Poppy Tee

New blog post up! 🌸 This spring I’ve been all about bold colour, and my latest knit is no exception. The Poppy Tee by PetiteKnit in the most gorgeous raspberry pink yarn combination. I am so happy with how this turned out! I also added bust darts and they were a game changer for fit 🧶

I just finished test knitting the Springline Tee for Samantha Guerin and I love it. I have been a huge fan of Samantha’s patterns and I have knit her Salty Air Tee quite a few times.

Salty air

The Salty Air Tee is another summer knit and was it ever fun to knit! This cute little number has a gorgeous lace yoke and a cropped length (well, cropped for me and shortish according to my teenage daughter). It makes for a lovely, light summer tee. I had a limited quantity of a sock yarn from Hedgehog Fibres that I wanted to use up. I wondered if I could squeeze in a summer top or modify an existing design… Read more »
