LIFS stitches

Honestly pulling beads off the strands to fill up my storage bin is so satisfying.

You would think with the way I watch this machine like a hawk it wouldn't have any dropped stitches and yet...

I breath and these suckers go ahead and just fling themselves out. Does anybody else have this issue or am I special in a bad way

Ignore the mess, but here are all the test hats, plus a crochet hat I had just finished and was showing my friend to complain. Thus far only the blue feels like butta yarn and the cotton yarn I make coasters and Crochet hats like in this picture with didn't work.

Yall not all yarns are created equal. Even if they're technically the same weight. Not every yarn is going to work in a knitting machine. My friend wanted it so I bought one to test and I'm going to buy her one for her birthday with yarn that I know works with it, hence this picture.

Didn't realize my light was broken because it's been a hot minute so here we are. Luckily the crappy little flashlight one kind of works so I could get my spots right most of the time.

I've never used resin or really wanted to before but I had a surprising amount of fun with the little mold and uv resin I picked up on impulse the other day. Maybe I'll play around with it once I move and have more space to try new things.

Instead of finishing the simple pattern I was nearly done with i did what I always do, started a new project. I dont think I've been without a wip since I was 16!

I regret not having more of these. I didnt think I would like them as much as I do!

My friend and I were going to open a shop much earlier in the year but orders kept getting canceled and it looked like it wasn't going to work. Come November and we decided that we might as well just dive in with what we have! So now we're just waiting for the legal stuff to clear and then we're going to open it and pray and call it good enough. We just needed to end the year accomplishing something! Might as well be something we've talked about since high school.
