Handmade
I love creating and always have multiple projects on the go. Lately, I’ve been diving into knitting and sewing. Here are some patterns I adore!
Sewing
-
The Thelma by Merchant & Mills
I made two of these and I can’t get enough. They are my uniform. The pattern was a bit technical for me but I was able to figure it out with some help.
I made it in the UK size 6 which is the smallest size and I had to add a few cm in length to make it work. I hear that the bigger sizes get quite wide in the hips. I am. not good enough yet to make adjust the pattern for my man, he desperately wants one!

Bisque Trousers by Vivian Shao Chen
These are next on my list of things to make in time for summer. I love what @stitching.poetry did with the pattern adding the paperbag waist. They are perfect.
-
Agnes PJs by Paper Theory Patterns
I am in the throws of this project. First making the original and then will follow @stitching.poetry’s steps and make the PJ top into a jacket sans the collar. I can’t wait. Check out @stitching.poetry on IG please, she is rad.

Ponoma Pants by Anna Allen
I have been on an endless search for the perfect winter PJs. (When I say winter, I mean real winter, not southern climes winter, it gets chilly here!) I am going to make these bottoms in a soft cozy cotton. Stay tuned.

The Harlene by Merchant & Mills
It’s in the queue. I chose a dark denim for this one. It will be my go to garden attire. I actually have a garden now - despite not knowing what I am doing - so I will look the part. Although, lets be real, all of my gardening friends don’t wear gardening outfits, so I will likely look out of place. Whatever. Can’t wait. Summer is here!

Sailor Soft by Anne Ventzel
I cannot wait to wear this sweater. It is an amazing beginners project and feels so delicious.
-
Cardi Cocoon by Anne Ventzel
I’m making this in a deep forest green, and while it feels like it’s going to take forever, I’m thoroughly enjoying the challenge!
-
Jeol sweater by Aegyoknit
What can I say, I am obsessed. I am in the process of knitting it and so far I love.
-
Spot Sweater by Anne Ventzel
Anne Ventzel is a very talented designer. I absolutely love her designs, and they are very technical. This sweater was a feat, but so worth the time and effort.
-
Slanting Slipover by Anne Ventzel
This was the first design I made of Anne Ventzels and it was not easy. I like to multi task while I knit but this required full attention. Such a beauty though, definitely worth the challenge.
-
Cumulus Top by Petite Knit
I love this top. Perfect for summer. I have had a hard time finding the right yarn in brighter colors so I have settled on black until I find more. I have a feeling I will be living in this this summer.
-
Harper Jacket by Caidree
I made this for myself and had to take it out because it was a bit too tight in the shoulders! Luckily it is a very quick knit. You can finish in a day. I also made one each in the children’s size for my goddaughters. So adorable.
-
Olden Top by Witre Design
This is a very quick top to make. The yarn is thick and quick. The pattern isn’t super clear throughout but simple enough to figure it out.
-
Compliment Sweater by Strikke Kaffe
I love the camel on black stripe in the Mohair / Wool combo. I am going to try to fit this one in at some point. Will have to start a project calendar!
-
Wednesday Sweater by Petite Knit
This is the coziest sweater in my closet. Borderline too hot to wear indoors, but perfect for deep winter. I made it in deep forest green. I made it the M but in hindsight I would prefer it in the L for an even more oversized look.
-
Noah Vest by Skall Studio
Love this and love Skall Studios. Their commitment to conscious consumption is on point.
-
September Sweater by Petite Knit w/ Lia Lykke Alteration
I envision this on in a dark oily blue green. At this point this is likely 2 years out. But still obsessed.
I love the changes Lia Lykke made to this pattern. Her version is on Ravelry.
-
Ingeborg by Petite Knit
A quick fix for cold ears.
-
A Simple Hood by Lia Lykke
This is a great hood to wear with any hoodless coat. It was fun to make, the start is a bit tricky but I just DM’d the designer on IG and she sent me some videos.
-
Hanstholm Sweater by Petite Knit
I made this sweater for my man a few years ago and he hasn’t taken it off since. I made it in charcoal.
