string wizardry

Behold! My first foray into colorwork! I have this really neat sweater saved and Someone™️ said "hey maybe try something less loadbearing first" so Someone™️ got some coasters about it.

It was fun! I used a doodle book my mom had and smashed some designs together as it suggested and kind of want to make my own designs. After all, it's just pixel art.

First jumper is almost complete 😮‍💨

It’s been hard work learning lots of new things as I go. Only things I’ve made prior to this are a scarf and teddy bear jumpers (which are way easier without all the shaping needed for people clothes)

I'm knitting a Shetland hap!

This was cast on sometime in February I think, so now 4-5 months progress.

The blue was gifted to me, and the white was bought to match. The green I bought as a white and dyed, and it's my favourite part.

The stripey waves are *chefs kiss* , and it's 2 rows away from starting the border!

It's warm... it's fashionable.... it's hot coo-ture!

i made a the pigeon sweater (by Michelle Tsai) for my friend! i've been wanting to make another top for ages, but I have way too many sweaters already, so when she mentioned seeing a sweater she really wanted it was like serendipity 🕊️

i'm so psyched with how this turned out; she lives over a thousand miles from me so i had nothing but some measurements, math, and a lot of faith that this would fit properly (and it does!! perfectly!!)

It’s been a while since I shared a crafting post. It’s been hard to get back to some projects thanks to my class & professional work load, but we’re in summer and that’s all less now.

I’m going to need to frog this dark lace panel and start over, somewhere I’m missing a stitch super early on. The white yarn is the afterthought lifeline I’ve run through the last row of the beige. This pattern is the Understory Wrap by Lindsey Fowler.
