Little zip pouches help me organize my purse or travel bags. I thought it would be fun to make my own and use up some of my leftover yarn. I found the Honey Purse pattern by PetiteKnit that looked perfect! Continue reading for my experience knitting the Honey Purse.

Almost a year ago, I knit my Brioband + Fantastitch Combination Shawl using my left over scrap yarns. I loved how it turned out, but I wanted to knit it again with a more intentional palette. Keep reading for more details on my Pretty in Pink Brioband + Fantastitch combination shawl!

I knit my second Honeycomb Aran using this beautiful Shamrock color, and wanted to share my modifications. I used my same cheat sheets from my first sweater, and this time around was super easy. Read more for my Shamrock Honeycomb Aran Knitting Experience.
Honey Clutch | Knitting Experience
The Honey Clutch by PetiteKnit is such a fun knit. I love all things honeycomb brioche and constructing this cute little bag. I used a different (easier) technique to knit the honeycomb brioche in the round, and I sewed everything by hand. Keep reading for more on my experience knitting the Honey Clutch:
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.
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. Here’s my experience knitting the Briochevron Blanket by Stephen West:
Ever since I made my hand-knit socks, I’ve been getting more and more excited about knitting. I’ve made some cute outfits for my dog and recently, I made this super cute baby blanket for my niece. Here’s a link to the pattern and my experience making the Meadowland Baby Afghan:
It’s Favorites time!! This month went by pretty fast for me, but I still managed to have a bunch of favorites that I wanted to share with you.

Hello December!
Here is my Gift Guide Holiday 2015 with prices ranging from $6 to $96. These gifts are obviously things that I would love to receive, but also gifts that many people in your life would probably like to receive as well.
- Tea Infuser
- I’ve been loving loose leaf tea vs. tea bag tea. Better flavor and “more health benefits”… I love all the cute tea infusers too; this one is like a tea wand. ~$7.
- iPhone 6s case
- This phone case has a double barrier, plastic casing with water and glitter in between. Yes, glitter! It’s so pretty and sparkly. ~$13.
- Josie Maran – Argan Oil
- Obviously, Josie is on my list. Especially in the winter time, this argan oil is so hydrating and amazing with multiple uses — a little goes a long way. $96.
- Yarn
- Knitting is such a fun, and relaxing hobby. I love knitting (still working on that blanket!) and these colors are so bright and soft. ~$6.
- Starbucks Tumbler – Venti
- A good tumbler is a must-have for me. It really encourages me to drink water throughout the day and you can get new lids/straws to keep your tumbler fresh and exciting. ~$17.
- Creme De Rose – Dior Lip Balm
- This lip balm is so smooth but not sticky. Its hydrating and luxurious. I like to wear it at night as a “mask” and when I wake up, my lips are soft and revitalized. I love this during the winter time. $28.
- NEST Fragrances – Bamboo Reed Diffuser
- These NEST Fragrances are great for the home. I love how rich the oils are; the scent really permeates throughout the entire house. $42.
- FlowerBomb – Viktor & Rolf
- My favorite fragrance! I think this will be my signature scent forever; it’s very floral and delicious. Get a small size as a gift for your sister or bestie. $50.
- Anastasia Beverly Hills – Brow Wiz (Ebony)
- I love the Brow Wiz. It really helps me shape and define my eyebrows. I love the texture of the pencil and the spoolie at the other end lets me blend everything together for a natural, defined look. ~$23.
- Golden Wonder Bath Bomb – LUSH
- This lovely bath bomb makes your bath into a swirling, shimmering gold sea of warm unicorn magic. I love it. It’s perfect. Yes. $7.
- Essie – A List
- Super pretty red nail polish for the holidays. Nice stocking stuffer or a filler gift for your friends or yourself! $8.50.
- Doctor Who – Season 8
- I love Doctor Who. If you or your friend does too, give this DVD set or even just gift them on iTunes. *hums Doctor Who theme song* ~$55.
