My beautiful green sweater is all knit up!!!!

[cosycalamity]

LOOKNAT WHAT I DID!!!!!

my first ever completed knit project!!!!

i'm actually pretty happy with it! i wanted it a bit longer and wider in the torso but the sleeves are great!!

i was going for the loose stitch look but i didnt use big enough needles so it just kinda looks sloppy but j like that style too.

i've tried making a sweater before but the tight stitches just weren't my jam and i got bored of it lol (i have no idea where it is now... somewhere with all my other unfinished projects....)

ALSO ALSO!!!!!

its made entirely from my yarn stash!! half from yarn i was afraid of using too! (like the really nice stuff i dont wanna waste yknow?) and i decided to just use it finally and im SO happy with the final result!!!!

excited to start my next knit project soon!!!! (i'm addicted(

I realized that I’ve gifted 5 scarves now but have never made one for myself. So I decided to try cabling for the first time and make myself a scarf! Cables are actually so much simpler than I realized!

Also it seems I am drawn to this goldenrod color….

And just like that, buttons are on and my modified loupy studio cardigan is finished!

Pattern: Moonchild Top by raii

I had such a fun time making this! I love the striping of the yarn and it actually blocked out so well compared to fresh off the needle

The Wedding Dress

Update The 2nd - I debated putting this in the original post but honestly its getting way too long so new post!

I have blocked the skirt! And she was big, measuring about 1.95 - 2m in diameter:

Yes, that is hanging on the wall in my halfway - that was the only place I could leave her safely away from my toddler for the 3 days it took to dry. I'm am still working out a way of blocking the bodice and hanging the entire thing back up to dry without the weight of the skirt dragging everything down while it's damp. Most likely i'll stuff the skirt into a laundry bag and suspend it underneath somehow. Previously the skirt hit me right under the knee but post-blocking it sits low to mid-calf length:

I have yet to finish the underdress, it's happening, I'm just really not keen on cutting pattern pieces recently.

(Edit: for clarity - this is knit, not crochet :) )

Guess who just eloped and knit the dress for it! If you noticed I wasn't posting art for a while, that was why 😂 . Such a rewarding project and I'm super excited to share it 🤍

[monster-fuzz]

Merry Christmas- I've been meaning to do a quick video breakdown of "that dress", so here you go.

Queue has run out, so it’s reblogs for the time being!

+ I want to say a huge, huge thank you to everyone who is kind. I’ve been lucky to have had very few bad experiences since starting this blog, but in being so few, they do tend to stick with me. But overall this blog brings me a lot of joy and comfort, and to all of you who are so incredibly kind, I remember you and your words made a positive impact in my life.

Thank you for listening to what was supposed to be a one sentence blog update and turned into a cheesy thank you 😅 Here is a bonus little guy for your troubles. Everyone have a fantastic day and a happy pride month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Bggest quilt i've made so far!!! Machine pieced and hand quilted.

[creations-by-chaosfay]

Please share pics of your cat(s) interacting with a quilt. No other animals unless at least one cat is also present and interacting with a quilt, please. I miss my cats, and how much they liked to be involved.

This is Portia, who decided that the hoop of my mom's ongoing quilting project was the perfect spot to sit.

here’s our lovely lady sitting on one of my mom’s quilts!

My babies are so helpful

[rhodaperdition]

Nova (black cat) loves a quilt, but not as much as Sam (grey cat) who thinks “this is for me specifically” and needs to be involved in every part of the process.

[watermelon-shotput]

Miss Ginger decided the quilt pieces were the place to be.

Have a Relic (grey) on a comforter and a Shadow (mackerel) on a barely in frame quilt.

Beautiful Painted Staircases Inspired by Andean Textiles Transform the Hills of Lima, Peru

In the rolling hills of Lima, Peru, colorful murals coat the sloping staircases that forge paths through the city’s diverse neighborhoods. An effort to beautify and celebrate the cultural history of each district, the painted stairs form part of the city’s endeavor to recognize art as an essential part of community development. Peruvian artist Xomatok took part in this tremendous project, translating his artistic vision onto 13 stairways in the hilly footpaths of Alisos de Amauta.

In collaboration with local residents, the artist transformed the plain stairs of the neighborhood with geometric designs inspired by the vibrant motifs commonly found in handwoven Andean textiles, especially traditional shawls or blankets called llicllas.
