My first wearable, update 3

I'm slowly making progress on my coat. I'm working in short rows which is a little hard for me personally, and i keep forgetting which way i insert the needle in the horizontal bar for m1r, m1l, m1pl, and m1pr. I keep having to go back to some short videos to tell which is which and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right because it's chenille and it doesn't have a lot of stitch definition. I guess I'll see.

I read a quote that says: each mistake is just an advanced technique you didn't mean to use.

I keep reminding myself that every time i make a mistake and trust me there's a lot in this so far. It's mostly with picking up the wraps when i wrap and turn. I've had to start marking my wrapped stitches so i know which one has a wrap that needs to be picked up.

I'm a big girl and this star panel is using a lot of my black and white. It works up so fast that I'm about to run up against a brick wall... so i started another project.

I'm making a long jacket.

It's this one on Ravelry. It's a gorgeous jacket with a hood. I do not have enough for this either, but knitting takes me a lot longer to do, so I'm not rushing to get more yarn right now.

Currently crocheting a star sweater following this pattern. I've been working on it off and on for a while. It's a quick work up, but i get distracted easily and go through phases of hyperfocus and then complete disinterest. It's so hard to actually finish projects. 😫

Spinning tussah silk update 2.

Something I'm starting to notice is that silk singles aren't squishy like the wool. They're very dense and firm.
