☝️ Sneak peek! I know, I know, we are still in

☝️ Sneak peek! I know, I know, we are still in the heat and fun of summer, but here’s a little look at a fall worthy pattern I’ll be sharing in the next week or two with the beautiful @lionbrandyarn @twoofwands Hue +Me. Who else loves fall projects the most? Me, me! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Sorry, not sorry 😆 #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitsweater #handmadeisbest #handmadewardrobe #knit #lionbrandyarn #mamainastitch #knittersofravelry #handmadeclothing #knitspo #knitting_inspiration #cozyvibes #knittersofig #knittingpattern

☝️ New!✨ The Summer Fun Cardi free pattern j

☝️ New!✨ The Summer Fun Cardi free pattern just hit the blog! If my Lil Sedona Shrug and Breckenridge Topper had a child, this would be it. Hehe! 😆 It’s got the basic shape going on like the topper, so it’s simple to make in that regard, while it’s got the big dramatic open stitching from the shrug. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️If you’re in the US, have a safe and wonderful Fourth of July 🇺🇸 !

☀️Helloooo Friday! 🌴 I’ve got some update

☀️Helloooo Friday! 🌴 I’ve got some updates for ya - warning - it’s VERY wordy! 😬

Like so many of you, I am just LOVING warm weather and some normalcy over here. And while I’m still knitting and crocheting much more than the average Jane, you might notice that I’m not posting to social as much. The horror! 😄

I’m using this summer to kind of evaluate where to put my efforts before my FAVE time of year (aka Fall). 🍁 As I take time to do this, you may see that I only post to Instagram when I have a new project to share, or something that you guys might like this time of year. The Instagram gods may not like this, of course. ⚡️

After 6 years of pounding away at the blog and designing each week, it’s time for a little reset and some consideration as to where my time is best spent. 📄 I’m thinking about what makes me excited and what makes you excited. This is the summer for that. Good right? ☀️

It’s also the summer where I’ve said, what is important in this short life of ours? 🤔

It’s also a time to do needed blog tech stuff. Boo.

🧶 AND, I do love a summer knit, but let’s be honest, fall and winter makes are my jam. Give me all the chunky yarn!

Finally, beyond all this, pulling off over a year of online school while keeping the blog going as usual had me near burn out. Yes, you can absolutely love what you do, be grateful as heck, but still feel the burn. Anyone else? 🤚🏻 ❤️

If you’re still with me, and with ALL that said, feel free to let me know if there are certain designs or tutorials you’d like to see more of! Can’t wait to share with renewed energy and ideas from you. ❤️
And yes, I still have new patterns coming this summer!Thank you for sticking with me!
XO,
Jessica

It’s back! ☀️💃 The Mohave Slouchy Tote Bag is one of my all time fave bag designs and the kit’s now available on @lionbrandyarn !

✨YAY!! NEW Pattern alert! ☝️ 🌴 It’s all

✨Sneak peek Thursday! ☝️ And more eyelets

✨Sneak peek Thursday! ☝️ And more eyelets coming at ya!

Who is more ready for summer than EVER? 🙋🏼‍♀️ (After this past year, give us some sun, our knits, and a cool 🍹 drink already, right?)

This summer knit sweater uses a light, bamboo yarn and is sooooo silky and airy. It was inspired by my crocheted Verano Longline Cardigan that some of you might remember. There were several requests for a knit version, so I’m hoping this fits the bill. ❤️

The free pattern should be up by next week, and it will also be available as a kit on @lionbrandyarn. ❤️

I’ll let you know as soon as it goes live!

🥂 Cheers!
XO,
Jessica

✨NEW ☝️ #sponsored WHEW! The Endless Eyelets

✨NEW ☝️ #sponsored WHEW! The Endless Eyelets Cardi crochet (free) pattern just dropped on the blog!

Who’s a Mandala fan? 🙋🏼‍♀️ While using color often scares me, it was SO satisfying to use this light, glorious yarn in the colorway “Centaur”. A couple of you have mentioned that you like the color Warlock as well. Soooo many options!

If you know basic crochet stitches, you can totally make this cardigan. It’s made from rectangles with ZERO shaping and is just a two row repeat. Perfect for mindless, poolside crochet 🌴.

I love how it has the granny square coat vibes, but there’s none of the seaming and sewing of a zillion granny squares. 🙌 AND no color changes thanks to the magical yarn. 😆

I’m thinking this would be super cute with cut off jean shorts! What would you wear with it?

Hope you enjoy it my friends! As usual, you can see the free pattern through the link in my bio, or grab the kit from @lionbrandyarn. 💃 🤗

XO,

Jessica

☝️ A little peek at the biggest project I’ve

☝️ A little peek at the biggest project I’ve been working on lately. ✨ And look - there’s COLOR! Do you tend to use more color in the summer months? 🌴

For me, it seems that I pull out the colors this time of year. 🤷‍♀️ Anyhoo, lots of airy eyelets, color, and drape with this project. And lots of easy. 🌴

It’s been a long time since I’ve used Mandala, but it seemed perfect since it’s light weight for summer (and who wants to mess with color changes if we don’t have to hehe!)

Can’t wait to share the full pattern and details next week!🤞

Oh! I’ll also share a little video in my stories of a wee challenge I faced with this cardi. 😆 🐶

Hope you have a good weekend my friends. ❤️

XO,
Jess
