October Project - 12 Months of Knitting

 


October: Hope in Every Stitch

A new month, a new square. 🧶✨

For October, we’re exploring a simple geometric design made from two chevrons repeated across the panel. It has texture, movement and just enough pattern to make it interesting — without making it unnecessarily complicated.

This month is about building confidence through repetition.

You’ll work with familiar knit and purl stitches to create a pattern that gradually takes shape as you knit. No cables, no complicated lace and no special techniques — just careful stitching and watching a beautiful design emerge.

🌿 This month’s focus

Pattern: Stacked Chevron
Skill level: Beginner–Intermediate
Techniques: Knit, purl and pattern repetition
Needles: As specified in your kit/pattern
Project: One knitted panel for your growing collection

The beauty of this project is that you don’t have to master everything at once.

One row. One repeat. One stitch at a time.

And by the time you reach the end, you’ll have something beautiful to show for it.

💚 A little October encouragement

Don’t be tempted to rush through the pattern because it looks simple.

Sometimes the simplest patterns teach us the most — about tension, consistency, reading our stitches and trusting the process.

Keep going. Your stitches don’t have to be perfect to become something beautiful.

Face Shapes...:::

You can’t talk about beauty without thinking about the shape of the face. This affects our makeup, hair, and even clothing styles. Although each person has a unique face, there are generally seven face shapes. When you have your makeup, hairstyle, clothing and even accessories complimenting your face-shape, your appearance will be balanced and you will definitely look like the style was made for you and not something you copied off someone else. Adonmu is here to present you with several tips to enhance the way you look in relation to the shape of your face. The face shapes are: Oval, Square, Round, Triangle/Pear, Heart/Inverted Triangle, Oblong and Diamond.  There really is no such thing as “The Perfect Face”, knowing your Face Shape, helps get you that “Custom Made” look for Hairstyles, Makeup and Dressing. You need to remember that not all styles fit any face shape, thus knowing what fits your face shape is the key to having that balanced suited look. Thus we’ll pr...
