Hey friends! How about a simple knit instead of wa

Hey friends! How about a simple knit instead of watching the news? 😉 🙌The new Breckenridge Topper Cardigan Free Pattern just hit the blog! ☀️ 🌾 It’s cute to wear with a graphic tee or tank, and it’s completely beginner friendly! 🧶 This topper was inspired by the Telluride Knit Kimono on the blog, which has been one of the most popular winter patterns. 💫 If you know someone who’s learning to knit as they stay in, maybe they’ll like it as an alternative to the everyday beginner scarf. 🧶 ✌️ Goodness knows many of us need some knitting, crafting and other brain activities during this stressful time (me included). ❤️It uses worsted weight yarn, and not a ton of it, so it’s a great stash buster. The kit is also available in several colors on the @lionbrandyarn site (use the code KITS25 for 25% off)! 💫Stay safe, healthy and well my friends! ❤️❤️You’re always in my thoughts! 😘XO Jess #handmadewardrobe #handmadeisbest #psimadethis #knittingaddict #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #handmadeclothing #knits #knitspiration

Dear friends, Warning!! ⚠️I'm getting wordy he

Dear friends, Warning!! ⚠️I'm getting wordy here! ☝️ In light of what's happening with COVID-19 around the world, I wanted to take a moment to let you know some of my thoughts. ☕️ I’d like to chat about some ways I'm staying sane while staying in, what to expect on the blog, and personal thoughts. ▪️I've always tried to keep my blog light hearted, happy and full of projects that I enjoy making and hope you will enjoy too. 🧶 I'm going to continue sharing my patterns, and keep everything going as usual on the blog. This isn't because I'm discounting this crisis; I just think as much normalcy in this case is a good thing. My blog doesn't spread germs, and you don't have to wash your hands when you read a pattern. 😉What I won't do; I won't turn this into a marketing opportunity.😷 ▪️This blog is my livelihood. I have many blogging friends where it is also their livelihood. I am so grateful that I can continue to do this work, and thank you so much for your support through these times - for me and any other small business or blogger. If you are out of work, or missing paychecks, my heart goes out to you. ❤️ To our medical community - thank you, thank you, thank you. ▪️I have been trying to think if there is anything that I can post or do to help my readers. Beyond sharing projects and new patterns, is there something you're looking for? (Besides toilet paper? 🧻Hehe!) If so, let me know. I am praying for all of you, and thinking of you at this time. ✌️ XO, Jessica 🍵 Ways I'm Staying Sane While Staying In 🧶 1) Knitting & Crocheting - what an amazing hobby we have. 2) Stopped Checking The News Constantly - I was obsessing with every breaking report; all it did was give me anxiety. I want to stay educated, but don't want to turn crazy. Lol! 3) Taking Time to Pray & Meditate 4) Get Outside - It's cold, but sometimes I just go stand on my deck. Feel the breeze and see the sun. 5) Plan A Fun Activity - For example, I promised my daughter that tonight we will watch Frozen II on Disney + for a movie night. 6) Exercise - Let’s be honest; I haven't been good at this one. Hoping to be better! ❤️What are you doing these days? #crochetersofinstagram

🙌 SNEAK PEEKER! ☝️This is my new Velvet Bom

🙌 SNEAK PEEKER! ☝️This is my new Velvet Bomber Cardi Pattern that I’ll be sharing soon. 🎉 Do you have any velvet in your closet? 🤔 Give me all the velvet as it’s one of my favorite fibers to wear (and this is the third time I’ve worked with this yarn). 🧶 A lot of you have asked about worming (little loops that crop up), but it hasn’t happened with this sweater. 🌾 I’ll fill ya in with more deets when the free pattern goes live! But seriously. Comfiest thing ever. 😆Have a beautiful day my friends. ❤️XO Jessica yarn -> @lionbrandyarn Vel-Luxe #crochet #crochetfashion #handmadeisbest #crochetlove #cardigans #crochetaddict #crochetaddicted #makersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe #knitspiration #knitting_inspiration #velvet

VELVET ☝️🙌. This NEW cardigan is my latest

VELVET ☝️🙌. This NEW cardigan is my latest fave because it’s, well, velvet. ❤️I’ll be sharing the pattern in the coming week, so stick around!! 🧶 Also, I wanted to let you know my baby’s finally coming around from the flu. She’s missed two weeks of school and I’ve lost two years off my life from worry 😆, but we’ve survived. 💕Thanks for all your sweet well wishes!! I’ll let you know when this fun lil’ cardigan pattern goes up! 😘XO Jess #crochetfashion #handmade #cardigans #crochetpattern #crochetlove #handmadeisbest #slowfashionmovement #yarnlove #knitspiration #knitting #crochet #crocheting #knitting_inspire #makersofinstagram #handmadewardrobe

HAPPY Friday, friends! 💫 Diagonal Basket Weave

NEW Pattern! 🌾This Trails End Seamless Poncho w

NEW Pattern! 🌾This Trails End Seamless Poncho was so relaxing to make, and it’s super comfy to wear. 🙌After a blanket-making frenzy of sorts, it was really cool to be able to make something a little boho, a little different, a little not cardigan or blanket - ha! 🤣 There’s a simple, open stitch detail on the front, but the rest is fairly mindless and perfect for beginners. 💕 I’ve included pictures in the blog post to show you how to get started along with the free pattern. 🏔 You can make it as long or as short as you’d like, and do with or without the fringe. 🧶The kit’s also currently on sale 🎉 from @lionbrandyarn in some pretty color options, so check that out if you are wanting to make one! ☕️ Hope you enjoy it, and happy Friday my friends!

A little sneak peek ☝️ of a fringy new project

A little sneak peek ☝️ of a fringy new project! 🌾I’ve been on quite the blanket & cardigan kick, so it’s been refreshing to do something different. I actually debated on whether or not to add fringe, but ultimately went with it (obviously lol). 🧶Do you like fringe or would you do without? Luckily it’s optional here, so no hurt feelings! 😆🙌 Yarn @lionbrandyarn Basic Stitch #crochet #crochetingaddict #crochetingisfun #instacrocheting #knittersgonnaknit #yarnaddict #yarnaddiction #psimadethis #handmadeisbest #slowfashionmovement #crochetlove

Whew! ☕️ Who wants to curl up in some crochete

Whew! ☕️ Who wants to curl up in some crocheted goodness and chill for a bit with me? 🙋🏼‍♀️Let’s do it. 🙌 My blog now has a new design (YAY!) but with that came less time for crochet. 🧶 And a lot of looking at a computer and attempting to think techy - which I don’t do too well. 🤣 However, it feels great to be back at the yarny stuff today. 🧶 I’m currently editing this throw blanket pattern (pictured), sipping my second cup of coffee, and dreaming up a new project (even though I’ve already got multiples going on 😆). I hope you can find some time for your projects today too! Oh - and I hope you find the new blog layout to be easier to navigate!

You had great guesses on what this stitch could be

You had great guesses on what this stitch could be! 🙌 It’s the Irish Moss Stitch which goes like this: Cast on a multiple of 2, then k1,p1 across for TWO rows, next p1, k1 across for TWO MORE rows. You just do this four row repeat for as long as you like! 🌲The full, “Aspen Mountain Throw” pattern is free on the blog. It’s super easy to knit if you know how to knit and purl. It’s also pretty timeless which I love! Hope you enjoy it. 💕AND, have a great weekend! Sure wish I was in NYC for VKL with several of you rather than taking care of my baby with a stomache virus. 😭XO Jessica #knitting_inspire #knitting #knitspiration #knittingaddict #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofig #knitting_inspiration #knittingpattern #lionbrandyarn #cozyhome
