Support Chicken #2

This is the Emotional Support Chicken II

Emotional Support Chicken

Life is Hard! We All Need a Chicken to Make it Better!

These days, it often feels like life can be a real challenge. We all go through tough times; sometimes, we just need something to lift our spirits. I recently came across a fun chicken pattern, and I thought, why not join in on the trend of Emotional Support Chicken everyone is talking about. ?

I have a dear sister in-law who is dealing with a health crisis. Making this chicken for her feels like it could be the perfect touch of comfort in her healing process. It’s a small gesture, but sometimes, the little things bring us the most joy. 

All done yet, and it looks like a chicken!

I just finished making another beret, this time sized for a child or young adult. What I love about this design is that the ribbon can be flipped, giving the beret a different look. It’s a fun and versatile piece that can easily match different outfits!

Baby Blankets

Colorful Cotten with Hand-Spun Wool Beret

Many years ago, I took a trip to Solvang with some knitting friends, and naturally, we stopped by a yarn shop. I found some gorgeous yarn from colorful variegated cotton with wool and hand-spun. It was a lucky find! Recently, while cleaning and organizing my stash, I came across those skeins. I used the skeins for a beret, following a pattern from Ravelry that I've used for the last five berets I knitted as gifts for family.

Tam/ Beret with Flowers

I recently looked for an easy-to-follow Tam/Beret pattern and found it on Ravelry by Margit A.

I knitted a red, a black, an off-white, and now a black one with flower buds. 

A SWEATER FOR BABY ELIAS

It's finally finished—I think it looks fantastic!

And hey, speaking of finishing things, have you recently completed any exciting knitting or crochet projects? I'd love to hear about them! 🧶🪡

A Cozy Knit: Tam/Beret

I recently looked for an easy-to-follow Tam/Beret pattern and found it on Ravelry by Margit A, and I couldn’t resist trying it.
The pattern is written in plain English, making it user-friendly and easy to follow. I chose to use Lion Brand’s Pound of Love yarn in the vibrant color Cherry Cerise, which added a lovely pop of color to my project.
I went with size 6 for the needles, and the result is a beautifully crafted Tam with a French-inspired look. It’s perfect and has a stylish flair to any outfit.

Happy knitting!

Hot weather ...

... the perfect time to knit indoors under the cooling air conditioning duct.

I knitted a warm headband for my sister-in-law to keep her comfortable during the winter months, while my other two sisters-in-law have expressed their desire for stylish tams—what we affectionately call berets. I decided to start with the headband as my first project, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out!
I discovered DROPS Design, an excellent online resource worth checking out. They offer hundreds of fantastic patterns for various projects, along with unlimited FREE assistance for any patterns when you purchase yarn from them. The best part? All of their patterns are entirely FREE!
I chose the Double Twist Headband pattern for my project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

The Joy of Creating Socks Part II

The same pattern and yarn are used throughout, but the cuff features a beautifully knitted tooth pattern that adds an elegant touch.
