Spring is around the corner and I’m all about baby projects these days. Check out this Spring sweater I made for Isla! Tomorrow is her 1st birthday and I cannot wait to get it to her! This beauty to this project is that it is a simple DC repeat but the colour work bring it’s to life. I used a baby friendly cotton yarn, Bernat Softee Baby Cotton. It is soft and squishy and makes for the perfect Spring weight. Check it out and wish Isla a first Happy Birthday! Enjoy!

UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.

Please visit my Etsy shop HERE to view and purchase my collection.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.
