My Precious Sweater was by far my best design ever. This year, this design will turn 5, and for me sounds like a big number, but thinking that a crocheted design lasted in time so well is amazing. I am beyond happy that I made a second sample using a gorgeous yarn, Alpaka Silk DK by Expression Fiber Arts. I think this yarn makes this design even more “precious.” I made a few small changes to the initial pattern and will share the new version with you. So many people made this sweater, and if you are new here and want to try to make your own “My Precious Sweater,”…

There's been more than a year since I tried to publish the Thleisure Pants Pattern, and I am glad I can finally do it. For some reason, I kept putting aside this project for various reasons. The most time-consuming of all was that I also wanted to make a video tutorial for this pattern. And after all, there will be no video tutorial. I am sad and disappointed because all the hard work was blown with such a small mistake or maybe more.

I started working on the Lava Pullover prototype last year in February. I used leftover yarn, different fibers, and weights, and I loved the result. But I didn’t have time to finish that first sample, maybe because I cut the yarn at every round, and there were so many ends to weave in. Don’t get me wrong, I got over being “scared” about weaving the ends, but I think I stopped working on it because I felt that nobody would like to try a sweater/top like this with so many ends.
