New new pretty pretty- toe ups with stripes! This is Sweet Georgia yarn (the blue one, and for the love of God I lost the tag but...) and the variegated is Alegria in Dragon. Both such amazing yarns, and a treat for my fingers to work with! FO pictures to come, I should be able to fly these off my needles tonight! Love, Kris

Working on my second sock in the most beautiful purple yarn- I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday, so I have a couple days off work! I'm excited to dig into the tail end of this project 💜 Love, Kris

After an extended hiatus (I'm blaming being busy at school!) I'm back with my newest project- slip stitch patterned socks for my grandmothers birthday :) loving how they're working up, maybe I'll make a proper pattern for them... Anyways! I'm glad to see the sun peaking back out in the always gorgeous Okanagan valley! Kris xxxooo

I'm very excited to announce I'll be releasing my very first sock pattern in the next week! They are toe-up socks with simple mini cables on the front, just the right balance of simple knitting and visual interest :) This will be a free pattern downloadable on Ravelry, and I'll be sure to link it in my blog. I would appreciate so deeply if you helped spread the word, designing is new and amazing world for me, and I simply can't wait to share with you guys! So much love, Kris 💕

Progress on my toe-ups… Very, VERY happy!!! I’m happy with how smooth my toe increases worked out, I used only kfbl (knit through front and back loop) for all the increases and was worried it would lay funny. BUT, it’s working out really well! Happy New Years to you all ❤ I’m pretty new to the knitting community on Tumblr, but I can honestly say I love all of ya, and am grateful for your support! May 2016 bring only the best, Kris

I know it's such a terrible photo, but I just had to share my progress on my FIRST EVER TOE-UP SOCK! As you can see from the photo, I really want to make the Stitch Surfer sock, but figured I should make a vanilla toe up before trying a more complex pattern :) I'm not following a pattern for this (nor do I ever knit from a pattern), I'm reverse-engineering my usual cuff down sock! Back to university in only 4 days... Can't wait for the grind to start back up again! Much love, Kris

You see a pretty striped sock, I see 45 minutes of sewing in the ends, holding onto my faulty sanity

My first Christmas giving away my knitting! It's only three pairs, but I'm so pleased with the progress in the quality of my knitting, the design of my package (I used Canva, you should check it out!!), and the speed at which I was able to whip these babies up! From top to bottom, for my aunt Brooks, for my family friend Ann, and for my aunt Lise. Merry Christmas to you all, and may those last-minute knitters and crocheters get their projects done in time to be under the tree :) Much love, Kris

Much love from the exhausted-from-final-exams Kris <3 

Hey all! It's been a good weekend for me- a treated myself to some new yarn to make socks for my feet, and I got to send my yarn swap buddies package! As you can see, my cat Romeo was a big help getting it wrapped... Only one more week of classes until finals, then Christmas! Love, Kris

Okay, one more post tonight! I am so, so, so close to being done by first pair of afterthought heel socks! I just have the very tip of the second heel left to do, a few ends to weave in, then these babies are good to go! The photos aren't quite true to colour- the yarn is softer and more subdued in real life 😍 Kris

Earlier today, working on Christmas socks! This is the first sock, and I'm enjoying knitting this slip stich pattern... However.... Like the noob I am, I didn't bother to make/ take a swatch for gauge, and this little guy is fitting hella tight!! I'm hoping the the recipient has significantly smaller feet than I do! I also have a bit if charity knitting, of sorts, planned for the coming few days! The mother of one of my friends is very ill, and is on chemotherapy. She's having a hard run at it, so I figure I'll knit her something cozy and bright to cheer her up and warn her up. It's midterm week at UBCO, so I'm feeling the pressure, but it's so nice to have knitting to turn to when I needed to de-stress and relax after or before a long day😊 Kris
