What a difference! You know how you always end up throwing one poor biscuit together with all the scraps from the others? This is my most perfect biscuit from a batch next to the last one. Don't worry tho, they were both delicious 😝 http://ift.tt/2yyVRMQ

A friend recently asked me for a cool cross-stitch commission project! But I know I shouldn't start it until I finish up this WIP from last winter... . . . . #thread #needlework #crossstitch #evergreen #christmas #cats http://ift.tt/2xfiswI

What a difference blocking can make! The top left is this lace-weight shawl before being blocked, and the bottom left is afterward. The whole shawl is much larger and all the lace is so much better defined, especially the edge points. . . . . . . #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knit #lace #laceweight #ashtonshawlette #cascadeyarns #blocking #beforeandafter #diy #imadethis #yarn #crimson #cat http://ift.tt/2vKSqBr

One movie's worth of knitting! Although this pattern is tricky so I keep stopping to re-count rows. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was excellent tho! #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knit #shawl #melanieberg #mykryptonite #orchid #grey #wip #diy #progress http://ift.tt/2vvwKZC

Successfully shortened my skirt! I used the incredibly cool overcasting foot on my machine so hemming the lining was super easy and took about 5 minites! (I have to think about the lining so I don't remember the awful curved hem 😱😂). #sewing #diy #overcast #hem #floral #skirt #needlework #circleskirt #knittersofinstagram http://ift.tt/2h4RJfZ

Hemming a floor-length skirt to knee-length. Curved hems are my new least favorite thing ever! #sewing #needlework #hem #circleskirt #floralprint #diy #tailoring http://ift.tt/2tERtGv

Starting a new shawl, loving these orchid and grey colors 😍! The yarn is gorgeous local Alpha B Yarn I bought at my last trip to @knitpurlpdx and it's soo soft. The pattern is My Cryptonite, my second pattern by @mairlynd. I loved her Spice Market shawl pattern so decided to make another! #yarn #knitting #knittersofinstagram #melanieberg #alphabyarn #babyalpaca #fiberart #stripes #knitpurlpdx http://ift.tt/2tXInE6
