I am so excited 😆 @katthe7th finished her test knit for my upcoming A Knit for Nott hooded cowl pattern - I am in love with how it came out! Well done, @katthe7th ! Can’t wait to see your purple one! 🧶This gets me so hyped for the launch of Crit Knits - @mandybeeknits and my collection of knitwear designs inspired by Critical Role Campaign 2 using @criticalsheep yarns. It’s going to be pretty cool, as Jester would say. Can’t wait!

About to cast on my second Smoke and Bone and Bridges sock on the plane to Japan! ✈️ Off we go! This is the first time I won’t be going to Kansai (Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto area) on a trip to Japan. I’m a bit bummed I won’t be able to see my old home base but excited to see some new places with @redsunsetxiii ! Japan, here I come!

So @tantem_strik is the fastest sock knitter ever and has already finished her pair of Smoke and Bone and Bridges socks in my test knit! 🤩 And look how gorgeous they are! Well done, @tantem_strik !! 🧶 Feel like testing these socks too? I’m still on the hunt for testers in the XS (6.5”/16.5 cm foot circ) and XL (10.5”/26.5 cm foot circ) sizes! Applications are still open at the link in my profile. 🧶

And newborn cardigan done and gifted! This one was a race to the finish line but oh I love how it came out. I can’t stop thinking about how tiny it is! I hope the parents-to-be love it too ❤️ Pattern: Newborn Vertebrae by @pekapekapatterns Yarn: @nerdgirlyarns Swagger in Stitch This Mate!

It’s test knit time at last! I just opened two very different but both story-fueled test knits on @yarnpond today. One is a sock design inspired by @lainit ‘s amazing Daughter of Smoke and Bone books and the other is a hooded cowl inspired by Nott the Brave from @critical_role. Want to check them out? Click the link in my profile for all the details or to apply! 🧶

This is the year of baby knits! So many friends and family members are welcoming new little ones this year 👶🏻 I’m using it as a way to try out new knitting techniques for future designs. This time, it’s raglan shaping! I’m working on a Newborn Vertebrae in @nerdgirlyarns Stitch This, Mate! colorway. I’m so excited to use this skein of yarn that has been waiting for the perfect project in my stash for years. What are your favorite baby knits?
