Swish, swish.....😋.

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!

Bring on the summer evening beach strolls! So happy this sweater turned out exactly as I hoped it would! I’ve been wearing it non-stop! If you scroll back in my feed this was the outfit I made it for 😃🙌🏻. It was such a fun knit you guys!

💕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).

Lightness 🍃...focusing on my word of the year this summer. Letting go, making changes, trying to lighten my stress, my body and to be present in the moment.
.
✨My lovely pal @betsyfarmerdesigns made me this gorgeous necklace with my word, my birthstone and the “OM” symbol (scroll to see a closeup). I find myself touching it throughout my days and reminding myself to breathe and let go. I’ve had a lot of thoughts on the above topic recently. June kicked my ass a bit and forced me to make a few changes. I’ll be sharing a bit more about this next week on the blog. I hope you’ll come chat when I do. I find myself missing the conversations that once existed more commonly on blogs at one time. I love IG but dang can it do your head in at times💕.
.
✨I’m knitting away on my 2nd sample of my next sweater pattern in @yarnonthehouse Father in Oyester cause one was not enough for my wardrobe 🙊...hehe. *What’s on your needles for the weekend friends? Xoxox
