Every year for their birthday I let my kids pick whatever they want for me to make, no limits. This year my oldest is turning 7 and asked for a new rainbow sweater to replace the one he outgrew, and also that his bestie Bubbles the (Stuffed) Robot have his own matching sweater. I couldn’t find buttons I liked in the right size, so I designed and 3D printed some, which turned out to be perfect because then I could also print tiny versions for the little sweater.
So here is Bubbles modeling his brand-new sweater, and the big kid version which will be gifted tomorrow ☺️.
finally finished my little experiment vest! the first pattern i've designed for knit inspired by cannibalistic love stories + romans proposal to gerri in s2e8 of succession .... a v self indulgent project rly hehe, anyway i rly like the result but i'm excited to make variations already!
so i have been using this pocket binder to keep my fixed circular needles organized for a little while and decided to get another for all my cords for my interchangeable sets as well and i must say it’s a great way to stay organized. all i need to do now is break out my label maker!!!
Someone posted a picture of Charlotte Stone’s lavender sock pattern here on tumblr a few years ago, and I remember thinking they were so so pretty that I wanted to learn how to knit too!
so i got the pattern, picked out three colors of yarn, some needles, and sat down to make these and I ended up making an impressive MESS. Its taken a few years but my skills finally felt up to snuff enough to try the socks and I am SO happy with how they came out :3
Managed to get some knits done for the baby shower today. They’re pretty eclectic, and I wonder about the sizing on some of these, but I had fun making them and I think my friend will appreciate the thought at the very least. I know they’ve been looking at hand made baby wear online and been disappointed by the cost. At least I can help them there and de-stash half used skeins.
Also you can find me on tiktok where I am currently sharing videos about reorganizing my sewing room. Once that is finished then more long format content to come.
