A note for Pinterest users: I have noticed an uptick in Pinterest traffic from pins I did not create nor are they related to the content of my blog. As an avid Pinterest user myself, I understand how frustrating it is to click a pin only to find completely unrelated content on the other side. It is a Pinterest-wide problem and a bane to all bloggers. These pins are bot-created (for what reasons I cannot even fathom). I do my best to find the original sources of the pin images and post the links in the Pin comments to help you find what you are looking for, but these pins are so numerous it can be difficult to stay on top of it. Knotted Up In String is a crochet blog, so if you do happen to like crochet, feel free to stick around. I’m happy to have you!
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated my site. The truth is, I’m an ADHD blogger and creator. I’m terrible with timelines and schedules and I know I post inconsistently. Just know there will always be really cool projects and patterns here on this site, on my various social media accounts, and in my Etsy store. It just might not always be on a regular schedule.
With R’s birthday coming up, I thought it would be fun to make her a dress. We’re probably not throwing a party or anything. I think that’s a side effect of living far away from extended family. And on top of that, we moved here during the pandemic so our social lives haven’t exactly been…flourishing. But I still want to make it a special day for R.
I put myself on a yarn-buying ban at the beginning of the year as my stash is getting out of hand and my WIPs number around 35+. That said, there’s no stopping me when I want to make something. I had purchased a few balls of Lion Brand’s Shawl in a Ball in Lotus Blossom last year on a whim, so I decided that would be a great yarn for R’s dress.
I mean just look at it! I’m basically in love and I don’t think the photos do it justice. And the way the colors just blend together? *chefs kiss*
I think I’m about 80% done, but it’s hard to tell when you’re making it up as you go. I can’t wait to put the finishing touches on it and see it on R!
Anyway, I have a lot more in the works so fingers crossed I get pull myself together and post somewhat more consistently.
