After I had my son last fall, I’ve found that my flexibility is nothing like it used to be before him. And that wasn’t even that great, I’ve never been the most athletic person. I try to take care of my body but I’m not very consistent about exercising. I go through phases of being decent about it but then I get busy at work and fitness just slips into the background. But our workplace now offers free fitness classes during the day, and I have time to sneak in a class once or twice a week. One of them that I’m really enjoying has been yoga! I wanted to invest a little bit in doing it myself so I bought a decent mat for myself, and of course I had to make my own bag to carry it.

Easy Granny Hexagon Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review
I chose this pattern in particular because it was very basic and straightforward, plus it adds a really cute scalloped edge that I actually ended up skipping for my own version. I liked the look and wanted to do it, but then in the end my cardigan has a lot of color and I just thought adding that extra texture would push it a little over the edge. This pattern was very easy, and I’m grateful for that. Sometimes you need a nice simple repetitive pattern in an old familiar stitch! Granny stitch always comes in handy when you want a project that works up quickly and isn’t too heavy or stiff. It gives a good drape for wearables and is warm without being stifling.
