i’ve been working on a lot of knit projects lately, the latest being this little adorable knit panda pin.  having a little leftover yarn from the scarf, and wanting more adorable accessories, i created this little guy.  read down below for the pattern.

so many new things to talk about!  first of all, besides knitting like crazy this weekend, i went to see the bill cunningham documentary which is nothing short of amazing.  he is so brilliant, adorable, witty, smart and dedicated.  i love peeking into the life behind this man.  if you get the chance, you have to go see this movie!

moving on to the outfit, i decided that my wardrobe was missing a pair of red pants.  i rarely go outside of my apartment to shop (i’m much more of an online buyer) so i walked into zara saying ‘i want a pair of red pants’.  and there they were.  they make me so happy!  turns out everything matches red pants.  and they happen to be a lovely match with my freshly knitted scarf. 

you’ll remember that i started this scarf only less than a week ago!  i’m getting so good at not only finishing my projects, but finishing them quick.  i LOVE how this scarf turned out.  i used the baktus pattern, alternating colors every 2 rows.  it’s garter stitch (which i normally despise) but i think the alternating colors won me over.  and i used this basic knitting as a time to practice on my speed.

after finishing a relatively big project, i wanted something super quick to work on.  which brings me to the panda. he’s a very quick (like 20 minute) knit.  you can download the pattern here. let me know if you decide to make one!

and finally a new pair of shoes!  buying boots on the cusp of spring is not ideal, which is why i’ll be wearing these as much as i can til the weather finally turns around here.
