes that were completed in 2018! 1. Burnside Bibs 2. Libby Shirt 3. Hinterland Dress 4. Isca Shirt Dress 5. Tecumseh Sweater 6. Persephone Pants 7. Halla Hat 8. Kielo Wrap Dress 9. Tea House...
List starts from top left. These are my making goals for 2018 - I finished everything I from 2017's makenine - so I feel confident!
