I wanted this next photo to be cat-free but let me zoom out to show you my cat Bootsie – lol.. She is very independent but has gotten extremely clingy since we took in a stray kitten a couple of weeks ago.

The actual photo with the Secret Garden yarns I plan to use in my latest pattern brainstorm which will feature diamonds and bobbles ❤️❤️❤️


Peep all of the brand new Secret Garden “solids” – gorgeous tweeds – and notice the beautifully chosen colors for the little marly bits.

I chose three of the multis for my project:

Close up of Rambling Blooms because Heart Eyessss, I love this!! What kind of Aladdin Jasmine royal sorcery is this gorgeous color??

By the way, last minute I decided to move the solid red over to the multi side. This pattern will alternate between solid and multi, and I want all the solid colors to stand out! So I’ll be hiding dispersed red squares throughout the multi sections 🙂 Much better 🙂

Can’t wait to share more of my Secret Garden project with you all!

Here’s my first square:


I would describe this yarn as a thick and thin tweed.. how fun is that?! Every stitch is a surprise and I’m looking forward to using all the colors – if the solids are this fun, I can only imagine the multis!


More to come on this project. I think I’ll name it “Hearthside Blanket” because it’s so homey and cozy with familiar and dear square patterning.
