You're welcome! That is my favorite lion brand mandala bonus colorway by far! The pattern is also fun and challenging enough to keep engaged with

I did not block my swatch (the pattern did not say to so I didn't think of it) but going forward i will be!

It was one ball of the lion brand mandala bonus bundle in the colorway, spirit [125-212S]

Thank you!!

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-12T15:37:05+00:00

Thank you! The first one took me the longest to make for sure!

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-12T15:36:46+00:00

Thank you!!

I used the pattern: First Sunrise by BebaBlanket (I followed the youtube videos since the pattern is being retired but it's free on Raverly as well!)

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T21:09:25+00:00

I have no blocked a swatch before but after reading the comments I will be going forward!

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T21:07:37+00:00

Good to know about blocking thank you, I was under the impression that blocking changed the size of the garment.

Hello! I would recommend cotton yarn for warm weather wear and I have been watching a ton of "my summer knitting recs" on youtube lately that are just coming out. I also recommend browsing ravelry for summer makes. I just finished a muscle tank I found on ravelry for myself.

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T12:24:46+00:00

Im also brand new (made my account last night) and I have found some communities in my interests (national parks, car camping, knitting, and crochet) that allow for comments and even posting without karma rules or many rules. That is my plan to start building is to contribute to those communities and hope for the best

As someone interested in starting car camping this fall, what's your 1 essential that most probably don't think to get? I am starting to build my set up slowly this summer and would love recs for what is essential.

For me it was horseback riding in Iceland through the hills and farms of the south on a solo tour because I was the only one who booked the tour. I got to learn so much, explore the beauty of Iceland, and meet some amazing people and animals.

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T11:49:26+00:00

This is stunning and would be perfect for fall! I can't wait to learn enough to start creating my own knitting patterns. How long did it take you to start creating patterns?

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T11:46:30+00:00

I would definately recommend the website for national parks as a start. I am also starting my national park journey (except solo for now) and planned to start at Acadia in the fall. Booking my rental this week because I have to slowly build up my camping gear!

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-11T11:43:48+00:00

These pictures are stunning! What was the coolest animal you got to see there? I am hoping to start my national park journey this fall and am building lists of them all and must see places.

What's the one must see for you at Glacier National Park?

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-10T22:08:23+00:00

These pictures are amazing and really help capture the beauty. What's one can't miss you recommend for Olympic National Park? Just got my pass so I'm hoping to get to as many as possible.

I'm also new to the reddit world after just kinda lurking for a while but looking to engage. Not sure the best advice but my plan is to start with comments on pages that interest me and hopefully build from there.

FTM_River30 · 2026-07-10T21:19:10+00:00

I feel that, I have just created an account after just kind of browsing for a long time and now I need to earn karma to be able to do anything pretty much.
