  • Finished the back panel of my #CircumnutationTop a while ago but haven’t had a chance to work on the front. I’m hoping to blitz through it once I get the chance. The back panel didn’t take long at all...it’s a really quick knit. I just can’t wait to finish it, it’s such a lovely top 😍😍. Pattern is by the lovely Chenoa of @jellyknitting.⠀ •⠀ Anyone else glad it’s nearly Friday? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #makerlife #instagram #yarnlover #knitting #smallbusiness #calledtocreate #craft #createdtocreate #maker #knitstagram #handmade #knitters #knittersofinstagram #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #ourmakerlife

  • Was looking through my photos and found this beaut! Completely forgot about it - it’s a crochet baby blanket but the pattern could be easily worked into a larger blanket. I meant to write a pattern but wasn’t 💯% sure about writing it up. Would you be interested if there was a pattern for this? Lemme know! ⠀ •⠀ Pattern: Baby belle blanket.⠀ Yarn: Caron one pound.⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ #crochet #handmadebykunbi #babyblanket #blanket #babystuff #crochetpattern #newborn #crochetblanket #handmade #babyaccessories #babygram #babybelle #carononepound #yarnlove

  • Apart from the v-front and v-back, something else I love about this beaut are the sleeves! They’ve got cuffs alright but I love how the sleeves fold over the cuffs 😍😍. Pattern is being graded and will go off to tech editing soon, so look out for a tester call soon. It uses DK yarn, so the sweater is fab to wear on cooler nights and great for layering too.⠀ •⠀ On a separate note, how was your week? Mine has been quite busy at work but I took some time out, with the hubby today, for a spa day. Amazing day filled with lots of zen moments and sleep! We’ve returned home feeling replenished and recharged. Apart from crafting, what do you do to relax/recharge?⠀ ⠀ Have a great weekend, my friends! God bless ya!⠀ Pattern: Ìrètí V-front V-back Sweater.⠀ Yarn: Pankhurst DK yarn. Hand dyed by @pollyscraps.⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #knitting #knitstagram #handmade #knitters #maker #knittingpattern #handmadebykunbi #newpattern
  • Happy new week, friends! Still hanging on to warmer clothing here, since our weather is kinda all over the place! How’s the weather doing where you’re at? I posted a pictogram, in my stories, that pretty much depicts what the UK weather is like (go check it out) and it looks like there are many of us in the same boat!⠀ ⠀ “Give thanks to the God of heaven, for His steadfast love endures forever.” - Psalm 136:26.⠀ •⠀ Pattern: The Renaissance Cowl available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops (link in bio).⠀ Yarn: Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran.⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀ #crochet #crocheting #handmadebykunbi #pattern #crochetlove #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #ganchillo #häkeln #haken #crocheted #virka #yarnlove #uncinetto #crochetpattern #bobbles #paintboxyarns #ourmakerlife⠀
