I have a new knitting project on the go (are we surprised?) and I thought it would be fun to share the whole process with you through ✨weekly updates✨, so welcome to my first WIP Wednesday! 🤩🩵
I’m super excited about this project!! I’m making a Porcelain Sweater using the gorgeous 2025 Bridgerton Advent by @castleviewyarns (photo 2) as my contrast colour(s) 🌈🐝
Today’s post is all about the planning process! Link is, as always, in my bio 🫶🏻

i’m back baby! 😎😎
got stuck in a (very sleepy) loop there for a while, but i have OF COURSE been crafting in my absence and have so much to share with you all!
First up, a Project Knitwear from the archives! I made these #mistsleeves over a year ago (!) and never got around to sharing them, but I love them SO much 🤩🤩 check out my latest blog post (link is in my bio!) for a chatty summary of my experience making them ✨🤍

I’m starting a knitting scrapbook! 🧶🩵✨
Here’s the vision: for each project, I’ll have a moodboard (for inspo & general vibes), a page for mid-project notes & musings, then a collage of photos of the finished knit!
I’m so excited about this project (mainly because it gives me an excuse to make many, many mood boards which is basically my DREAM 🤩🤩)
You can check out the initial spreads in the journal in today’s blog post! Link is in my bio 🫶🏻🌸

Recently discovered lilacs are edible (is this common knowledge?? My mind was BLOWN?!), so I made some lilac ice cream!!🍦🌸🙂‍↕️
It tastes floral, but also kind of nutmeg-y, like… rice pudding? (in the BEST way possible!) 😋✨ Lilac season is almost over here (😥), but if you’ve still got some in bloom… this one’s for you 🫡🤝
The recipe is on my website now! Link is in my bio 🤪💜

Happy Easter Weekend! 🐣🐰💐🩵✨
If you’re in need of a last-minute, seasonal treat (and who isn’t?), the recipe for these Mars Bar Rice Crispy Nests has just gone live on my website!
A hybrid of the classic chocolate nest & my FAVOURITE Mars Bar Rice Crispy Cakes, these tasty treats are quick, easy and perfect for making with kids 😋🤩💫

Double Chocolate Espresso Millionaire’s Tartlets 🍫

Double Chocolate Espresso Millionaire’s Tartlets 🍫☕️🫶🏻
The second post in my Bridgerton Bakes series is HERE (and this recipe might just be one of my all-time FAVES 😋) !!
These tartlets are inspired by the character of Araminta Gun (played by @_katieleung_ !!) and feature a chocolate shortbread crust, an espresso caramel filling and a layer of shiny dark chocolate ganache. I’ve made them like… 5 times in the past month? No regrets 🤩🤪
Full recipe is on the blog now!! Link is in my bio 💫🩵🐝

Happy Bridgerton Season 4 (Part 2) Release Day! 🐝🩵

Happy Bridgerton Season 4 (Part 2) Release Day! 🐝🩵✨
To celebrate, I’m launching a new series on the blog: Bridgerton Bakes 🤌🏻🧁 I have a whole host of recipes inspired by the latest season coming your way!
First up: these Pink & Green Checkerboard biscuits (because calling them “strawberry, pink peppercorn, matcha & vanilla checkerboard biscuits” (what they actually are) would take FOREVER) 🩷💚
They’re inspired by Rosamund and Posy Li, two of the new characters this season (side note: I’m OBSESSED with Posy so far— the people’s princess fr) 💫🤩
Get the full recipe at the link in my bio! 😎😋🥳

I’ve been wanting to make the Ovis Socks for AGES

I’ve been wanting to make the Ovis Socks for AGES and I finally did it! These were a (belated) Christmas gift for my mum 🤍😅
I wrote about the whole process on the blog (check it out at the link in my bio!) 🫶🏻🤎Expect lots of me being bemused by how much yarn I bought (???), being confused by my gauge (??? again) and being (eventually, thankfully) super pleased with the end result! 🐑✨
Pattern: #ovissocks by @saskieco
🧶: @istexlopi Einband in the shades Almond Heather (9076) and Light Ash Heather (1026) + @dropsdesign Kid Silk in the shades Off White (01) and Toffee (51)
