since i can't choose, i'm making you lot do it!

FINALLY finished making *human versions of the original ten care bears. I also went back to fix some of the designs I wasn't fully happy with and simplify them.

Moving on to the Cousins next, here's some concept sketches for them!!!

Below is some information about what I'm doing with this idea

What silly text should I weave into a tablet-woven letterband? My current thought is “unlimited breadsticks at olive garden”. I need something that is fun/funny enough for me to find worth keeping and not serious enough that I’ll be worried about making it actually look nice. This is for learning/practice, so I want something low-stakes.

So I have several projects in the works and I’m taking my time to meticulously craft each one to ensure the best quality upon release

For updates I’m thinking maybe giving status updates or updates on what point in process things are in

And maybe some sneak peaks into things

Also for a lot of these I’m venturing into different mediums such as making animations, music, and games

Additionally the projects will span across several fandoms and original content

Keep an eye out for further updates

For now have a lil’ doodle

I don't have enough of either on their own, sp they have to go together (I've got another ball of the grey too). I should also probably weigh what I have and compare it to the sweater I made out of the grey just to be sure, but that's tomorrow-me's problem.

I flipped through this book

And like this pattern

And started a swatch.

I tried out some two colour rib (uses less yarn than brioche rib) and some stripes (one row each colour which works fine in the round) and then started the pattern (and messed it up a little because one row each colour not in the round is finicky) and then got bored swatching so this is as far as I've gotten

That doesn't show the striped bits very well

Much better.

I don't hate the stripes as much as I thought I would. I actually like how they play in the lace.

I'm going to cast off the swatch and block it and then do some math.

The pattern will probably be based on EZ's saddle shoulder technique, just because I like how that fit. Likely stockinette at the yoke and then lace starting just above the bust.

Maybe.
