Saltwater Taffy Tee

Hi Loves, 

I discovered Temu, an online store sells yarn, while browsing TikTok one day. I was pleasantly surprised and decided to check out their app. After doing a search, I became very curious and decided to order a small amount of a cotton blend yarn. I waited for a little over a week for my package to arrive. Once it was delivered, I quickly opened it and was amazed by how soft and luxurious the yarn felt. I was excited to start making something, but I wasn't sure what to create. I started a few projects before finally settling on the Saltwater Taffy Tee designed by Rachel of Evelyn and Peter.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a hard time estimating the amount of yarn required for my projects. Unfortunately, this project was no exception - halfway through, I realized I needed more yarn and had to order it. As a result, I had to put the project on hold for about a week.

After waiting eagerly for my package to arrive, it finallyl's  did and I was able to dive back into my project. I spent countless hours working on it, perfecting every detail, and making sure that it was exactly how I wanted it to be. Finally, after two days of hard work, I was able to complete the project.

Butterfly Romper

 Hi Loves, 

This post is about a butterfly romper that I made. The idea came to me while I was creating the Shyler Crochet Butterfly dress. I thought it would be a great idea to turn the dress into a romper. However, I got sidetracked when my daughter asked me to use the same dress design and modify it to make her prom dress last year. 

To make the romper, I started the same way Shyler did with the top/dress and followed the steps until I reached the section where I needed to split it into leg holes. This is where I started improvising.  After a few tries, I think I got it right.

After spending countless hours on making a beautiful romper, it sat completed and unclaimed on my mannequin. I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that my creation had nowhere to go and no one to wear it. However, when my birthday came around, I decided to take a chance and wear it myself. And let me tell you, it was such a confidence boost to wear something that I had designed and created myself. The romper was both sexy and comfortable, and knowing that I had made it with my own two hands made it even more special. It just goes to show that taking risks and trying something new can lead to some amazing results.

Until next time, let's be friends!

Cotton Fair and The Memory.

Hi Loves, 

As someone who loves creating things, whether it's knitting, crocheting, or any other craft, I always have a project in progress. So when I received a new type of yarn, I couldn't wait to try it out. I carefully inspected the yarn and was immediately struck by how soft and luxurious it felt in my hands. It was clear that this was a high-quality yarn, and I wanted to use it to create something truly special.

As I sat down to start my project, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. I wanted to choose the perfect pattern that would showcase the yarn's unique texture and colour. I spent some time browsing through my collection of knitting patterns, trying to find the perfect match.  After much deliberation, I selected Caia, designed by Petra Breakstone, one of my favorite knitters.

This was after receiving a notification from Google reminding me of a project I did a few years back. It was a pleasant surprise to see that my day of crafting had been captured in memory, and it made me feel grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passion.
