Hello there & Happy Thursday! I have been wanting to buy and use this yarn for ages. Every single time that I would go to Michael's I would just stare at it, entirely thrown off by the price. (11.99) though with a coupon, it really isn't a big deal, but I suppose if I was going to purchase it, I needed to have a game plan in mind.
I wanted to create a little bit more than a cropped top kind of sweater with structured sleeves. It doesn't get crazy cold here in Texas, so I opted to create a top more fitting for our Autumn seasons. Pairing it with a pair of slight high waisted denim and it's definitely a lovely combination.
I must say, working with this yarn was a bit of a dream and I entirely want to go buy more and more for all the other ideas I have stored up! The yarn is very comfortable and doesn't hold any itchy factor along with it. I'm entirely up for creating more as well as sharing the pattern!
Project Details:
The yarn I used was Lion Brand Yarn (Fishermen's Wool)
The hook I used was a H8-5.00MM
The Stay Crochet Sweater pattern is entirely experimental, made from my own pattern!
Planning to place the pattern for purchase on my Pattern Shoppe!
Hope your projects are coming along quite nicely!

Hello there! These bib/overall dresses are truly becoming my uniform this summer. So ridiculously comfy and it's entirely too much fun being able to mix patterns together, which I am all about. Exhibiting your character with the use of clothes is quite a little glimpse of your identity and I admire that representation.
This year is a year of comfort as well as expressing myself within the little things that I love!
Until next time!

Oh it's Monday and I spent the day, well the morning half, attempting to develop a roll of film I've had for quite awhile. The usual place I go to, their machine wasn't working so they sent me to another place and they don't develop film anymore, so they sent me to another place which stated the same. Kind of bummed me out a bit, y'know? I truly wish both of those worlds could co exist and utilizing film wasn't such a thing of the past. Especially since it's so magical and all, to me that is.
Nevertheless, the morning was saved by the best of friends, who I had not seen in quite awhile due to school and work, life stuff.. (This little lady) We had a super healthy and delicious breakfast while watching The Hobbit, (her first time, my 164654898 time watching it!) Fun catching up talks and ridiculous laughter ensued which is always the best medicine.
To the outfit we go! The dress romper, is actually not my size, it's two sizes too big, but I have such a grand adoration for these dress that I figured out a way to sew it down to my size. I'm a lover of the mixture, clashing of patterns and I feel this outfit casually and entirely represents my style in the most fun of ways!
Have a wonderful Monday and rest of the week!

Hello & Happy Saturday! I wore this outfit yesterday, when Cece and I, had a bit of girl time, with yummy cupcakes and browsing through a few stores. It's truly lovely catching up, discussing the future and discovering awesome little finds!
Might I say, this tapestry skirt, I am quite over the moon for it. I had a handful of clothes in my hands and they all were put back. There were only a few left and if I had to gain or lose weight just to fit the skirt, I didn't care, it had to come home with me. I know it sounds a bit on the side of crazy, but that's kind of how it should be. Right?
On a side note, I'm really excited about this crochet project I am working on, I am just hoping it all pans out the way I am seeing it in my head. It's a fun little roller coaster of a ride and I cannot wait to share the ups and downs with it quite soon!
Now I am off to enjoy my Saturday, I hope you enjoy yours!

I have no right to complain! I'm just insanely grateful that all of my sweaters and boots are being used more this year than before. I say keep it coming chill factor, layering up is entirely one of my favorite things about winter.

Hello there! The weather here has been perfect for the East Coast girl I am. I finally get to wear my sweaters for more than just one day. Instead of just waking up to cold weather and by the time I get out of work, the ac is on and the layers are let go. So this constant almost normal fall weather here, puts a smile on my face!
Anywho, I found this dress at a thrift store, I was just browsing away and was not finding much until this dress caught my eye. I love the detail of the bow on the back , but the best part was that the dress was only 3 bucks! The boots were also a grand deal, at 5 bucks from Rue 21. I loved them so much I bought another pair in a different color!
