Took a year to complete this quilt! Pattern is by NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg called Cupola View. Fabrics used were also designed by Karen, the collection is called Earth Views.

Can someone please explain to me WHY no one can accept that I knit for pleasure?? Every time someone compliments me on my knitting they ask me if I've thought about selling it. NO GOD DAMMIIT NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A SIDE HUSTLE

It would take all the pleasure out of it.

Bring back people doing things for fun. Jesus.

Super fucked up that I can’t be a master-level expert in knitting AND woodworking AND silversmithing AND embroidery AND soap making AND spinning AND -

for when the tv knitting needs to be a shape, I have been referring back to this pdf for years for basic garter stuff. also handy when designing your own lace rot 😊

There are pieces I’ve hand knit that I’d value at over $1,500. While yes I made them for me, I wouldn’t make them again for anyone unless they were paying me $1,500!!

I need people to understand…that if you believe in paying people a livable hourly wage…most hand-knitted clothing should cost hundreds of dollars

So ever since the news Murtagh and Thorn were getting thier own book I’ve been morphing back into the feral 13 year old baby fangirl with her first book boyfriend.

Only this time, I’m 31 with the yarn skills to make a cardigan to snuggle in when I binge it! It’s so big and so cozy and 😍🥰. I am OBSESSED with it!

The cardigan was knit flat seamlessly from the bottom up with increases to make the wing silhouette. The fronts and back were worked separately with short row shoulder shaping and joined with Kitchener Stitch. Stitches were then picked up for the buttonband and sleeve cuffs.

The pattern is mine, but I haven’t released it because it’s only written in one size and not tech edited. I haven’t done much size grading but if there’s a lot of interest I’ll consider it! Yarn is Knit Picks Swish Bulky on US 10.5/6.5mm needles.

🫡 Lace knitters are a different breed and they low key terrify me.

Genuinely so ridiculously happy with how this turned out

Ahhh I haven't really been focusing on my spinning lately, and my other crafts don't really lend themselves to filming in the same way.

Nonetheless please enjoy a break from my regularly scheduled Invader Zim posting for a spinning video!
