Today I have a collection of coats that remind me of blazers! Something about a knit blazer is so fun to me.

Yesterday the high temperature for the day finally cooled down to the low 70′s! in Southern California, that means IT FELT LIKE WINTER! I woke up with a chill in the apartment and a smattering of sprinkles coming from the gray skies outside. This meant, in my sad little Californian heart, I knew it was time for some cozy knitting patterns… but not too cozy, cause it’s gonna be 100 again tomorrow.

Here’s some cozy slipper knitting patterns for all you living where it actually gets cold!

If I knit socks and don't fuck up the Kitchener stitch, am I even knitting socks at all?

This knitting, this coat, this whole look is just such... goals.

Today I was scrolling through patterns and while I know I am too young and don’t want kids yet, I still want kids and I’m so excited to make them adorable little hooded coats in some distant future. In this future, of course, I live somewhere where it’s NOT 102 degrees in October and when I don’t spend all my time writing essays and getting three hours of sleep because midterms. Anywayy, here’s four hooded coat patterns that I would totally make for my kids to wear to the pumpkin patch if I had kids.
