5 Things to Do During Your Off-Season

Posted on July 15, 2018July 15, 2018 by stringsandthingss

I always have a hard time motivating myself to knit big chunky winter wears in the middle of summer. It’s hot, humid, and muggy. Literally the last thing I want to be doing is working with thick wool. I don’t want to waste my entire summer (I’m sure all my other maker friends can agree), … Continue reading 5 Things to Do During Your Off-Season

I will never go back to single use cotton pads again! I love these reusable, supersoft, face pads so much and they just seem to get better the more I wash them. Every time they go through the laundry they come out softer and squishier, and it feels so lovely on your skin! Did you know that I have these listed in my Etsy shop in packs of 5 and 7? Take a step towards being more environmentally conscious and ditch the single-use cotton pads! ° ° ° #ditchsingleuse #reducewhatyouproduce #reducereuserecycle #ecofriendly #ecoskincare #savetheearth #savetheplanet #environmentallyfriendly #facepads #facerounds #reusablecottonpads #reusableproducts #reusablebeauty #reusablecottonrounds #reusablecottonfacerounds #reusablecottonfacepads #shopetsy #etsycanada #ecoetsy #ecoliving #reusablenotdisposable

How's this for a hint? I posted in my stories last week that I was finally working on writing up one of my highly requested crochet patterns. I've been powering through, taking good notes, and getting ready to write the pattern! If you are an avid crocheter, I will be looking for testers soon! What do you think this pattern is?!

These are going to be the luckiest twin baby boys! They arrived at the perfect time to stay snuggled up in chunky toques for the next few weeks 💙 ° ° ° #knitlife #knitstagram #knitspo #knittinginspo #babyboys #twinbabies#newborntoque #newborngift #babyshowergift #chunkytoque #stitchandhustle #stitchplease #allidoisknitknitknitnomatterwhat #winterfashions #winterbabies #madewithmichaels #shopbabytoques #shopbabyclothes #babyboys #twinbabyboys #momlife

I've been doing some selfish knitting recently, and it is really helping me wind down from the craziness of Christmas and other holidays. I picked up this rich, soft @ancientartsyarn yarn from @baaadannas as a birthday gift to myself because I found the most beautiful twisted front, 3/4 length sleeve sweater pattern from @kerriknits 😍 hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll be able to start working on the arms! ° ° ° #knitlife #knitspo #knittinginspo #selfishproject #selfishknitting #sweaterknitting #sweaterpattern #knitknitknit #knitstagram #handdyedyarn #fingeringyarn #iloveknitting #stitchandhustle #stitchplease #mindfulhobby

Is it just me, or does this seem like it would be the perfect colourwork design for university or team colours?! I don't know of any teams that are burgundy, black, and white... but just think how cool this would look in @Canucks colours or something like that!⁠ º⁠ º⁠ º⁠ #teampride #hockeyteampride #wearyourcolours #teamcolours #teamcolors #teampridegear #teampridetoque #colourblock #colourblocktoque #colorblock #colorblocktoque #winterhat #winterknits #wintertoque #winterbeanie #fauxfur #fauxfurpompom #veganfur #knittedhat #knittedtoque #knitstagram #knitspo #mehdincanada #madeincanada #madeinvancouver #shoplocal #shophandmade #shopcanada #canadianmaker

I love the last day of the year. My busy season has essentially ended and I can go back to my slow knitting and a few selfish projects. 2019 was a difficult year for Strings & Things, but I still loved every minute of it. Thank you all for giving me the freedom to do what I love, and for supporting me with your orders! I can't wait to see what the next year and decade will hold! ° ° ° #topnine #makerlife #ourmakerlife #makersgunnamake #stringsandthings #communityovercollaboration #communityovercompetition #knitstagram #knitspo #knitlife #knittingaddict
