Hi, everyone. I’ve been a lot more active as a test knitter than a designer as of late. I’ve been enjoying making myself tops that actually fit me properly – sadly, it can be trickier than you’d expect as a fat crafter. Shown here are my Cottage Living Jumper from Victoria Marchant Knits (who I’m posing with in the photo – we met for the first time in person this past March at the East Anglia Yarn Festival) and my Staple Tank from Perfectly Knotted, using Sister Ananse Yarn. I figured I’d also show off a beautiful hat pattern (the Northern Attitude Beanie, also from Perfectly Knotted) that I enjoyed test knitting so much, I made it twice!

Since I have been not focused on designing patterns, I decided to fully close down my Patreon page. It had been inactive (not charging anything) for well over a year, so I thought the time had come to close it for good. I left my Ko-fi open as a tipping option, but honestly, I’m not expecting payments from anyone at all. I appreciate everyone who supported me while I was actively designing.
