Life can get extremely busy and intense. Between work, family, responsibilities, and that ever-growing to-do list, it’s easy to feel like rest is something we have to earn, instead of something we’re allowed to choose. But today, on International Self-Care Day, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you too?) that we’re allowed to take a breath….
I have yet to meet a crafter who has never been in a crafting funk. It’s definitely frightening when the urge to do your favourite craft(s), which you likely do everyday, just disappears. Sometimes, it’s gradual. Other times, it’s pretty sudden. Whichever way it happens, there’s always an awful…
Hey friends! It’s been a while since I published a post. My absence is all down to having a rough third trimester of my pregnancy and also welcoming our baby in early June. I was able to do some knitting and crocheting though, and even packed one of my…
Here’s your sign to let loose and combine the best of both worlds—crafting something beautiful, dancing like no one’s watching, and making it all a masterpiece. Don’t mind if I do! 😊😊💃🏽💃🏽.

Can you help me with this poll? Thanking you in advance 🙏🏽.
So, I designed this beaut of a yoke sweater in 2020 but never released the pattern. One main reason is because it’s a bottom up yoke sweater and I’m very much aware that most knitters prefer top down yoke sweaters. My plan has been to rework the pattern, so it’s a top down but I would love to get your thoughts.
Would you knit this as a top down or bottom up yoke sweater?
I always think cosy when I think about this shawl! The Oyinkan Asymmetric Shawl is a full bodied shawl created with consistent stripes of garter stitches complimented with stunning lace panels. Stylish and perfect for keeping the brrr in check 😊😊. Swipe for cosy pics 🙌🏽🙌🏽.
Sample was knitted with Malabrigo Rios by @malabrigoyarn.
Comment “OYINKAN” and I’ll DM you the link to the pattern.

Sometimes, creativity looks a lot like starting over. So yes, frogging is optional, but so is keeping your sanity! Choose wisely, my friends 😊😊🙌🏽🙌🏽.

A new crochet project on my hook. Not 100% sure where we’ll end up, all I know is that it’ll be a 3/4 sleeve top.
For now, I’m just basking in being able to enjoy crafting again 🧶. Anhedonia may have had me in chokehold but I’m taking things one day at a time, one step at a time 🙌🏽🙌🏽. #perimenopause #perimenopausesymptoms.
