    One Skein Wonder: Quick and Easy Crochet Cowl

    August 30, 2017 /

    Hey lovelies! I love lace and open work patterns, and I’m always looking for ways to experiment with them. Since I seem to have a thing for cowls, judging by how many cowl pattern ideas I am currently thinking about, it only made sense to create a lacy cowl pattern.…

So, I designed this gorgeous beanie but you can ha So, I designed this gorgeous beanie but you can hardly see the mosaic pattern with the variegated yarns I used. Going to knit it again with solid yarn and I’m so excited for you guys to see the design properly. One beanie pattern coming your way soon! Yarn: Hand dyed chunky yarn from @tinytealhandcrafted • It’s Friday tribe and Simon says comment below which State/County and Country you live in. You never know, you might get to IG meet someone who lives close to you. As always, I’ll start: I live in Hampshire, United Kingdom. Anyone else in my county? 🙋🏽‍♀️. I hope you have a lovely and restful weekend 🍸.
Did you know that I have a pattern for a unisex be Did you know that I have a pattern for a unisex beanie? It’s called the Caleb Slouchy Beanie. Swipe left to see a male model (a.k.a the hubstar 😊) wearing the same beanie. It’s a great pattern for a beginner knitter. #throwbackthursday. • How has your week been so far? Ready for the weekend? I know I am!
Me: No no no 😌😌, too many WIPs already, goin Me: No no no 😌😌, too many WIPs already, going to at least finish one project before adding another one. Also me: Come here my beauties! Going to wind you up, swatch you and start knitting with you 🤷🏽‍♀️. One can never have too many WIPs, right? 😉😉. Yarn: @berrocoyarn Berroco Mercado
So this happened.. If you’ve seen my last post f So this happened.. If you’ve seen my last post featuring this yarn, you may be able to guess what’s coming your way soon. Clue: set 😊. • Last week Friday, we played a Simon says game, which was so lovely! Thanks to everyone who played along. I was thinking about it the other day and decided, why don’t we make it a Friday thing, eh? What do you think? Let me know in the comments if we should make it a Friday thing after you’ve played this week’s game, yeh? • Simon says: drop in the comments something that made you laugh out loud this week. For me, I watched a video on Facebook that made me laugh so hard. It’s a video currently making the rounds and it’s of a grandma baking cookies with her grandson. The cute little lad tried eating every single ingredient that was added to the bowl, including butter and raw eggs!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Have a lovely weekend, my friends! God bless ya!

I couldn’t wait to knit with this yarn and it’ I couldn’t wait to knit with this yarn and it’s not disappointed at all!! I mean, where have you been all my life 😍😍😍. My daughter returned to school today after three months of homeschooling due to the lockdown and 6 weeks of summer holiday. I found myself getting emotional last night thinking about her returning to school. We had been home together for so long and I’m still working my way through the return to “normality” *sigh*...buuuut she had a phenomenal time at school and couldn’t stop chatting all the way home when I picked her up. For this and much more, I am grateful. Happy new week, my friends! Here’s 🍸 to us and to having a productive week. Yarn: King Cole Chunky Tweed
Happy Sunday my lovelies! So, I found out about @k Happy Sunday my lovelies! So, I found out about @knitbrooks’ #CreativeRootsChallenge today and figured why not take part, eh? So, here goes: Hallos 👋🏽, if you’re fairly new to my feed, my name is Kunbi and I’m the maker and designer behind Handmade by Kunbi. I love reflecting and looking back on my creative journey, it’s cray cray how far I have come! So without further ado: 1. Boy, have I come a long way with Handmade by Kunbi 💫. When I started, my intentions were never to design 🖊 🧶, that was never the plan. I mean, I designed many different items as a kid and I loved every moment of it but as a business, I just wanted to work on custom orders and that was that. Looking back now, I am so chuffed 😊 I am on the path that I am on. I suppose one could say it was inevitable 🌌. 2. My very first pattern design was done out of necessity/desperation, and I am so thankful things happened the way they did. I wouldn’t trade my experience so far with anything in the world! Thanks to social media, I have met (physically and online) so many phenomenal people in the maker community and I know there are many more fabulous people out there that I’ll meet in the very near future. I can’t wait to meet you 😊🙌🏽. 3. My dreams for Handmade by Kunbi are huge and they terrify me to the point where I sometimes stall in making certain decisions. This coming from someone who literally has a plan and goes 🏃🏽‍♀️ for it with gusto! Also, imposter syndrome can be bloody real sometimes! Thankfully, I am propelled by prayers, my passion, ambition, family and my tribe (you guys). Really and truly, you guys have no idea how amazing you are and how reading your comments/feedback/suggestions mean a lot to me. I enjoy chatting with many of you in my DM and you make this journey extra special for me. So, if I never say these two things enough, know them now: I really do appreciate you guys and thank you, thank you so so much! There you go for #CreativeRootsWeek1 and me getting mushy on you guys 🙈. Make sure to go click on the hashtag for this challenge. So many amazing creative reflections. Have a great week, my friends. God bless ya! 📸: @duttonphoto.
Hey hey hey you guys! Happy Friday! Let’s play a Hey hey hey you guys! Happy Friday! Let’s play a game, shall we? Simon says, drop down in the comments what you’re grateful for this week...aaaand go! I’ll go first: I’m grateful my daughter had a lovely last week of school holiday and although we’re nervous about her going back to school, I’m grateful she gets to go back.
