Favo Sweater | Knitting Experience
While I was knitting my Briochevron Blanket, I started looking for my next fun project. I am still newer to knitting, but I feel like I’ve knit a good variety of items that I am confident researching new techniques and executing a pattern. I wanted a challenging project and I found a really pretty cabled sweater, but I thought it would be too advanced for me.

I knit this cute little cardigan for my niece as a quick project after completing my Briochevron Blanket. I wish I had planned it out a little better, but I’m still happy with how it turned out. Check out my knitting experience:
This Briochevron Blanket looked so squishy and fun when I first found the pattern. I knew it would be repetitive and challenging, but I set out to practice my brioche at the beginning of the year and this blanket certainly gave me that! Now that it’s complete, I am so proud of it.

Tundra Jumper | Knitting Experience
I have already knit this Tundra Sweater before (once for my husband and a cute mini version for my dog). I was super excited because this was my first real attempt at knitting color work. I loved how it turned out for my family, so I was excited to knit one for myself! Keep reading for my experience knitting the Tundra Jumper by The Petite Knitter:
This year, I really wanted to challenge myself with my knitting and learn some new techniques. I planned for a few projects that looked challenging, but also really fun to knit and wear/use. I think the project that I was most excited about was this Marled Magic Sweater by Stephen West. This sweater was so much fun to make and I am so happy with how it turned out; here’s my knitting experience:
With so many fun knitting projects and so many beautiful yarns out there, it can be hard to decide what to cast on next. Now that I’m more comfortable with knitting, I’ve been looking for some more challenging patterns that will be fun to knit, and help me learn more techniques. If you’re looking for some knitting inspiration, here’s a look at the projects that I plan on knitting this year:
I have been constantly knitting since my first Flax Sweater, and I’ve been enjoying each new project. I recently completed this Le Pouf Sweater and wanted to share my experience.
For a while now, I had been considering buying an interchangeable knitting needle set. I finally made the decision to purchase, and I am so happy I did. Here’s my review of the ChiaoGoo Interchangeable Needle Set:
I have been knitting a lot lately, and getting more comfortable understanding what the different stitches look like and how to fix mistakes. I am really confident making socks and I’ve been successful in the couple of blankets that I’ve made, but I wanted to try something a little more “difficult”. I found a free pattern from Tin Can Knits and bought everything I needed to make the Flax Light Pullover for my niece. That sweater was so much fun to make; it wasn’t perfect, but it got me excited to try another one for myself.
