My Projects

Stuff I've Made

Blue n white scarf. My 1st ever knitting project, so has lots of mistakes in it, but in the end definitely functions as a working scarf and my nan loves it, wears it all the time ^^ it taught me how: to cast on, knit stitch, switch colours, increase and decrease, and cast off

Yellow, white n grey tea cosy. Too big n wrong shape but sits cutely on ma teapot. Taught me how to: stocking stitch and sew pieces of knitting together

Gloves in pink n rainbow. Most proud of these. Taught me to bear in mind size when choosing how many stitches to cast on

Blanket thing. Mainly made it just to see what my different yarns looked like. Taught me that it's not too realistic to put yarns of 2 different thickness together..

In Progress

Hat. Taught me rib stitch! Along with how to make tube shaped stuff w circular knitting needles

Trans scarf for my best fwend uwu. I hope I can finish it before Christmas and I also hope that there's enough yarn for it..

Rainbow blanket..for my cat. Realised I have yarn for all the colours of the rainbow, so I may as well use them? Don't rly know how long or wide to make it tho, nor how many rows per colour 🤔ᴴᴹ it's for my cat so it doesn't have to be huge, I just noticed how he likes to lay on things like tea towels or newspapers and realised he doesn't actually have a blanket or something. So I'd like to make that for him.

Want

Rly wanna make stuff from fandoms that I'm in. I especially want to cosplay Eri's blue scarf, pink dress and purple thigh highs. And I also rly wanna make Yeonho's jacket

A temperature blanket type of project, specifically a mood one, but probably not a blanket? Idk. Maybe a dress or jumper instead. I'll see. Would prefer to do it for 2023, but would like to make for years from 2020 onwards, since that's when I started tracking my daily moods

Similar to my idea of the cosplays, I could make pieces inspired by certain things I like. For example, I could make something Eri, using colours associated with her, and etc w the rest of the characters I like ^^

Gonna complain a little bit because I wanted to dye up the last of the fibre for my handspun sweater project like yesterday (I only need like 50 more grams dyed up 😭 it's so close to being done) but all my motivation went right out the window as soon as half my face became paralysed 🫠 as soon as I can blink again I will be pulling out my dye pot, mark my words!

I do have about 1,065 yards of a lovely dark red polworth yarn I spun a while ago, I coooould probably make another bracken vest out of it, I think I have enough 🤔

Overall I'm doing my best to remain positive and not let myself get too down about the whole paralysed face thing I know it'll get better, but patience is hard sometimes.

Final impressions from my latest sweater project 🤔

•It's official — I prefer saddle shoulder sweater way more than raglan (seems to fit my body way better too 🤔👀) (...maybe next time I come across some sweater in raglan I'd convert it into a saddle shoulder instead heh!)

•Just as it was bound off the needles I already had thoughts for adjusting it (would be useful if I make another one next time, this time I followed the pattern more or less) (like make the shoulder straps a few stitches wider, shorten the final increase, etc. etc...)

•I was correct with my meterage estimation of the yarn (~1088-1120 m for a sweater of my size), what I got wrong was the proportion of the yarn (unsurprisingly I needed more red than yellow yarn, and I was still right to buy another skein of the red yarn and prepare it (I got another skein of yellow too but thankfully I didn't have to use that for this project, but now I have extra yarn in my stash though 🥴))

•I did one more short row turn than what the pattern instructed (thinking that six short rows in total might not be enough to raise the neckline, so I knitted eight instead), it turned out to be just enough (more than that and it would probably shift the shoulder straps forward and off the shoulders instead 😅😛🙈)

•I could probably get away with knitting just 8 short rows, maybe even just 10 at most when knitting saddle shoulder/raglan type of sweater (probably because I knitted the short rows right after the neckline ribbing, or because the back of my shoulders doesn't rise that much higher from the front) (that said I added 10 short rows for my circular yoke sweater and somehow that wasn't enough to raise the neckline 😐🤦🏽)

•I have to figure out a way to tidy up my pivot joint — the joint on the right sleeve looked the neatest but I am not sure if I actually managed to pull it off 🤪🥴🙃🙈

Don't mind me, I just wanna ramble about some misc crafty projects I want to do but I can't because 1) I'm in Knitting Jail and 2) I don't quite have the supplies

Like a year or two ago I tried doing some cross stitching and got some aida cloth specifically for that. I enjoyed it enough but haven't really had much of a wish to try doing more tbh, but I still have some fabric left, and no idea what to do with it

The other day a friend helped me figure out (by accident) that these moon plushies I've been seeing around online are by a company called JellyCat and. Yeah I've been seeing this (and the similar sun plushie) in a bunch of places. They are very very cute.

But also, not quite my style.

IDK I'd probably like them more if they were plain (no face, no feetsies). I'm just boring. Also I have my Plastic Anxiety (to be fair, the company's website does not label what their plushies are made of, so it is possible they could be plastic free), and the plushies are like 36€ each. Not obscenely expensive by any means, but you add like customs and shipping and suddenly the plushies I wasn't 100% into (just like... 60-70%) just don't seem worth it anymore.

Also I'm trying to do a No Buy Year so jdfhgdkhsg

But, it got me thinking. Could I make plushies from whatever scrap supplies I already have? And realistically, probably yeah! I have misc fabric, I have stuffing etc, I could probably sew some basic plushies that're more My Style! But also, as much as I do have that Plastic Anxiety, I do like soft, fluffy plushies, and just using basic fabric would be kinda sad, since it wouldn't have the fluff to it.

And this is where we get back to the aida cloth.

I started wondering if I could somehow make a fluffy fabric using some fluffy yarn and the aida cloth, like kinda tuft it by hand, and then sew together a custom, plastic free, fluffy plushie 🤔

Realistically, this would be an extremely tedious project, and the main kicker is, if I want a moon plushie, I would like it to be white, and I don't have thick-ish white yarn. And I'm trying to not buy any yarn until I've burned through my stash.

So that's one project I kinda really wanna do, but I don't have one (1) supply for it, so I can't.

On a semi-similar note, I kinda wanna redye my old black hoodies that have faded and then do embroidery on them, but alas. I don't have fabric dye, nor an old pot big enough to redye anything.

Also somehow that thought has also evoled into "what if I used my scrap black fabric and made a trench coat and then embroidered on it in white but tried to make it look like Mollymauk Tealeaf's coat". Which is. You know. Absurd and a project far too advanced for me lmao

Now. On Instagram the algorythm has been reccomending an account called AceofShades to me, where this lovely lady makes custom lamp shades. They are absolutely gorgeous.

And she makes it look so fucking easy, and fun.

And the thing is. I just happen to have this old, tiny lampshade frame with no fabric on it.

So it calls for me, like a siren.

Not gonna lie, I kinda tried to do the Step 1 of making a lamp shade which is just wrapping the frame of the lamp with a ribbon (so that you can later sew things directly onto the frame), because I just happened to find some basic white cotton ribbon in my mom's stash the other day. But, both to my dismay and fortune, I ran out, I only got like 2/3rds of the frame wrapped up.

Now indeed, I have a bunch of misc fabrics I could use to try to make this into a proper lampshade, but I do need not just more of that base ribbon to finish wrapping the frame, but I'd also need decorative ribbon to then later use on top of the lamp to finish it off and hide the seams.

Realistically I will probably give in and get those materials sooner or later (or, more specifically, the base ribbon just for now, because I wouldn't want to buy a buttload of the decorative ribbons when there's a possibility I could fuck up the sewing and end up not wanting to finish the lampshade), but like, I'm trying to tell myself Not To.

The thing is, we have this vintage... lamp/table thing. It's a lamp, attached to a table. The table is in pretty horrendous condition and needs to be refinished, but also the lampshade on it has ripped, so like. If I could do a convincing job on this tiny lampshade (as a practise round), I could see myseld refinishing that vintage table thing this summer, lampshade included.

Also there's like a million busted furniture pieces in this house that I need to work on but I can't until the weather gets nicer so

Not to jump in your inbox out of nowhere but fibre arts is my life and I cannot resist talking about yarn ever. A cowl would probably work up really nicely! And with 400yd you definitely have enough for a folded over cowl which is always nice. Alternatively, looking at the colour pattern/pooling, it looks like it'll have nice broad stripes if you do some thing with a smaller circumference like handwarmers/mittens. Either way I'd be really interested to see how it works up!

fellow fiber arts enjoyers always welcome!! yeah a cowl/shawl could be nice, ive been thinking about that although idk what i would do with it then 🤔

im not big on detail work like hand warmers/mittens (ironic bc i do detail work with amigurumi all the time) and i live in a desert but the color pooling is a great point... much to consider
