The eternal maker's debate... #knitting #knitsky

Kermit meme with one kermit saying "I need to finish some WIPs before starting a new one" and the hooded Kermit saying "It's just a tiny project; one more WIP won't hurt"

Keep making art. Despite the horrors, make art. #cross-stitch #stitchsky #craftivism

A small cross-stitch project in a wooden hoop sits on grey fabric. The project has red script that reads, "Quand les pauvres n'auront plus rien à manger, ils mangeront les riches", a quote attributed to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Two small silver sword pendants are attached vertically along either side of the text.

Every surface in our kitchen will look like this in approximately 3 days:

A table full of a variety of bright, non-matching teacups and saucers.

Leshy, Day 12! After a few days off, I finished stitching the best forest buddy. One more to add to my stack of finished but not yet washed/ironed/framed projects. A promise to myself: I'm get my gallery wall up soon! #stitchsky #crossstitch

A finished cross-stitch project depicting a deer-skull wearing tree-like man called Leshy. He has moss covered antlers and beard and is carrying a large staff. The figure is framed by a black frame that merges into skeletal trees and a crescent moon. The bottom reads "Guardian of the woods." It is stitched on tan aida cloth.

Another Koinobori pouch off the needles! I made this one a bit larger and added little goldfish beads to the drawstrings. #knitsky #knitting

A blue knit drawstring pouch shaped like a fish. It has white scales, orange eyes, and small goldfish beads at the ends of the ties. The opening of the pouch is closed.

thecryptidnextdoor@thecryptidnextdoor· Apr 2

I wanted to finish this by yesterday for TDOV, but it's okay. I'm still just as trans nonbinary and visible today as yesterday! The lovely pattern is by @badstitch.bsky.social. I added backstitching due to the fabric color, but come on, I HAD to use this one! #stitchsky #crossstitch #tdov

A completed cross-stitch in the shape of a butterfly. The butterfly is in the trans pride flag colors (pink, white, and blue).

This was such a fun knit. I must knit a whole school of fish pouches now! (I haven't washed/blocked it; l was too excited!) #stitchsky #knitsky #knitting

A knit orange drawstring pouch shaped like a goldfish. It has lines of white scales and blue eyes. The drawstring are pulled right to close the mouth/opening of the pouch.

I'm taking a brief break from working on Leshy. I got distracted by a new knitting project and you know how it goes. When the fiber gods tell you to knit a fish, you just gotta go knit a fish... (pattern is the Koinobori Pouch by Dhiany Nanda). #stitchsky #knitsky #wip

Photo shows an small knit orange-colored pouch that is not fully completed. It has a bottom that flares into a fin shape. The bag is orange and looks like a Goldfish cracker. An orange ball of yarn with a label reading "Friends Cotton 8/4 100% cotton" is next to the bag.

Leshy, Day 11. I'm getting closer to the finish line! One more tree and a moon 'til I'm done the eldritch lad! #stitchsky #crossstitch #wip

A work in progress cross-stitch project on tan aida cloth. An intricate black frame of arching trees, decorated with symbols and the words "Guardian of the woods," surrounds a tree-like figure in shades of brown and black holding a gnarled wooden staff. The figure's head is a deer skull with a mossy beard and large, moss-covered antlers. A small brown bird and mushrooms are stitched on the bottom. The hoop has been moved up so it covers part of the body and allows for stitching on the top of the fabric.

Leshy, Day 10! Today I finished the man himself in all his moss-bedecked glory, and got to move the hoop. Only the framing tree boughs left! #crossstitch #stitchsky #wip
