I was doing a deep dive into my Ravelry account the other day, and I noticed that I had some very old projects that I had never written about. It’s a trippy feeling to look back on something I made over eight years ago and to see how far I have come, and what has stayed the same.

I learned how to crochet when I was in junior high, but I didn’t really get into it until roughly two and a half years ago when I started seeing some super adorable patterns online!

I know it’s been over a year, but I’m still not over Caron Cakes and the idea of ombré yarn cakes in general. When Michael’s had a huge yarn sale a few weeks ago, I took advantage and stocked up a bit, and started hunting for good patterns to try.

Now that it’s officially September, I feel like I can work with bulky yarn again! I’ve had this lovely Quince and Co. yarn in my stash since the summer, and I’ve been itching to work with it. I’m so excited to show you what I made!
If you are looking for aesthetically pleasing Instagram accounts to follow, Top Knot Style is basically my number one recommendation. The blankets and scarves that Amanda makes are gorgeous, and the yarn she sells looks unbelievably squishy. I’ve been crushing on this yarn for so long, but it’s definitely in the “luxury” category. Since I made my best friend put up with my endless ramblings about this yarn, I decided that I would splurge on the yarn and make her a scarf for a Christmas present!
Apparently the snow last weekend wasn’t an anomaly, because it snowed again! While I do love winter, I have a bit of regret that autumn only lasted about a week in Edmonton. Still, the bright side of the snow is that it gave me another excuse to whip up a new scarf, and this time it’s my own design!
Whenever I go shopping for clothes, I’m always drawn to two things: beige coloured tops and lace detailing. In regards to lace, I think it’s the intricacy that does it for me. I just can’t resist the patterns and the way it looks, so when I saw the pattern for this scarf, I knew I was going to have to make it!
