🌈Pattern Release! 👽 The Touka Sweater + FREE PATTERN: Drawstring Charms!

Sometimes, amazing patterns stay in the vaults for way too long. I drafted the first version of the Touka Sweater in October 2017 for Halloween sweaters for my kiddos. It quickly became my go-to pattern for sweater-making because it was so quick and so easy. I used it for almost every holiday at least once since then! I was constantly putting other newer patterns ahead of the Touka until a few months ago when I declared the time was neigh! I must turn the Touka Sweater I’d loved for so long into a real-life pattern!

a Very SHINee XMAS Eve: Flame of Love, Dream Girl, + Married to the music

It’s holiday time again! The theme was “A Very SHINee Xmas” and the girls each picked a look from one of their music videos for their outfit inspiration! This year we hadn’t gotten a real chance to take a lot of pictures so I only did a re-shoot with Sephira’s Flame of Love outfit since I had zero good ones of her! I plan on doing some more of Azriella’s Dream Girl outfit at some point if she’s up for it!
