Some sampling and testing for hemming a handmade shirt. The darker yellow rings is the winner, and I've got some matching seed beads to add in, see in last pic!
Bonus tape I've been working on in purple and green, too

There's this gorgeous crochet shorts pattern that I want to buy and make so badly rn. It's not expensive, and they look adorable, and I probably have yarn to make them with already.
BUT I am in the middle of crazy uni and placement, so haven't really got time to drop stuff and fixate on craft. I also can't work much ATM, so don't have much spending money.
If I buy the pattern now, I'll probs not be able to finish the project before my interests move on to something else. But I really wanna start (quick dopamine fix).
Help please, do I buy the pattern now or leave it for the next time I get obsessed (which is unpredictable)?
I don't have time for TdF this year (78hrs of placement to get in two weeks, let's go π« ). I'm watching along everyone's journeys, so many wonderful and exciting projects and plans!
I can manage only tiny bites of prep for these superfine merino locks I've been holding onto, for joy and self care. Hopefully next year I'll be in part of the tour proper π€

After months of pattern searching, brainstorming, colour choosing, swatch sampling, and excel charting, I have finally cast on a set of matching jumpers for me and my partner! π₯³
(and then frogged and reknit about 4 times coz the alternate colours showing as purl on the right side of the ribbing was not the vibe, and also I forgot 2 stitches in my cast on π€¦)
Pattern is TBC, I'll create it as I knit. Took inspiration patterns (like the Marella vest, and Adrenal Jumper), random inspiration cable photos or charts on Pinterest. I also want armpit gussets like a traditional Guernsey, coz they look neat as hell.
But please enjoy the bonus of my little doodled guide and random adjustment scribbles.
Mine is the purple main colour, with alternative main colour orange and supplementary alternate colour yellow.
Partner chose the main colour blue, and main alternate colour yellow and supplementary alternate colour orange.
All wool is from Bendigo Woollen Mills, rustic tweed and Luxury for alternate colours, all 8ply.
Pattern will be the same for both. Ideally fit will be well shaped to the body, small amount of positive ease but not loose.
This way they are the same and connect nicely with colours, but it's our own main colour π I've been working on this concept for over a year, I'm so excited and nervous to make them good.
(Bonus bonus, after dividing the alternate colours into 16 balls each, I'm storing them in bags to keep track of what belongs to each jumper π)
Now I know myself, I'll work in stops and starts, and will reach a point, decide I hate something about it, have to frog, and then put it down for a few months. Especially if I've made my neckline too high. So this will be finished when it's finished. But so so so happy to have made a start!!
The "Geoff" corriedale fleece is still a wip,but got a nice shoebox full of prepped locks for worsted spinning. Figured out the right set up for doing it inside, so it was thoroughly enjoyable with the tv on.
Jellybean utterly adores this specific fleece, I wish I knew what was special about it...
