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….
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.
