Another happy customer. She’s only two coos tall 😭 🐄

Six diamonds done and two to go!

I did decide that the white would go in the center. I made the decision as a way to symbolize the importance of our trans elders, who were often at the forefront of fighting for our rights. It also shows that we can never be excluded from our community.

The last four sets are donneeeeeee (I think I’d completely run out mid way on the last set. No biggie. Rather that than have leftovers on a scrafghan!)

Taking a short break then I gotta square up to the sewing.

My pillow that I wove! Hashtag my pillow!

We have achieved full rowage!

Now for the columns. Not sure I’m going to make a whole 5 columns with my next colours, but by the gods we’re going to try…!

[cottonkhaleesi]

Ok it’s visually a mess right now but the penultimate 5 columns are done which means just four more in the last colourway to go with ever diminishing returns…..

I will not complain when it comes to sewing everything together. I will not.

Catherine Cat has come for a visit wearing her summer liberty dress 👗

Back and front panels now done, gotta remind myself of the shoulder shaping, arms are definitely going to be interesting with the amount I got left….

It was Hot today even by my lizard-sun-loving standards, so I couldn’t work on the Aran cardigan, couldn’t finish the socks (dun fucked up the sizing by listening to my ma) so I started a new thing.

Bargello DK scrap blanket. Surprisingly quick to crochet but I had to do some visual math because the pattern is for worsted and I think I’m going to have to play around with colours to stretch my supplies.

1/3 in this colourway:

[cottonkhaleesi]

3/3 in this colourway.

I’m hoping that I might be able to eke out 18 more if I switch the colours around then that’ll be all my rows done and I’ll reevaluate for the columns.

(What’s left of this colourway; suggested following colourway)

[cottonkhaleesi]

Oof, another row complete and whilst the blue didn’t even last me the nine, the silver lasted me about 14 but I don’t currently have a backup for the rest (5) of row 5…. also pretty sure what green I’ve got wont last either but whatever; that’s the beauty of a scrafghan…. It’s never supposed to be perfect and coherent. With a scrafghan nobody will ever notice that you lost yarn chicken really fucking badly.

Still no clue how I’m going to tie it all together cohesively when I get to the verticals….

Some of the fun things I've made with river stones. Crochet & bead crochet, embroidery: laidwork, canvaswork, felt, wire, silk, cotton, wool, bead embroidery... All sorts of fancy jackets for humble stones.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

I made a quilt top. Much of it doesn't line up and my corners don't match but the good thing about making art is that it is made.

Despite me rushing through my largest quilt I've made thus far, it will still keep me warm. It will bring some color into my room and it will keep my dogs paws and her many hairs off my pillows and soft blanket.

Even though everything not lining up on this one left me feeling a little annoyed with my quilting progress, I still decided to pick a really pretty fabric for the back. A bit of redemption maybe.

I'm hoping I have enough scraps from this one to piece a very colorful strip for the binding. We'll see, it's a big quilt. Queen sized.
