I don’t quite have the words, but here they are anyway. We all know the last few days have been a particularly awful dumpster fire, so I want to make a few things clear. ⁣ ⁣ Fellow white people: If you think “people looting a target&rdquo
I finished another @junebuganddarlin cross stitch! This one took me a while because I kept putting it down and forgetting about it, but luckily for me cross-stitching doesn’t bother my wrist as much, so it was a nice “break” from kn
I’m days late to #aceandjigappreciationsunday but I wanted to appreciate @clerestories for always inspiring me to make so many things. I finally pulled out my #aceandjig scraps and started making half-square triangles to eventually make a quilt
I took this picture a couple weeks ago, but I’m still laughing at how comically tiny these needles are. ⁣ ⁣ I initially thought I would knit this laceweight from @blackcatcustomyarn marled together with a black and white colorway, but when I sw
For a really long time, I didn’t think too deeply about the clothes I bought to cover my meat sack. Sure, I had somewhat of a style and there were things I liked to wear, but there would always be compromises - too tight here, too baggy there,
Pandemic, but make it fashion? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s #MeMadeMay, and while I want to participate this year I have also been living in the same pair of leggings for the last two months. So I’m making a deal with myself: I want to stretch my clothes-w
Finished my April #socksquad socks with many days to spare! Even though time has lost all meaning, at least I can still figure out what month it is 🤣 This color was the perfect bright thing to look at during this weird, weird time. The pattern look
These are, hands down, the best colors I’ve ever knit together in a shawl. I’ve been joking in my stories about being obsessed with knitting this shawl, and it only took me 2.5 weeks to knit it so I guess I was right? Of course, #quarantk
Taking pleasure in the small things, like the way my new ring from @olazabalfinery looks against my knitting 🥰⁣ ⁣ Pattern is the #LizzieShawl by @sosuknits using @treliz_colorispower. Have I mentioned lately that I’m obsessed with this project
March socks are finished! I’m really glad I didn’t have to knit these on the bus, because two-at-a-time two-color brioche socks are not for the faint of heart. This pattern is @lavanyapatricella’s Brioche Toe Up Socks, and they were
It’s happening: I got an drop spindle and a bunch of roving, and I’m learning how to spin! I’m pretty sure I’m doing about 60% of it wrong, but I’m having fun so far and that’s what counts. Someday I’ll get
I finished my #BronteSisterShawl by @lostandfawned and I have heart eyes for every part of this pattern 😍⁣ ⁣ I used three colors of @wraybot’s Little Women series (Louisa, Beth, and Marmee) and I really love the way they worked together. I thi
Made another Estuary Skirt / couldn’t figure out which picture to use 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ I used a mystery probably-wool or wool blend from my grandmother’s fabric stash. I’ve been in a bit of a sewing rut the last few months, so it was
Finished my February socks with a day to spare! This MCN by @thefarmersdaughterfibers was dying to be made into something more delicate, so I made the Winter Rose socks by @curioushandmade and am really pleased with the way they turned out. Now to go
Is there truly anything better than a handmade sock peeking out of a boot, on the first day of a three-day weekend?⁣ ⁣ [Image description: Jane’s foot is sitting crossed on her leg, showing off the sliver of bright pink hand knit sock between g
I bounced around projects this weekend, but finally got a good start on my #BronteSistersShawl by @lostandfawned. I’m using three of @wraybot’s Little Women colors (Beth, Louisa, and Marmee) and am very happy with it so far. I also wrote
