Bellevue Cardigan

I am so pleased with how this Bellevue Cardigan turned out! Sometimes you have a vision in your head of what you want to create, and it’s always exciting when it actually comes to life.

My vision was to make an over sized and roomy cardigan that will keep you warm and toasty through the winter months. I also wanted to add a little detail so I decided to switch up the stitch combinations on various parts of the cardigan. I’m so glad I did because I think it breaks up the overall look. [Read more…]

If you know me by now, you know that I love to try new yarn. I mean, who doesn’t? I just love browsing the yarn aisle and looking at all the different colors and textures. I am constantly keeping my eye out for what’s new and how I can incorporate it into a design. [Read more…]

Ever since I laid my eyes on Lion Brand Mandala Yarn I’ve wanted to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, almost as soon as it made its debut it was sold out! I have been waiting for months and I have finally found it! I have been able to purchase the yarn through Walmart, but for me, only online. I then had to have it shipped to the store. But I got it!! And hopefully you will too! [Read more…]

Carleton Cocoon Sweater Review

 

Ever since I created the pattern for my Cozy Cocoon Cardigan, I have been even more intrigued with similar cardigan patterns and their construction. Like I have mentioned before, I don’t like difficult patterns! Crocheting is something I do to escape stress in my life! If I am crocheting a pattern and it is frustrating me, then I’m not having fun! Crocheting should be fun, right? [Read more…]

Cozy Cocoon Cardigan

So for awhile now I have been wanting to crochet a pattern for an easy and functional cardigan. A lot of the patterns I have been seeing consist of crocheting a number of pieces and then sewing them together. I knew I didn’t want my creation to be that involved. I wanted the pattern to be something that even a beginner crocheter could follow along with! [Read more…]
