#new pattern

It's made of Bamboo pop on a US 6 needle. Because I hate knitting the same thing twice I did attempt to make this pattern customizable. The lace is both charted and writen out for convenience.

The Wild Roses sock knitting pattern is live!

Wild roses bloom in spring, heralding warm weather and growing greenery. These flowers may be smaller and less elaborate than their cultivated cousins, but they’re hardy and enduring, and their tiny pink blossoms a wonderful sight for any prairie traveller. They always make me nostalgic for childhood days spent wandering the countryside under the bright, open sky.

I knit my pair up in Little Wing Fibers' LW sock in the colourway Cherry Blossom Season.

As always, a huge thank you to my test knitters for all their help getting this pattern ready!

🎉 [NEW PATTERN RELEASE] 🎉

Tonight is a very special night for all ballet lovers 😍 This is the premiere evening of a new ballet performance starring young ballerina Melanie 🩰 and the audience is gathering cheerfully at the theater 🥳

As the lights dim in the auditorium, silence falls over the audience, and the air is buzzing with excitement! 🥰 The curtain slowly opens and the music 🎶 starts playing. Under the dazzling light of the spotlights, Melanie steps lightly onto the stage and starts to dance around. The audience is enthralled. Melanie’s movements are so precise, charming and light that at times it looks as if she is not dancing at all, but rather hovering over the stage. At her side, Graceful Kitty 🐱 is dancing in time to the melody, making the same movements as the young ballerina. At the end of their splendid performance, Melanie an Graceful Kitty make a curtsy to the audience and both freeze in anticipation. The audience bursts into thunderous applause 👏🏻 cheering and rising to their feet to give them a standing ovation 🎊 A smile blossoms on Melanie’s lips. She and Graceful Kitty are now true ‘prima ballerinas’! 😍

Friendy Melanie with Graceful Kitty is the eighth doll from the “AradiyaToys Friendies” collection.

The pattern is already available in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian here -> https://etsy.me/3F9t6Wx 🤗

Yarn: Scheepjes Catona.

Today in a nutshell 🥜

It was my first day back at work of the year. It wasn't super pleasant, considering the fact I've thrown up first thing in the morning. It's the medicine's side effect and luckily it doesn't last very long after the morning. I've taken it slow today, just focused on work, played some ff7 remake with my partner, learned some Portuguese, did yoga and had a nice shower. I can feel me and my partner starting to be a bit sad because of my departure on Friday. Emotions are a good thing though, and I'm trying my best to let them out in the ways that I can. I also plan to get in touch with my therapist soon so we can schedule our next appointment. The day was alright, I am being mindful of my needs, and things are okay.

Things we feel grateful for 🐦

I am very grateful for the splendid night with friends we had yesterday, and for the photos I managed to take with my partner. I really like having photos with them! I'm also grateful for myself, for my creativity and for the million works of art I can enjoy in different languages.

Positive affirmations and self-love 💖

I am beautiful. My feelings are valid. I love who I am and I love the people around me. I am trying my best. I can overcome the challenges of life.

Things we hope and look forward to ☘️

I hope that tomorrow is a fun day and I look forward to going out shopping, spending time with my partner, and I hope I feel good enough to exercise because I like it very much.
