Finished the second holiday present today: knitted infinity scarf for my boyfriend. I knitted two panels, sowed those together along the long side and then sewed the short ends onto each other to create effectively a big circle with a distinct inside and outside. Happy with how it turned out, but also really really happy that I got it finished on time.

Me: has about 3 yarns in sweater quantity and about 3500 g more yarn in variouse colours and weights, as well as 4 already started projects

Also me, after rewatching Practical Magic: must make the Gillian hangover sweater! Must buy yarn for it! Have to design it based of of 15 screenshots I took while watching the movie! No one can stop me!

Brought the Eternal WIP/End of the Yarn Rug 2 out to play and she’s getting a decent size however The Math remains…. Not Mathing folks…. do I care all that much? Not really as we’re mostly ok except from the one bastard wrinkle which is just going to have to become a pleat next round. Hazards of winging it!

I do love how I can use this to chart all the things I’ve worked on in the past: here’s the leftovers from my colleague’s Halloween witch back when I worked in the fabric store, there’s the sparkly red leftovers from mountains of charity poppies, here’s the weaving frenzy that led to Too Many Scarves, there’s the last bits of tinsel yarn I was given as a gift that I’ve been using as Christmas twine (because I won’t sully myself with it anywhere else) all becoming one tapestry of the last four years of my life, still currently as tiny rug status.

She is becoming too big for her box though….

Another knitting project woo-hoo!! ＼（＾０＾）ノ

I actually made this back in February and just forgot to share whoops '^-^> but here I am! Showing off my first *real* attempt at colour work :3 and I must say I'm pretty pleased with it. I used this Purl Soho pattern as my base and while I didn't quite get it right, I'm still happy with the end result so I call it a win ^-^

I was going for asexual pride but I kinda just ended up with mold pride. The fluff was more overpowering than I originally envisioned lol.

Go my spores 🍄

Indescribably proud of this eyeball pillow I made for my partner. The white yarn has iridescent threading, but it didn't show up in the picture so just take my word for it. 🧿👀👁️👁️‍🗨️

Did it correctly this time. I figured out what I did wrong originally: I read the pattern wrong.

Trying to use up my yarn stash by making bags to replace wrapping paper and I finally finished the first one.

[cedigcrafts]

I've got a lot of sockweight, DK, and chunky yarns - but this is super chunky, and I have no idea what to make with it - anyone got any suggestions??

I'm working on sorting through my yarn stash so I can make a start on using it up rather than just having a lot of boxes around the house with random balls of yarn in.

Next year, I am on a strict yarn diet - unless I'm buying yarn for a commission, I am not going to buy any more yarn until my stash fits into one box.

Finished the first skein! I guess that it was technically more half a skein. Currently knitted 34.5/120 needed “block rows”. I have two more full skeins left so that should be more than enough to finish this outside of the scarf.

Made these six fat chickens today to finish off an off-white skein of yarn. Now I just gotta make lil babies for them 🥰🥰

Tomorrow I’m gonna try making a few swatches to perfect a grucifix in mosaic crochet form. I REALLY wanted to finish off a few skeins today to break into my yarn stash some more, so with that goal done, I’m gonna get going on a crap ton of Ghost stuff 🤘😈

(Also I have about 20 of these chunky ladies now.)

So I'm working on a test swatch/color test for a sweater and while working on it I've realized that it would be easier for me to knit if I used circular needles so I check my collection of needles and confirmed that the reason I started using these straight needles was because I don't actually own any size 5 circular needles.

I technically have a gift card for Michael's I could order one, but I don't think they carry what I need from a company I want to buy from (Most of my collection was purchased secondhand, and if I buy new I want to make sure it's something I'll love and use and keep for decades)
