I recently found these beautiful pictures of Audrey Hepburn hanging out casually with a striped sweater. It’sContinueContinue reading “Knitting a striped sweater inspired by Audrey Hepburn”

Free Sock Pattern: The Riverbank Socks
A few weeks back I had the opportunity to test out an app that was new to me. The first time I heard about it, I have to say I was a little bit skeptical because it sounded too good to be true. But after trying it out, I can confirm it’s real. There reallyContinueContinue reading “Free Sock Pattern: The Riverbank Socks”
Fire Escape Socks – Knitting Pattern
Inspired by the cherry blossoms down my street in Astoria, with their pink flowers that only last a week, this is a sleeveless top, that can also be worn as a vest, and if knitted with cotton yarn, it’s a great spring and summer garment.
Making a Vintage Pinafore Apron
Have you seen on those period dramas or film, how during the day women always wore aprons? Not only working women or those working as servants in big houses (I’m thinking Downton Abbey) but also just regular everyday women. Up to the 1950’s it was pretty normal for a housewife as well as girls. It’s an extra layer of protection for your clothes, specially when you weren’t changing them daily and you had a lot of manual work to do.

Stash Buster Headband – Free Knitting Pattern
I love how hairbands are a quick, easy project that you will be wearing all the time. They are super cute and no matter if your hair is long or short, they can keep it in place when you are active, help with a bad hair day, or just to add a cute detail to your outfit. Once you start making hairbands, it’s hard to stop!
