One of my favorite collabs from a few summers ago with @lifeslittlethingsco 💗☀️

My Peak of Summer Beanie is a unique twist on a classic beanie pattern that’s perfect for market prep. It’s written for multiple weights of bulky - super bulky yarns.

I’m running a secret July sale over on Etsy for anyone interested in some summer knitting projects 💗👍🏻

Pattern: Peak of Summer Beanie (by me)
Yarn: from @lifeslittlethingsco

Drop stitches + mosaic knitting + mohair 💗 What

Drop stitches + mosaic knitting + mohair 💗 What’s your favorite part of this shawl?

This week I’m highlighting summer shawl patterns. This is my Bayside Breeze shawl that’s so airy and light and fun to knit and wear!

It keeps your attention by switching between relaxing garter stitch and airy mohair drop stitches and then pulls it all together with a mosaic border design.

This shawl was another fun collaboration with @vida_lifestyle 💗

For my birthday I treated myself to an encaustic art class with the talented @katiejstephenson.encaustics 💗 It was such a beautiful morning and I had so much fun!

What a process! I had no idea what it takes to produce this form of art. I of course took forever to decide what to make. In the end I went with inspiration from my view of the sunset on the lake from my back windows.

Have you ever tried this form of art before? I would totally do it again!

Still one of my most popular designs my Nordic Sun
