You need a mindset change, not more gatekeepers.

What is the point of these posts even? Earlier this year, when I ran a knit-along, my intention was to be a curator of sorts, to find and promote POC…

I always feel so fancy when I layer lace on lace! I always feel so fancy when I layer lace on lace! Lace knitting goes back for many years, and I often love knitting lace that looks like it could be from another era. 

Do you pile different lace patterns on or are you one at a time?

Patterns shown are #MeditativeShawl and #OolongTank, both available on Ravelry and Payhip.

I've added @PurlSoho's #LinenQuill to the recommen I've added @PurlSoho's #LinenQuill to the recommended yarn for the #OolongTank! ⁠
⁠
I actually supported a few testers with this yarn but I couldn't resist knitting up my very own as well!⁠
⁠
The linen and wool content in this yarn gives a little more structure and the lace has a bit of a crisper, less drapey look. I really like it and it definitely is a subtle change from the gorgeous Alpaca Silk base that the green sample was knit with. ⁠
⁠
This one is a little less "soft" to the touch but I am able to wear it next to skin with no problems. ⁠
⁠
The Oolong Tank pattern is sized for full bust of 30-66" with additional bust shaping to add up to 5" more, and it's available today on Ravelry and Payhip. ⁠

Thank you all for your overwhelming love and support and all the kind words, the shares, everything during this anniversary week and also just generally all the time! I am so glad that my patterns are speaking to you all as much as I love them myself. ⁠
⁠
Today, I'm featuring what I consider to be fancy knits! ⁠
⁠
Maybe you fancy something a little fancy? While I love designing basics and accessories, the true loves of my heart in my pattern collection have been slightly garments with beautiful design features like lace, puffed sleeves, cables, or ruffles. ⁠
⁠
They are the most fun to knit up for me, and in my personal life I always wear these types of garments more often than the basics! Give me a cabled or lace garment any day! ⁠
⁠
What do you think? Are you a basics person or do you prefer to bump it up a bit?
I began my life as a sock designer 2 years ago wit I began my life as a sock designer 2 years ago with the launch of the #BobaTimeSocks. ⁠
⁠
I've changed and grown so much as a designer, and I know that I'm primarily known as a garment designer now, but socks still have a special place in my heart. ⁠
⁠
I'll keep designing them for as long as I can because they are truly the one item I wear every day and never have enough of. ⁠
⁠
Which of my sock patterns is your favorite so far? ⁠

All my self-published patterns are 25% off using the code ANNIVERSARY through Friday. ⁠
