Fresh off the needles: Antler Mittens by Tin Can Knits.

I made these using Homestead Tweed by Plymouth Yarn Company in shade burnt orange. This pattern was so much fun and so well written!

CRAFT NOTES 10/10

Greetings! I knit most of the second sleeve yesterday. I have 3 more inches and the cuff to knit today.

the dog wouldn’t move out of my spot until I gave her a treat so I used her cuteness to take pictures with first.

I'm brute-forcing my way through Tin Can Knits's pattern for mittens via magic loop method. Treating the process as a learning opportunity, rather than expecting Perfect Mittens is helping me relax, even when my tension isn't.

Sometimes I am gripped with a short term hyper fixation, usually for a craft project of some kind. For the duration, I can do nothing else with my spare time but frantically make whatever thing I’m obsessed. Then a little while later, the fixation passes and I have no interest in that thing for ages. I’ve had two of these hyperfixations in the past few weeks.

The first was hats! I knit up the same hat four and a half times before the hyperfixation ended. Fortunately gates are small projects so the fifth one will actually get finished relatively soon, just not in a single day like the rest of them.

Here’s the ones I made for my baby and my four year old:

I used the Beloved Bonnet pattern by Tin Can Knits. It’s a paid pattern but it’s well worth the money in my opinion. It’s a cute and quick knit and makes a lovely little hat, and comes in sizes from newborn to adult. I made a plain red one and a plain green one in the newborn size for two of my friends who are expecting babies in November. The blue one is the baby size for my baby, and the pink and purple one is the toddler size for my four year old, who is on the small side which is why I made toddler size. The fifth one, which is halfway done, I am making in child size for my six year old, in the colours requested by said six year old.

I do love a good craft project and these hats are delightful.

It’s the finished article! Used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy bind off for the cuffs (it’s very stretchy, surprisingly so) and russian bind off for the hem

Took just under 17 weeks to complete

Can’t catch these haaaaaands. Split for sleeves today and I am very obsessed with these seed stitch sleeves, they’re absolutely the cutest for a kid sweater

Day 8 - Finished Sweater

It's finished! While there are definitely some things I would change if I do this again (namely the sleeves) I'm very happy with the results. It's so warm and cozy, and I can't wait to wear it next weekend to an outdoor event we're going to! Hasn't been blocked, and may not be for some time as there's not really space for it to dry in our apartment.

I know a lot of people hc that Curt can't cook but I present you with my evidence on why he's the best cook out of every saf character:

Mrs. Mega raised him as a single mother during the great depression. That I'm pretty sure is canon.

This would mean she had to work a lot to keep them afloat

Which would lead to Curt having to be alone a lot as a kid

He tried to cook home alone, but nearly set the kitchen on fire multiple times

Mrs. Mega banned him from the kitchen and also couldn't teach him to cook, because she didn't have the time nor is she the best cook herself

Curt not liking being told to not do something started cooking a lot, both for himself and his mom

Over time he got good, like really good

(He started baking too although he wasn't as successful in that)

It went from cooking just to eat warm food everyday to a sort of thank you for his mom for doing so much

All in all he was quite the problem child getting bad grades, getting into fights etc so this was one of the few ways he felt he could make it up to her

Anytime Mrs. Mega saw her favourite food on the table when she got home she knew Curt fucked up big time

It became a sort of tradition for him to apologize by making dinner, even if he never gave a verbal apology or fully admitted to doing something wrong

this tradition carried over to his other relationships and other occasions

He makes dinner every time him and Owen can visit each other in their homes, He cooks soup every time someone he loves is sick, on missions where he can't make full meals he'll still find the time to make tea or coffee for Owen (He once tried to give Cynthia cookies. She nearly killed him, because she doesn't trust any food or drinks made by anyone but her... or Susan)

Anyways yeah I'm very passionate about this headcanon. This man will literally do anything but say how he feels

I've been making a sweater for my niece every year(ish) since she turned 2 😄 I love a sweater that makes a kid look like a grandpa

Craft Notes 10/8

Greetings! I knit a total of 7 inches into my first sleeve yesterday. I am hoping to at least double that today!

[passengerpigeons]

on track to get E-Fund and fun-fund savings back in track once we finish the move this month.... But perhaps I'll treat myself to nice simple earrings I've been eyeinf

[cutearose]

started knitting my first baby blanket today! sophie helped.

this is also my first cable project, and instead of finding a pre-existing cable blanket pattern, I decided to take a simple beginner blanket and just chuck a cable in there myself. honestly though I’m pretty happy with how its turning out!

Almost there, just binding off the ribbing and to weave in the tails. Apologies for the terrible light.

Love to see the chart for the new hat I'm working on and go, oh that's easy!!

...at least, compared to the nightmare mode chart I worked off for my last hat:
