I crocheted a cardigan for the first time.

As per usual, I decided to complicate an essentially simple pattern (Henley style sleeves, crocheted in one piece from the neck down) by doing it in stripes (so, not *too* badly complicated... you would think). Unfortunately, I fell in love with the colors in one of those graduated yarn cake rolls, and the store only had two in stock, but I needed three (so I didn't end up with a crop-top cardi). So I found the closest color matches to those cake rolls colors I could find (close but you can definitely tell), and bought the two cake rolls, plus one skein each of the closest color matches.

(You're shaking your head at me. You are right to do so)

I started the pattern and almost immediately realized that the cake rolls would end up giving me uneven striping.

I persevered. I used the alternate colors when necessary. I started to hate the color variation, but it was about 2/3rds done. I put it away for a year.

And then two days ago I was starting to get sick and wanted something low-effort to crochet while hunkering down with an audio book. So I got it back out... and finished it.

Putting the cuffs on the sleeves was actually fun! I don't love the way the border meets the body, but I actually really like the colors I picked (still), and the variation doesn't bother me so much anymore.

It's not perfect, but it's warm and snuggly, and I've been wearing it for two days. My daughter wants me to make her one.

Success!

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreons for June! A cozy scene from Legends & Lattes (by @travis_baldree), featuring Viv and Tandri trying out Thimble's scrumptious Cinnamon Roll! If you missed it, reading this book for this SAW prompted me to make my own Cinnamon Rolls from scratch (for research, of course!) I have a highlight of these shenanigans on my Instagram. 😂 Are we excited for the Bookshops & Bonedust prequel? 🔥

Spirit Tracks swap ayoo✨️

I like to think that Link was part Lokomo, so he could have feasibly hosted Malladus if Zelda managed to get away. That's not to say Zelda's in the clear— Cole and Byrne are still actively looking for her— but Link will work as a temporary solution. At least until his body burns up.

Hope Zelda's good under pressure; she's on a bit of a time crunch.

Redraw of these from 2021!

Guess who only just now realized Gab’s red hoodie is probably an allusion to little red riding hood (was too distracted by the obvious Edward elric design parallels haha)
