I’m watching game 1 of the NBA Finals as I write this. It’s history in the making as Toronto gets a shot at being NBA champs! It’s the very first time the Finals is held outside of the US and I couldn’t be more proud and happy for my city! Let’s gooooo, Raptors!
I haven’t been as active on Social Media these past few months. I had a big deadline to meet and I noticed going on Instagram distracts me so much that before I know it, an hour has gone by! I struggle with remaining relevant, and felt anxious due to major FOMO, but in the end I made a conscious decision to limit my browsing and put the phone away so I could get work done.
I allow myself a few minutes in the morning to browse, often while I sip my second cup of coffee after dropping the kids off at school. A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon this gem from @knitbot and had to share it with you!
This is the Nini Pullover, designed by Hannah Fettig. It’s an oversized cropped sweater knit seamlessly from the bottom up and calls for DK weight yarn.
It comes with 2 variations for the neck – a rolled hem or a hood. Love both, and as much as I adore a great hoodie, I know I’ll get more use out of this garment worn layered over a collared shirt. Preppy all the way!

I got excited because I have been wanting to use up the yarn I brought back from my trip to Rhinebeck last year. At first, I thought I was going to make the Mara Shawl but I’ve since had a change of heart with knitting triangular shawls – at least, for the time being. When I checked the pattern details for the Nini, I knew I finally found the perfect project for it!
The yarn is from Primrose Yarn Co’s Rose Gold Collection in the colorway Dreams. It’s 100% SW Merino, 3 Ply Sport Weight and I can’t wait to cake it up! I’m excited to cast on my very first hand dyed sweater!!!
I really like this contrasting stripe detail for the bottom hem. I have some leftover Brooklyn Tweed Arbor in Arabesque that I hope to use up. The pattern did not include yardage for this however, and Arabesque is DK not Sport weight so I’ll have some playing around to do!
Hello, new project!
