My first completed crochet project (second started) from 2024. Made out of envy for my friend’s very cylindrical caterpillar. He is a long hexagon stuffed with cut up t-shirts.

Wips and a cute scarf I never posted.

Finishing few things but enjoying what I’m working on.

(Square pattern- very fun to keep in a bag while traveling! The changing colors and rotating work keep me engaged, and they are so fun to stack up as you go.)

Some passport cases! Very pleased with these.

Little dice bag with a finger-loop cord that I learned from this fabulous person!

First lace and first cable-work project! This pattern. Really fun time.

Almost certainly the wrong kind of yarn for stitch definition (felted, hairy) but I loved the color and felt stubborn.

Got a set of blocking mats for the first time and celebrated by decorating the case with some favorite patches. Bottom two are my designs, the mustard one I found, and the rest were made by my wonderful friends.

Tidied and thinned my wips/mending basket. It’s still too much but at least it’s pretty on top.

#I want it to be low enough that I can see the pretty lining I sewed for it #the first real thing I finished is in there and I used this poor mustard yarn that’s just fallen apart #it was breaking even as I used it. and it’s been gently returned to me by the knee so many times for mends #I gotta just replace the panels or something at this point #knitting wip #knitting #fiber art

Returned to adjust this needle case I made a few years ago fit. I love all the colors in this brown wool.

[image ids: different angles of a brown wool case for knitting needles, the inside stitched with channels in a bright red wool. The ridges are tight enough to Sno through the reverse side. The whole closes with a strap that wraps around to a button. End ID]

Melt the ice hat! Gonna make another, I like this.

Only a $5 pattern and all proceeds go to immigrant aid agencies helping people impacted by ICE.

This was so fun to make. Wanted it to feel a little like winter woods. Sooo thrilled that it fits the head it was intended for.

Knitted water bottle holders for friends! My first lace pattern and first time properly learning kitchener stitch. A real fun time. This pattern but with an added crochet edge.

Blanket!! For my buddy Storm!! Started this in June, and as of December this wonky non -rectangular beast is complete. I love it very much. It has the weight and stiffness of a rug. Granny square pattern here.

Made some lil hanging wall baskets with this pattern. Needed something for my compression gloves to live in, and a little one for my car keys. Close up of the medium sized basket, in a variegated green, blue and purple yarn, being held in front of a floor with a dog in the background.
