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.
What is your least favourite piece that you’ve knit?
My least favourite piece that I’ve knit would have to be the first sweater I made. I spent so long on it, and it didn’t turn out at all like I wanted it to… It was too short, and the sleeves looked like they were made 3 sizes wider than they should have been… all in all it was a bit of a disappointment. However, the process of knitting it, watching Pride and Prejudice and 10 Things I Hate About You on repeat is something that was still worth the while.
As usual, when I went to the yarn store, I spent way too much money on wool! This time I bought 3 skeins of Cascade Eco+, which I’m going to use to make a sweater, which will be my summer project. I can’t wait to get started!
So I realize I haven’t written in a very long time, but life has been fairly hectic recently and I haven’t had a chance.
Firstly, I graduated highschool! Also, I got my IB Diploma! That’s one part of my life that I am finished, and it’s a bit of a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, it’s good to be growing up and moving on with my life, but on the other, I will miss the people that I won’t be seeing everyday anymore. Either way, I’m excited for what’s to come next!
This summer has been full of fun so far, I’ve moved into my own place (hence why I haven’t been posting, I have no internet), and I’ve been making up for my lack of a social life over the past couple of years. It’s been a good few weeks! I’ve also been working at the climbing gym summer camp, which is both fun (in its own way), and is making me some money!
In knitting news, I have slowed down on the pattern developing, as I have decided that my summer project is a sweater made from that Cascade Eco+, and it is taking a long time. It is coming along well so far though, I’m finished the back, and midway done the front! I’ll update more as I progress, and hopefully just more in general!
I finally finished the sweater I’ve been working on, out of the Cascade Eco+! This is an exciting day!
