There is so much going on out there in maker land! So many new pattern releases, CAL’s, collaborations, and more! I thought I would share just a few of my favorites for this past week.
This lovely cardigan was designed by Corey of CS Handmade Crafts. Corey writes, ” I designed the Summer Ivy Cardi after not being able to find a pattern that matched what I wanted. When I saw this stitch pattern in one of my books I instantly knew what I wanted to do with it. Thus, the Summer Ivy Cardi was born. The name of the cardi is after the stitch design. It reminded me of the way ivy climbs up a garden trellis so it only seemed fitting to name it Summer Ivy Cardi.”
The pattern is available on Etsy and Ravelry. This cardi is in my cue and I will be making it soon! I love how light and airy it is. You can find Corey at:

I just adore this sweet top by Brianna of Life and Yarn!
Brianna writes, “The Sadie Top is that perfect any season piece you need in your wardrobe. Sadie is classic and simple. Go ahead and wear her out to run errands and still look stylish! A girl’s night out? Yeah Sadie is your girl! Pair her with skinny jeans and pumps and trust me you will be ready for wherever the night takes you! Oh and don’t forget holiday parties! Sadie fits right in! Flattering and elegant, Sadie is ready for anything!”.
This pattern is FREE on her website! She has tons of pics and detailed instructions. Go check it out! I will be making this soon!

I am currently working on the Cypress Textiles Vibrant Vintage CAL. This one is a reboot of the VVCAL from 2016. Rachele is the creative mastermind behind this project. She has made over 300 blankets and is creating more. I am using the Scheepjes Softfun that she recommends and it is awesome!
The VVCAL is FREE on her website and Ravelry. You can find Rachele at:

Summer Fun Pattern Bundle
This is the deal of the Summer! Over 50 patterns for $19! Over 40 makers have contributed patterns to this collection. This is an excellent way to support our favorite makers! I am not adding links for this because you will need to go to the link provided by the maker so they can get credit for the sale of the bundle. All of these makers have links on their social media. Many of them are doing additional giveaways with the purchase. Go find them and buy this awesome bundle!
I hope you enjoy these awesome makers and projects! Happy Friday!
Happy Making!
