In this video, I’m sharing a mix of knitting and crochet projects, from finished objects to works in progress! I finally completed my knit garter ridge blanket, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I also finished my scrappy granny stripe shawl, and I’m absolutely in love with it—it’s colorful, cozy, and the perfect use for leftover yarn. On the knitting side, I made another Christopher hat in a stunning blue shade, held double with mohair for an extra warm and squishy texture.
I also chat about my cozy memories blanket and the scrappy yarns I’ll be incorporating into it. There’s something so special about adding little bits of past projects into one big, nostalgic piece. On top of that, I’ve picked up some new sweater yarn! I’ll be using Purl Soho Good Wool to knit another Sonder sweater by The Petite Knitter, and I’m debating between making a Step-by-Step Cardigan or a Meissa pullover with my Rowan Mode alpaca yarn.
So grab a cozy drink, get comfy with your latest project, and let’s talk all things yarn! Whether you’re here for project inspiration, a relaxing chat, or just to soak in some cozy knitting and crochet vibes, I hope you enjoy this episode.
