I’m sorry, but I haven’t been crafting as much lately, so this week is back to the archives to find another hidden gem. Most of the time I’m still in awe that this blog has been running more or less regularly since December 2015, so if some of my posts are scraping the bottom of the barrel, I hope you can forgive me. This post is about a super cute puff stitch scarf that ended up being a gift to a friend, so I have no idea what happened to it.

#375 – Basic Circle Scarf
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 remember feeling so proud of this circle scarf, and feeling so special gifting it to my mom.
Continue reading#305 – Parallel Shawl
This shawl is GIANT. As in, twice-my-arm-span-giant. If it hadn’t been a test knit, I definitely would have gotten rid of half of the repeats for a much more manageable size. However, despite the seemingly endless rows of garter stitch, the end result is so striking that I thought this project was absolutely worth it.
Continue reading#271 – Trestle Shawl
I alluded to this pattern test a few weeks ago when I talked about the Garter Tab Cast-On, and I’m excited to finally be able to show you how this shawl looks! The shawl is a great size for wrapping up in, and the pattern is so satisfying to work up.

I’m trying to work my way through some of my yarn stash, and this was a perfect project for a TV and knit binge. The diagonal stitches reminded me of Christmas trees (especially in the green colour), which seemed fitting for this month of December.
Continue reading#245 – Striped Brioche Shawl
I had always intended to give this shawl as a gift, but I was so so close to keeping this for myself when I saw how it turned out. The gradual fade of the accent colours with the beige neutral looked amazing, and the brioche made for the softest, squishiest shawl I had ever made.
Continue reading#185 – C2C Scarf
I’m not sure if you remember my huge push to crochet items for donation last winter, but this scarf was one of them! Because of the beautiful colourways of Caron Big Cakes, I knew that I could pick a super simple design and this yarn would still shine.
Continue reading#167 – MERIDIAN Scarf
For the last few years, I’ve been trying to build up a little arsenal of toques, scarves, and mittens to donate each winter. Seeing as it’s almost spring (fingers crossed) I wasn’t able to do it this winter, but maybe this can be the start of a stash for next year.
Continue reading#149 – Flower Shawl
This has been my big project of this Japan trip, mostly because of the yardage — it’s almost one kilometre of yarn! I’ve never used single ball of yarn that big before, but I’m absolutely in love with this colour fade, and this pattern is so scrumptious.
#137 – Triangle Ripple Shawl Edging
A few months ago, I made my Triangle Ripple Shawl, and while I loved it, I also knew that I wanted to revisit it and finish the edging as the pattern intended. Now that it’s summer, I finally had enough time to get back to it.
