💕Celebrating 10 year wedding anniversary with the hubs ( @cook.jeremy )today. He never stops making me laugh, is my best friend, the best baby daddy, and I love him as much today as I did the day we met. 💕

☀️We’ve been on a super relaxing and special vacay with the fam this week. Just what we all needed. 😊 I got plenty of use out of my #gypsumskirt and my fave #knittersbackpack from @ritualdyes. It literally comes everywhere with me. I’m also finally on the back of my #deschainpullover. Woot woot 🙌🏻! Perfect car and vacay knitting. The linen has been lovely to knit with in this hot weather. *😁What are you guys knitting/sewing this week? Are you working on a fun travel project too?

Gypsum is the next of my #yarninmypockets 🙌🏻 makes. Huge swishy pockets that can fit tons of knitting for the win! 💕I love this skirt and have been wearing it non-stop since finishing. Swipe to see a pic. 😁*What lovelies are you making this week? Sewing or knitting or both? I 🧡 hearing about them.

Pattern is Gypsum by my lovely friend @sewliberated (I sewed size 18. I was between sizes and opted for more ease) and fabric is the softest Tencel twill from @blackbirdfabrics. Jewelry is @betsyfarmerdesigns and @shanticollective. Hoping to swap out this store bought tank for an Ogden as soon as I have time to hem the dang thing...lol!

💕What are your fave summer sweaters to wear? Any you reach for in the evenings?

Pattern: Carbeth Cardigan by @katedaviesdesigns Size 4 (I’m a 41” bust for reference) with no length mods (in fact I blocked my length about an inch to long IMO. I’ll be doing it as pattern next block).
