Y'all!!! At long last I have completed my friends video game sweater! He said it was "absolutely kickass" which is nice.
This was my first time making clothes for someone other than myself and while there are obviously things I would improve on I'm still really happy with it.
Video game logo and "soon" as well as "true love is possible" on the sleeves are done in duplicate stitch.

For my own personal records, this is how I'm anchoring my yarn to do duplicate stitch in double knitting (which has no wrong side):

Based on this video.
It works OK but it makes that spot very thick, so it's harder to do the duplicate stitches when I get there.

Pokéball hat and mittens for my sibling’s Christmas gift!! My first time really doing duplicate stitch (it scares me) so I’m proud of how these turned out!
Pattern: Mitts are Point Edward Mitts by Fairlight Fibers, hat is Retro Beanie by Woolly Wormhead. I made the Pokéball additions myself
Yarn: Stylecraft Special DK in Cream, Black and Red

When working with mystery yarn sometimes you gotta acknowledge it was Not the Right Tool for The Job. Most of the time you’ll figure it out in the first few rows (or earlier if you’re one of those magical people that swatch) but if you’re like me, someone not too fussed with the particulars, who has genuinely never used the yarn specified in the pattern, sometimes you’ll figure it out rather….. late.
I thought I was ready to admit these socks were not fit for purpose when the first time I wore them I tore through the heels. They languished in the repair pile until I learnt how to darn and were relegated to bed socks and I chalked it up to a bad lot. I loved the colour of the yarn, and whilst it wasn’t exactly mystery yarn as it did have a label on the inside of the cone stating 75% acrylic 25% wool, my first big clue should have been that one can break it apart with one’s hands…. We live and learn.
AND YET.
Here I am darning another hole and putting in something akin to 20 lines of duplicate stitch because I am a sucker who can’t let something go and they’re starting to wear out. My bed socks. Are starting to wear out. And here I am repairing them yet again. Despite knowing this is a futile endeavour. Madness. I have learnt nothing.

"I knit you this rad vest!!"
"Wow!!! Thank u so much" (I just wanna hug)
the perfect gift for your gift-related-love-language, kinda toxic friend who doesn't understand that other love languages exist and takes it personally when you don't react the same way as them in gift giving/receiving scenarios, so you have to put on a face and pretend like you're getting the same fulfillment they are so they don't get mad or call you ungrateful even though you just wanna hug instead

Mended a hole in a knit cardigan!! This was using a stitch-replacement technique and then the duplicate stitch. The initial patch took forever but once I got the ball rolling I was able to do the decoration/extra strengthening in about 3 hours!
now tjme for the other one! Let's see if I can do it faster this time :3

Bishoujou Senshi Sailor Moon!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I LOVE Sailor Moon. I've loved it ever since I accidentally caught an episode early one Saturday morning in the mid 90's. When I first had the idea to begin Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts, this was one of the first designs I conceived of. With some judicious use of duplicate stitching, the design came together well and I figured I could do all the Senshi. All except.....
Tumblr media
That Brooch. That. Brooch. And so, I added clay to my fiber arts!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While not perfect, these are SUPER soft and comfy. I've got some prototypes in the works for the other Senshi, and in fact have produced some combination mitts already!

And of course, we respect true love in this house, and as such these two are also an item:
Tumblr media
I truly love making these, and would love to make you a pair! If you're interested, feel free to head over to Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts or ping me here. We can make amazing art together.

Learning how to do duplicate stitch in double knitting involves not only learning how to follow the path of the yarn (which I find bizarrely challenging), but also figuring out how to anchor the yarn when there is no wrong side.

I'll get it eventually. Anything is better than intarsia.

Using the Meow Mitt chart on a self drafted fingerless glove pattern. Doing the duplicate stitch with plötulopi is taking quite a while, but I like seeing the cat slowly develop!

ha HA! Duplicate stitch is pretty cool. I’m not sure I’ve actually done it before. Just the weaving-in-ends kind, that isn’t supposed to be visible.

Just finished the other commission I've been working on -- a knitted wool hat that a customer wanted to match one I made them a few months ago, but with a longer ribbed edge section!
