So I think I forgot to post about it here but I'm knitting my own wedding dress.

Edit to add materials: I'm using suri silk alpaca (apparently I'm slightly allergic to mohair?), and glass beads for the silvery and pearl beads.

The Mice at Work, Threading the Needle painted by Beatrix Potter (1866 - 1943)

[craftingtocope]

done at last! been on my needles and on my mind since November. A clear long term project docket is so freeing

new skills: 3 needle bind off, flat colorwork, corrugated ribbing

biggest lesson learned was that i need to pay more attention to my edges with this kind of construction. the neckline is kinda messy and i cant fix it without ripping out the entire front. its still wearable though and im overall pleased!

the pattern is the Tracery Vest by wipinsanity and the yarns are KnitPicks Stroll (Black) and Hawthorne (Compass Kettle - Yellow)

If you interrupt a knitter while they’re counting stitches you will be greeted with LOUDER COUNTING

WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN HOBBY LOBBY

[craftingtocope]

You think “oh it would be useful to learn how to identify my thrifted yarn and clothing” and before you know it you’ve been recruited by fiber witches giving out their spells willy nilly, again

The satisfaction when you finish your knit and only have the washing and blocking left to do!

Pattern is the Illusion vest by EMRKNITS, i modified it to have a more boxy fit.

I used the Heritage 6 yarn by CascadeYarns

Took a month to complete, started it on January 15th, finished it on February 15th!

So a while ago I saw a video with someone saying "you can imitate knitting with crochet but I've never seen anyone imitate crochet with knitting" and my brain was like I bet you can though so I present to you knitted double crochet

I think it's a pretty good approximation, though I'm sure most crocheters can spot which swatch is the real one. Not sure I'd ever use it over actual crochet, but I like knowing it's possible.
