Panda's Knitt Knacks

Panda's Knitt Knacks I started knitting as a way to unplug from my phone & de-stress. I want to share the joy I get when I create special pieces for others.

I absolutely fell in love with using needles and yarn to create beautiful works of wearable art.

Hey its been a while! We are moving and have been in a transition faze and staying with family while looking at securing housing. I'm casting on a hat for a dear friend this week and thought I would share my favorite CO method for hats with a ribbed brim.

Finally was a sunny day! The color really pops in the sunshine. Can't wait to send it to probably the sweetest human I have ever met.

Lost track of time today! Current project I want to feature for is this top down circular shawl.

Things I'm discovering with this project:

Don't use pen when working out stitches or for anything really unless you want to use a lot of paper.

I am a crazy perfectionist who just needs to trust the process and stop over analyzing. I don't have a time limit to meet so I can relax and take this as fast or as slow as I want. No need to pressure myself.

Happy everyone! I am so excited to have officially finished the Nautile Shawl!

When I was casting off this project I was really glad I had planned to block it because it became clear pretty quickly that it would need it to drape how I wanted it to.

It truly is amazing the difference makes. So glad I remembered to take a before picture. I made use of my wires to really get a smooth round edge that I was looking for.

I had quite a journey with this project and I have some yarn left over and I'm thinking of surprising the person with a matching hat if I have enough left!

Hoping for sunshine and clear sky's tomorrow so I can got out and get pictures of this beautiful shawl in natural light!

Getting ready to spool my last skein of so that I can finish off the last bit of my Nautile Shawl. This project has had its ups and downs and I am so ready to finish this beauty and get it on the blocking mats.

One day I hope to have a designated space where I can work so I don't have to use the dining chair and sit on the floor. A nice quiet place just for knitting where I can work and sprawl as needed without fear of children hands all over.

I have a few pattern ideas in the works right now that are all mine and I can't wait to see where the creative process takes me. Definitely gonna take a break after this project though, it's been a doozy.

Happy !

I had a major setback with this project by way of toddlers climbing up where they shouldn't be and completely tearing up not only the project but the yarn itself. But I got through it with no major break downs. As upset as I was it has worked out. Luckily I was in a spot where I could order a replacement skein of yarn and start from the beginning.

I am 80 rows in and counting. This is a great project to do in little sports of time. I have about 14 ish hours of work in on this beauty now and am loving how it's turning out.

Lesson learned: don't leave projects out where kiddos roam. Even if you put it up where you think they can't get it: they will find a way.

Happy ! I'm about 34 rows into this beautiful Nautile pattern from designed by Monica Westley.

I really like that it is an easy to follow and memorize 4 row repeat. I'm also a big fan of patterns that are reverable. Pictured is the right side of the shawl. The wrong side is equally as beautiful.

I enjoy working in unusual shapes (not squares). Looking into investing in some workshops to expand my knowledge constructing unusual shapes so that one day I can design a project that is in line with my favorite kind of work.

Did some work on this on the drive home from the beach this morning. I found it was a great fit for car knitting.

All the shawls were a joy to work on. For this one I used the same 100% acrylic yarn bee soft secret as the blue that I made for the girls mom.

Definitely not as much stretch and not as easy to manipulate as the other in the sister set but it still turned out great!

Pulled a discontinued color out from my stash for this one.

Absolutely in love with how this turned out! This yarn is a 60/40 blend of acrylic and polyester. I really enjoyed working with it and it had lots of stretch to it.

Hope the little girl it's going to loves it.
