wool scarf/shawl/wrap thing! used four colors of green wool, held double, and alternated colors one at a time to get the color change. really in love with the greens combined with the leaf buttons, it makes me feel like a hobbit lol :3 i don't really wear colors but i'm going to have to figure out how to style this because i am obsessed
Lovelovelove that skirt!! What is the flower(?) on there? The shawl/scarf/wrap is so cute too!! Agreeing on the buttons, those are perfect.
Wow everything here is super cute and inspires me to actually pick up my knitting again so that I can finish the shirt this decade.
I set myself a goal this year to finish the fiber arts projects I had had on the go for forever this year. So I started doing 30 minutes of yarn time everyday, and in January I finished knitting the scarf I started 10+ years ago, and the stole I'd started crocheting 7+ years ago. Now I've totally gotten the crocheting bug and my next project is a baby blanket! Scarf: Stole: Tester for my baby blanket, I'm so in love with the colour that I might hate giving it away XD
I can't post pictures from my browser, but I took up knitting again and have started a snuggie. On slow days, downtime at work sometimes spans the whole 12 hours, which offers plenty of yarn time. I forgot how fun it was.
My sister arranged a felting workshop for the family for christmas! It was super fun. First time for all of us, and we blew the teacher out of the water. She kept trying to make us simplify our projects and make them smaller and easier cause she thought that we'd be upset if we couldn't do it or couldn't finish by the end of the workshop. Joke's on her, we were all ecstatic and had such amazing and creative ideas <33 Took me a few more days of work to finish mine, but I am very happy with him. I named him Fergus, and made him in honour of the year of the wood dragon :D
Free Discworld cross stitch pattern! Going to be a present for dad for father's day. I'm going to add the little suns! (The original pattern leaves them out.)
at the fair, my sibling got me some silk to try spinning! I told them if they bought me some roving I'd spin it for them, and I was expecting some fun color of wool, but nope! surprise silk! XD so far going well, though it likes to separate. don't know if it'll make a good yarn, so idk what my sibling will do with it, but it's fun to work with! I've only spun a bit of wool before now.
I have joined Math Club at my college and we have craft nights periodically. The first one we crocheted hyperbolic planes! Spoiler: big images The second one looks done, right? It Is Not. Spoiler: lorge
Started a new clothing project! I got some lovely fabric from mum's bestie, a blue satin with woven in golden flowers, and a matching golden satin, so i'll make myself a waistcoat and depending on how fabric i got left, might go for an un-boned Trachtenmieder as well
All parts are seamed in, and pinning the inner lining together it all fits! Ignore the Leggings and Grinch socks
