I build little robots, casually crochet, and hyperfocus videogames.
Not a bad place to stop, since my replacement hook won't be here before ren faire. Crochet sunhat, made with Aunt Lydia's thread 🧶 on 2.0mm hook!
Well that's a new one. Glad I had a Clover on order. Got this KnitPro before I learned about their AI use and it has been a nightmare to use the whole time. Spun in the grip, slipping out, and now it *snaps*
We have shoulder seams and ties baby! Started hand sewing because there's no way I get a usable 1/4" seam allowance tie on my pos machine. Kept going bc the hand stitching is matching the ren faire vibe I imagined
I have been wanting this exact thing for about 8 years and I have been giggling over it all morning 🥳 Best birthday present ever!
The garden flowers are really shining while everything else is getting reset. This specific batch of nasturtiums are still my favorite!
THE BRIM IS BRIMMING! Just... like 20cm more to go 😅 Also new tension ring making me feel like a dinosaur while I *don't* friction cut myself with this thread
My tomatoes are taking forever but this mini pumpkin variety from last year's compost was ready to go 😂
I had a carrot harvest! Not too bad with squirrels editing my spacing last minute. Looking forward to round two!
Taking a break from my tightly-tensioned beige projects to start a slightly looser blanket using the same yarn and also starting with the beige stripe 😅 Was planning to do pale blue stripes but now I think I'll either throw all my stash colors at it or use up like 9 skeins of this white
Forgot to post this make, but absolutely loving it. I've been calling it our family's One Trip Bag after it solo'd an Aldi run with the kids.
Behold! A Great and Tremendous Harvest! I think this one I might just buy in the future 😂 But the shells fresh off the plant were some of the velvety-softest things I have ever touched, so would recommend
Only ~80,000 stitches left on the body 🙃 355 stitches per row, just under 12 rows per inch, aiming for 20" under sleeves
My first marigold bloomed! It just happened to be in the middle of a whole bunch of bush beans 😂
Modifying the pattern, since I want more of a cap sleeve and more mobility than a full raglan. But that also means I've officially split sleeves and I can just mindlessly knit the body now!
Last photo before frogging. Switching to the rectangle version of the pattern to simplify some of the changes I want to make to emphasize sunset motifs. Or maybe a different pattern altogether after I get some WIPs off my plate
Went out for an evening pea snack and found one on the nasturtiums! Eastern Common variety, I think?
My friend has so many gorgeous poppy flowers right now! Her garden is always such a delight to visit. This one especially caught my eye! I may need to take another crack at painting them soon...
Skipping some pattern rows to fit in more of the features I'm having fun with. Really loving this yarn!
Started making a sun hat, because I am apparently very bad at applying sunscreen 😅 It is tedious at this hook size, but it's looking like it will be nice and it uses up this crochet thread I've had stashed for ages
After years of secondhand rail fan exposure, I felt like I was meeting a celebrity today! Had a fun time seeing TWO Big Boy trains, and hopefully bought enough shirts to last the eldest a year or two
This pattern is such a fun place to go when I'm tiring of my plain stockinette knit t-shirt! Pattern is www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Think I found a good pattern for the sunset shawl I want to make, so it was time to bust out the hank! I love how this yarn from Sunset Fiber Co coned up! 🧶 is Bottomless Bellini colorway in Luxe Sock.
Ooh! I have something for #showmeyourknits! A series of knit blue and off-white shawls I did over winter, and a crochet shawl and bag from this spring.
