I found my knitting! After two weeks of turning my house inside out i finally thought to check the lost and found at my school and lo and behold, it was there. Just in time for my 11 hour flight :)

crochet and knit girlies shouldn't fight we should kiss instead I don't make the rules

I love how sashiko patterns grow.

Before, I’ve patched on the inside, but with jeans I’ve found that they can become a little too tight after multiple patches. Besides, I really like how the fraying edge of the patch adds to the effect.

Yall I haven't been able to knit since wednesday bc I LOST MY FUCKING KNITTING

My cable knit sweater is coming along! My needles broke twice but the front panel is almost done and then I'll just need to do the sleeves and the neckline :)

Autumn means it's time to do the knitting thing again

“Great Tits!”, inspired by the Great Tit, a small insectivorous bird with a black and white head, blue wings and tail, olive green upper body and yellow underparts.

Okay. So.

Tower is done!

It cost me additional day of work and pain in my fingertips from pulling all the underlying canvas, but IT'S DONE! (The canvas was breaking apart as I expected - and feared - it would. I ended up pulling horizontal strings first with a help of a big needle and then all the verticals just swiftly came out.)

For a while I was consider leaving it kinda like this though...

...on account of this stage being fast and easy to achieve 🙃

I'm preparing next pattern to put on the other side of the back - one of the bigger SDV trees with an additional magpie sprite and another Junimo (once I decide on the colour). Stay tuned!

My crochet lacy blouse, made with a 2 mm hook and cotton yarn. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Especially the ruffle, makes the whole thing more vampiry

I have a question for the cross stitch embroiderers out there. I'm thinking about trying my hand at cross stitch embroidering onto clothing, and I was wondering what the best canvas cloth is? I have some standard thick Aida cloth but I'm not sure if the heaviness/thickness would make it hard to remove once I'm finished

I knit a sweater in ten days 🙃 it’s the Sibling Sweater My Size by Laura Penrose in Sandnes Garn Alpakka Ull and Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino and I l love it

somehow today was the first day that I was able to knit in a rocking chair and let me tell you guys that was a magical moment. I understand old ladies so much better now, like of course I want to sit in a rocking chair outside and watch the neighbors. These grandmothers were light years ahead with their thinking.

wheeee look what i did today !!

im enjoying the FUCK slowly appearing. my stranded colorwork tension is way better, my knitting is very tight so it turns out i need to make my stitches what FEELS like absolutely comically loose, and that balances out somewhere in the middle.

This is a days work so hopefully I can crank these bad boys out pretty quick !! I have time off before I start my new job

Does anybody have any recs for free sock patterns? Preferably cable knit but I'm not too picky

[17unfinishedprojects]

@twistedmyrib asked to see the inside of my hannigram sweater and yeah sure why not :)

[17unfinishedprojects]

Do you ever just look at what you've just made and kinda go "holy shit, I actually made that?" That's the most satisfying feeling in the world.
