Hi, my name is Jasmyn, and I am a Canadian undergraduate student in my freshman year who loves to knit! I have been knitting since I was approximately seven years old, and recently have started to pursue an interest in creating and publishing patterns.
Although a large part of my blog is devoted to knitting, please don't be surprised by any other topic that manages to find its way in here! In addition to knitting, I also enjoy photography (though I'm not very good!), reading, camping, and rock climbing.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of knitting over the past few days, including finishing my handspun convertible mittens. Unfortunately I haven’t taken any photos yet, but I will soon, I promise! I have been slaving over the cardigan Abalone by Beata Jezek, knit out of deep blue Bernat Satin. It has worked out wonderfully, besides an issue I’m having with the applied i-cord bind off, which was too tight for the drape of the garment. I’m trying to figure it out now!
In addition, my friend Kylie (of likepurlsoffastring) has published another pattern! It’s called Bisous, it is a pattern for “a lightweight hat with “x”s around the body, which converge into a star at the top,” and it is available for $2.50 in her pattern store.
In celebration, she is hosting a giveaway, where she will give away 5 copies to the lucky winners! To enter, check out the original post here.
