Made myself some cable knit leg warmers, I found the yarn at Krazy Binz on a $3 day, and the pattern is from Craft Passion (found through #ravelry search) #Handmade #Knitting #Cables #LegWarmers #KnitAccessories #KnitFashion #RandomlyTaylord https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLLan4OS0H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I tried out a #NewToMe knitting technique. It’s called steeking, where you knit a tube and cut it up. The instructions called for wool, but I’m more partial to acrylic and because I wanted a blanket, I wanted something economical. With the basic striping patterns it is just long enough to be a nice size for me to cuddle up under. Cutting it up was a bit more nerve wracking than it probably would have been with wool, but the stitches held up really well with this cheap acrylic, and hasn’t shown any signs of ripping out from the bound edges. I had some left over yarn and crocheted this cute #Amigurumi triceratops from a pattern called ‘Tanner the Triceratops’ by @TheNicoleChase that I found while searching Pinterest. I had just about enough yarn to get it done (and found some matching stash to complete it). I finished these projects a couple weeks ago, maybe about a week or so after my leg warmers, but I’ve been using the blanket for sleep and my youngest daughter, Bean had insisted on taking the Dino regardless of limb count, so it was a challenge to get it finished. #RandomlyTaylord #Knitting #Steeking #KidsToys #Crochet #WhichCraft #FibreArtist #Handmade #SelfishCrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGS0QSOrr1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finished this last week, finally got the buttons sewn on. Ready to go to its new home. The last photo is the proper colour of the sweater. It’s a solid black. I initially hated the black because it’s a little harder to follow the cables, but the end result is amazing. #radmerecardigan #knitting #handmade #randomlytaylord https://www.instagram.com/p/BoaMXhsFx1q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16mtszknqescz

I made these bags from the @shesgotthenotion Fat Quarter Travel Set tutorial. I modified a few things, like mine is mostly cotton (it’s a poly-fleece for batting) and quilted and has a pocket in the large mouth bag. I’m hoping these can be a part of my craft fair stash for my plans at the end of the year. #randomlytaylord #diy #handmade #quilted #travelset #fatquarters #shesgotthenotion

It’s been a while since I last posted, so I have a couple projects I’ve been working on. My last project if 2022 (the hoodie) and my first project of 2023 (the romper) The hoodie is a red and white is for my oldest and is made of a blend of yarns in a crochet moss stitch and single crochet ribbing. It was my first time doing a crochet rib this way, but I found it super fun, although it took me a few tries to get the tension right. I followed a YouTube tutorial by @accrochets For my youngest I made the baby romper. I knitted this one in scraps of blues and greens from an old Patons pattern book I have. The only change I made to the suit was I omitted the buttonholes and went for kam snaps instead. Both sweaters came from the yarn stash of their dad’s late grandmother which I inherited and tried to put to good use. #handmade #RandomlyTaylord #knitting #crochet #knit #BabyClothes #StashBuster https://www.instagram.com/p/CnpLkEzucV1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
