JANUARY 2021 COMPLETED GARMENTS.

Jan makes

I was hoping to finish three tops in January and I ended up finishing two and knitting two pairs of socks instead. Absolutely hyped though with what I got done.

The cardigan is the Cocoknits Sarah cardigan in bright blue Retrosaria Mungo yarn. It turned out so wearable! I love the fit and the color. (These are my jeans, I am 5'3" so they are not nearly as cropped on me. And these are my Keds.)

The sweatshirt is the Grainline Studio Linden made from this fleece for the main fabric and this rib for the collar, cuffs and hem. I would definitely recommend this fabric. Great colors and so soft. After much debate, I ended up stitching JOY (my 2021 One Little Word) along the neckline in quilting thread and I love it.

And the socks are two different (but very similar!) patterns. First the orange pair which I made from my first Farmer's Daughter Fibers Sock Squad package. I used the Wiksten sock pattern from the book Made By Hand. The second pair was my first experience knitting with the magic loop method and I used the free I'm So Basic Sock pattern by Summer Lee. The yarn for these is Lion Brand Mani-Pedi that I have had stashed for months.

I am currently thinking about February makes and will be back soon with my goals.

Pin It!

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
