Knitting Challenge Day 4
How did I learn to knit?
Well, the first time I ever picked up knitting needles was when I was around seven years old. My mom, my aunt, my brother and I were traveling to my grandparents’ house, and on the way we stopped at a big garage sale, as we often did, to see if there was anything cool we could bring with us. My pick for the day was an old knitting starter kit, with a...

Knitting Challenge Day 3
Ok, so apparently I’m not so great at remembering to do this everyday. So, I will try my best, but no promises!
Today’s question is, do I have any other works in progress?

I will post photos of the test...

I am a part of the International Baccalaureate Programme (for those of you who don’t know what this is, basically a higher lever learning program with an insane workload), and I recently had my exams. To give an example of how hectic my life has been, last week I had 9 exams and then on the weekend had a first aid course all weekend!

So Much Exciting News!
There have been so many exciting things going on over the past few days, both knitting and non-knitting related!
1. I finished knitting and writing up a new pattern called “Wicked Witch Tea Cozy.” I won’t post photos until I release the pattern, once it’s finished being tested, but if you want to get in on the test knitting action, message me and I can send you a photo!...
