🧶 In all the insanity of moving, I’ve been making extremely slow progress on my @lainit ‘s Daughter of Smoke and Bone-inspired sock design. Despite how very little knitting time I’ve had lately, I am loving how it’s coming out! @selenamiskin ‘s Wayfarer yarn in the Prague Glazed colorway is just way too pretty. The tonality is amazing! And it is SO soft! 🤤 I am so happy that this pair is for me 🧦

Hi everyone! Long time, no post! If you can believe it, unpacking boxes and settling into our new home is taking up all of my time 😨 (lol, of course it is!) In the meantime though, Nina (ninabeana620 on Ravelry) finished her Hira Hira shawl just in time to win a prize in my Hira Hira Shawl KAL! Congrats, Nina! I love how it came out in the gorgeous @crabappleyarns Push yarn! The stripey purples and lilacs are really lovely 😊

After weeks of packing and moving, we are finally in our new house! I haven’t had time to knit in forever so I am REALLY looking forward to getting some stitching in soon! Any tips for first time house owners?

🌸Test Knitter Spotlight🌸 @lizziehutch3 was such an amazing tester for my HiraHira shawl. Just look at the wonderful work she did! She knit the shawl using 2 skeins of @madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Oeste. I love how big and cuddly it turned out and 😍 the speckles!! Thank you so much for your hard work and your really helpful commentary, Liz! I so appreciated having you in the test! 🌸Want to knit your own gorgeous shawl? Come join us in the HiraHira KAL! There are lots of prizes and fun to be had!

🌸Test Knitter Spotlight🌸 I was so lucky that @mamaaroundthehouse decided to test knit my HiraHira shawl for me! Just look at these gorgeous pictures taken by her friend 😍 Liz used @sockobsessionyarns Merino Sock Resilient in Another Bling Thing and I love the way it knit up. Thank you, Liz, for your hard work, lovely photos, helpful notes, and general awesomeness! I so appreciate it! 🌸If you’d like to try this pattern out for yourself, it’s still 10% off on Ravelry with code SAKURA10! Link in bio 😄

🌸My HiraHira shawl design has just been released on @hi.ravelry! Check out the link in my bio for all the details or to snag a copy of your own! 🌸The pattern is 10% off until midnight CST on Jun 15, 2019 with code SAKURA10 😘 🌸This design was inspired by my memories of springtime in Japan, a song by Ikimonogakari, and a gorgeous skein of @daizieknits yarn. All those wonderful things together created an asymmetrical, reversible garter stitch shawl with a border of dancing cherry blossom lace. The design is also adjustable to fit the weight and amount of yarn you have on hand! I really can’t wait to see what yarns knitters choose! 🤩 🌸I’m running a HiraHira KAL from now until Jul 31, 2019 for any and all who are interested. Come join! There will be lots of prizes! 🌸Yarn Used in Sample: @daizieknits Hybrid in Smell the Roses 😍
