Pip & Pin

There’s still time to join me at the Knit Happy Summit, where I’ll be teaching a class on how to perfectly place your sleeves — today!

We’ll talk about what a sleeve placement adjustment is, how to determine whether it’s something you might want to try, and how to do this modification on a variety of sweater styles.

Plus, you’ll have access to 25+ more videos from other instructors on how to take you knitting beyond the basics.

See you there!

I know myself much to well to commit to the full experience, but seeing others handmade outfits has inspired me to document a few handmade items of mine that I’ve been wearing this week 🥰

1/ An oldie that I pulled out of deep storage this year, The Main Street Tee knit with (which got a good steam after this picture to take care of that fold line 🙈)

2/ My go-to layer in the spring and fall, Maema DK made with with a bonus matching coffee cup

3/ And my so-good-I-made-it-twice Catbells Cardigan knit in .

Which one is your favourite?

I started working on a new project - the Cari Top by .knits - and it’s one of those things that I just can’t seem to put down!

I’m using three balls of stash yarn to make this striped summer tank. Fingers crossed it’s enough! 🤞🤞

And what about all those ends? Well, I decided to change the pattern a bit and will be adding applied I-cord to all edgings so I can just tuck those away inside the I-cord and no one will be the wiser.

(And since taking these photos yesterday, I’ve already finished the second strap AND joined the fronts and back together - at this rate I’ll be wearing this by the end of the week! 😄)

What spring project are you working on?

A few weeks ago we got a new (to us) adventure car, and it’s been so fun getting back out, having campfires, watching beavers, drawing birds, and knitting, of course.

I suspect fire bans will be happening earlier than usual this year, so we’ve got to get them in while we can!

A new episode of the Pip and Pin Podcast just dropped and I’m this episode I share my newest FO - my Paul Klee Sweater!

After a little bit of struggle with the neckline, I’m so happy to have this sweater off the needles, and with the spring weather hitting this week it’s absolutely perfect timing 🥰
