forgot to share this aaaa, my top scar vest (V1 ? maybe). this was one of those project ideas that inspired me to learn to knit. i wanted a way to have my tits out without having my tits out ig. i’m so proud of my scars and they are such a good visual metaphor for my journey and identity.

this was done in duplicate stitch on some cheap dk acrylic, but i’d really like to make one in a fingering yarn (and maybe intarsia) instead, and add stuff to the back panel.

Happy pride.

Worth noting this is pre-blocking; should be nice and oversized once washed and laid out.

I also picked the remaining colors for the sleeves! I wound them up already and have started both sleeves. I was hoping to weigh my minis and wind them into 2 equally sized cakes so I could do one sleeve, then the other, and still have them match each other, but my scale isn't accurate for grams AT ALL (telling me a 20 gr ball actually weighed 4.5 gr, be for real). So I've pivoted and broke out a second size 6 needle and am manually striping the yarn every 8 rows and pretending I'm not mad about the random leftovers. But. Look at the colors!

Seriously, look at that fade. I'm not ready.

There are plenty of decoy wasp nest patterns for crocheters, but hardly any for knitters. Well, I just changed that! 🐝🧶❤️
