too many WIPs

hi hello i thought i should make an art blog. updates infrequent and at my own whims! following from @pep-tides

[fossilknits]

hello!!!

tentative blog setup: https://trilobitethreads.wordpress.com/ nicer layout to come i swear!

tags:

#my projects - anything i'm working on! each project will also have its own tag

#knitting #cross stitch and the like for each type of project!

current projects:

#gay ass socks #ziprelaxagon #koi pond tee

i won't be consistently tagging/organizing reblogs because there's no way i will remember to do that, BUT if i reblog your post please know that i think it's so cool and you are an amazing artist (i don't always remember to add tags but if i reblog it that means i think it's absolutely fuckin sick!!)

a note on image IDs: i do my best to alt text my posts when i can! sometimes i just don't have the spoons, or i forget. it you'd like me to go back and ID any old posts, just shoot me a message!

First jumper is almost complete 😮‍💨

It’s been hard work learning lots of new things as I go. Only things I’ve made prior to this are a scarf and teddy bear jumpers (which are way easier without all the shaping needed for people clothes)

And of course I’d be near to finishing this just as we’re in a heatwave so I won’t even get to wear it 😭

hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.

It's warm... it's fashionable.... it's hot coo-ture!

i made a the pigeon sweater (by Michelle Tsai) for my friend! i've been wanting to make another top for ages, but I have way too many sweaters already, so when she mentioned seeing a sweater she really wanted it was like serendipity 🕊️

i'm so psyched with how this turned out; she lives over a thousand miles from me so i had nothing but some measurements, math, and a lot of faith that this would fit properly (and it does!! perfectly!!)

bonus picture of a little surprise I made, too :o)

i have a post queued about the purse itself, but since I had so much yarn left over I just had to throw in a little something extra.

Matcha themed kitten catch mittens are finally done!! Not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of these 🤍💚

I even knitted a gauge swatch on 2mm needles to adapt the pattern to a baby version. It was torture. Be proud of me.

I did it, I managed to get the penultimate section set up so I can attach it to the mother ship. Got quite a bit sewn while watching the game tonight. Daughter commented that it is going to be fun getting all the papers out. Not to worry love, I have a plan. It was really warm under that huge quilt.
