I'm finally back to blogging my scrumbles again...and I definitely do intend to keep it up on a fairly regular basis for a while, at least over the next couple of months, until I reach #52 (a year's worth, even though it will have taken me more like 2 years to complete them all) I really love creating small freeform pieces, so this one contains 2 small hearts, one knitted and the other crocheted from the same dark lilac twinkly man-made yarn.

A new PDF tutorial for creative freeform knitting.

Skip the pattern to relax.

ALUMA ✨Unique Artisan Fashion on Instagram: "Wonder how it all comes together?💚 Some of you have asked about tutorials and patterns. While each piece is a freestyle creation (without any pattern), i do love teaching creative crochet and knitting and showing you how you can make your own. Would you be interested in learning online? Let me know in the comments! 🧶✨"

Various yarns and needles were used for this KAL as well as a couple of old motifs and scrumbles. A tutorial is available in the International Freeform Forum Group here.
