Hi pals! We are back with our February recap of everything I knit, crocheted, and read in February! I am going to be honest, this month flew by for me. I read a lot and crocheted very little and thats okay. Sometimes you need to take a break and go on a few adventures instead.
Anyway, lets get into it! (Normally there is a YouTube video to go alongside this, but my macbook decided to eat the footage and I haven’t been able to restore it. Next time!)
February Recap
Everything I worked on
Sock # 1
Pattern link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/im-so-basic-socks
As always, it wouldn’t be a month of makes if I didn’t have at least one of these socks, and this month I have two! Now, they don’t match, one is for my partner and this set will be for me, but once I finish this one I jump back to his and should have it done in March. Wish me luck!
Beanie
I have a set of fingerless gloves I made a few months ago with this yarn, and I have juuuuuuust enough yarn left over for a simple knit beanie. I think. I hope. I didn’t follow a pattern, but I casted on 77 stitches, worked in a k1p1 ribbing for about 7 rows, then started knitting in the round. Ill do some decreases near the end and then cinch it closed, but nothing too fancy, just using up the yarn I have on hand.
Calad Shirt
Pattern link: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/calad-shirt
This shirt is being made with Sewrella cashmere blend yarn and even though its 497 million stitches (okay, 180 ish or so) long, it’s taking a bit longer than I planned… But I also plan assuming I am going to sit still long enough to make progress, but as you can tell, it’s been limited.
Knit tank top

Everything I finished
Cardigan
Alright pals, here’s where the fun begins. I am officially looking for pattern testers. If you want to test this cardigan, make sure you sign up here! I am needing testers in sizes xs-5x, there will be a 10-12 week turn around, and I will be sending it out next Saturday.
This cardigan will be published at some point in August. (it’s blurry because I am technically not allowed to show it, but if you want to see see it make sure you’re signed up to be a tester!)
Sean’s sock
Another one of the same socks I make every month. 😅
Knitting Machine Beanie
No pattern for this one, just 110 rows on my Addi 44 pin knitting machine. I used Big Twist Yarn for this one.
