Knitember 2025 Knitting Problems and Self Doubt About Knitting
Hi everyone! I know it’s been weeks since I last posted, but I’ve been struggling with my current knitting projects. I thought I would be able to write posts this month about my knitting projects, (In honor of Knitember) but everything went wrong. As of this post, I’ve figured out what went wrong and why. Even though I know what happened, I’m pretty frustrated by what happened.

Navy Cardigan Progress- Mistakes, Fixes, and What Needs to Be Completed
Hi everyone! In my last post, I mentioned the white cardigan is not the only cardigan I am working on. A second one, made out of navy blue yarn, is also a work in progress, but is more finished than the first one. Despite problems with the sleeves, I am very happy with the progress on this cardigan. Between the white cardigan and this navy one, I think the navy cardigan will be finished first.

White Cardigan Progress- What Needs to be Finished & a Yarn Dye Lot Mistake
Hi everyone! As I write this, I’m starting to run out of things I knitted but never talked about online. Still, I have two more projects that I would like to talk about. The are both cardigans, but I never finished either of them. I used the same knitting pattern for both cardigans and the same yarn, but not the same color yarn. In this post, I’m going to talk about the white colored cardigan. I’ll talk about the second one, a navy blue color, in a future post.

Navy Sweater: Progress and Future Armhole Changes
Hi everyone! After taking some time to knit, I made progress making my navy sweater. Despite my issues with the instructions, I finished the neckline, shoulder, armholes, and began to work on the body of the sweater. I feel much better about how the sweater is turning out, so I wanted to show off my progress!

Navy Sweater: Neckline and Pattern Problems
Hi everyone! I wanted to knit myself a new sweater for quite a while, but I never felt comfortable to do it. This year, I finally decided that it was time to actually make myself one! Even though I started with the best of intentions, I ran into many issues with the knitting pattern I used. This caused me to do a lot of research and deep digging in my memory in order to remember how to knit a sweater without a pattern. I was able to figure out what I was doing, but it wasn’t easy. So far, I spent at least a month and half knitting this one…

My New Knitted Dish Cloths and What I Think About them
Hi everyone! I have another finished knitting project to show and talk about! Last year, I decided to knit myself dishcloths. I knitted dish clothes before, but it’s been a while since I did. I knew I would be under a lot of stress in the later half of last year and earlier this year, so I wanted an easy to knit project that comes together fast and allows me to knit while doing something else, such as watch TV. I call myself a stress knitter (I knit to relieve my stress) so I knew knitting dishcloths would be the best project to make when I’m under stress. After using…

More Throw Pillow Knitted Test Panel Progress
Hi everyone! In my previous post about the progress of knitting a throw pillow panel, I showed the beginning of knitting the panel. In this post, I wanted to talk about more progress I made in the pillow panel. I took photographs of the throw pillow panel when I knitted one fourth the way through the total length of the panel. By this point, the panel was long enough to see the knitted panel. Even though the panel looked good, I made mistakes in knitting it. I didn’t catch the mistakes until I had knitted many rows past the mistake. Since this panel is a sample panel, I decided to…

Throw Pillow Knitted Test Panel Progress
Hi everyone! It’s time for another knitting project progress post series! This time, I decided to make a throw pillow cover. I found a vintage knitting pattern on Etsy for a throw pillow cover. I really liked the way it looked, so I purchased it. The cover is created by knitting a front and back to create the cover. Even though the idea caught my eye, I wanted to sew a fabric backing to a knitted front panel. I wasn’t sure if it would work out right, but I wanted to give it a try. In order to see if it would work out the way I thought it would,…

My Finished Hot Water Bottle Cozy- Version 2
Hi everyone! After thinking about how I wanted the hot water bottle cozy to look, I decided to try making it again. This time, I wanted to make the cozy to look good as well as be the right size for the cozy. I still had yarn left from the first two attempts to make hot water bottle cozies, I didn’t need to buy more yarn. So, I began to make version 2.
