These progress keepers where one of the first thin

These progress keepers where one of the first things I sold in my shop back when I started around 3 years ago. Back then I only made project bags. It makes me happy to see today how my world has developed over the years. Now is a more eclectic space, where sewing holds hands with knitting designs, yarn, embroidery and occasionally illustrations.and hand knitted pieces.This is much more reflective to who I am and I what I like to do and let me tell you, I am having much more fun now ! Thank you for your support, specially to those who saw my evolution from my first baby steps until today (still baby steps!) 😜 .

There are 4 Progress Keepers left in the shop if you are interested ✨ Happy knitting!

I shared this in my stories but I wanted it to have a permanent space in my feed. Basically because this is the space where I spend my days. Hours and hours of knitting, making, researching, imagining new designs, testing them and recording the podcasts. Here is also where I package your orders! At the end, my favorite space of the house. An always work in progress. It’ll be probably never be of my taste 100%. That’s what happens when your rent, that you can not really squish your deco style at the maximum because the house is not yours really. I am dreaming of stone walls mixed with crazy wallpaper rooms, wood floors and linen curtains all over. One day thought 😉 ✨ .

Pd: For those who asked, the blue pillow shown in the picture is handmade and yesterday I listed it in my shop (one available) I’ll be adding some more in the coming week!

New design 🐑 ✨

I can’t say much for the moment, just that is an accessory I am obsessed about . Any ideas? 😉 •

A BIG thank you to all those who supported me these last weeks via the ko-fi platform and through my online shop. I am very happy to say that thanks to your contributions I was able to purchase, support and use for this design the yarn from a small family company local to me. Being supportive right now is vital. I know is not a lot but every gesture counts! Thank you for supporting my creative space and allowing me to continue designing. I am a bit nervous with this design. I hope you like the result of it !

This is not wool 🤭
.
When I first started knitting all my garments were acrylics and cottons. The lack of understanding the fiber itself and how it was made plus the cost (so much cheaper than wool) made me go that road. As soon I got better in the craft I quickly saw the properties and benefits of wool as well as the environmental aspects of it compared to acrylic so I switched but I could’t buy as many yarn as I wanted because of the cost. Now I have less garments but (almost all) made of wool and I prefer to wait a bit longer in between projects to save money and (when possible) get close by wool and that has been working for me. Every time I knit with wool I know is a privilege. My heart is with wool BUT!! that said, acrylic is not evil so If you are knitting with it (like I am right now) just make sure you give the garment a good and a long long life 😉

The cardigan I am knitting now is 100% acrylic. I found these skeins a few days ago from when I started and I just couldn’t allow them to sit for years without a purpose!

What are your thoughts about acrylic yarn? Do you knit with it? Let me know below 👇🏽
