Review: My First KnitCrate

Choosing the Right Yarn Colors
Yarn color palettes to help make color choices β what season it might be worn, complimenting a skin tone/eye color, the age of the recipient, or simply based on the pattern and type of stitches used.

Ankerβs Summer Shirt Review
The clouds part and the sun shines in, birds are chirping; itβs going to be a good day. Why, you might ask? Well this is one of those magical moments where the stars aligned and I found a perfect pattern with the perfect fit and the perfect yarn. Finished in time to wear it during the correct time of year, no less! That almost never happens; I think I might need to go play the lottery today to capitalize on this lucky streak.

I live for a sale. I see those 4 bold letters on a sign and suddenly my mind is a rolodex flipping through project ideas for said sale product. And when itβs a yarn sale, you can bet Iβm going to buy some, because I need it. Iβll use it. Iβll definitely use itβ¦?

Budget-friendly bathroom makeover: Part 2

Budget-friendly bathroom makeover: Part 1
The guest bathroom β you see it, use it, then forget about it. Itβs somehow both the most-used room in your house and yet the lowest on the remodel priority list. Part 1 of this journey highlights the process of repurposing the existing vanity & wall mirror, as well as repainting the bathroom walls and adding in new accessories to freshen up the space.

Sewing masks with leftover fabric
What better reason to dust off the sewing machine than to make something we all need right now β face masks. Admittedly, I have more patience for almost any other craft besides sewing, but Iβm determined to like it and get better at it. That seems healthy, right?
