I ran out of brown fabric when cutting out the pieces for the oars. I swear, I only needed 5 sq inches, meaning I had to pause progress until I had time to run to the same fabric store where I originally bought it. While I was at it, I also bought the perfect backing fabric :D After that, I was off to the races! I figured out placement, sewed them into columns, added spacing strips out of my bg fabric, and then began the painstaking process of removing the foundation paper backing with my trusty tweezers. I think that alone took 5 hours...
My last step was cutting and sewing the borders, and I was done! I plan on taking it to a local longarm quilter to finish it off. This is my very first completed quilt top, so I hope it goes well!
Hi, stranger 🖖🏾 [update part 1]
I realized there is a long time I don't post stuff in here and it doesn't necessarily means that I stopped crochet, so here is a major update of everything I did since April (last post). I'm doing this now so I can just go ahead of it and post the future things instead of be always "nah, i need to post in order to follow my progress" and then never post again, again. Starting with the three projects that were on the list in the pinned post:
The pink summer vest, which is my favorite piece to date. It was made with a fine thread, Clea Duplo from the Brazilian brand Círculo, and although it took a LONG time, I loved the result and want to buy more of this yarn to make other wearable pieces.
I finished it at the end of March.
After that, I made two orange sweaters, one for me and one for my beloved. They are identical and took a lot of work. I tried to follow a pattern, but it was poorly written, and in the end, I had to follow my intuition. I made mine first and then made their, but even my intuition wasn't good enought for how I wanted it to be. It's wearable, but quite problematic. It's difficult to take off, and the cuffs are tight, so you can't pull it up, plus it takes up a lot of space when folded. The good thing is that it's VERY warm.
I started at the beginning of April and finished the second one in mid-May.
My friend's mermaid top. It was supposed to be a birthday present, but it took me a while to finish it because I ran out of yarn halfway through and it took me a long time to find the same one again. Besides that, it was a Frankenstein-like project: I took the bust from one tutorial, the body from another, the sleeves from a third, and the back from a fourth, because I couldn't find anything that was exactly what I wanted to give her. It took me so long that she ended up losing weight and the top became loose, so she improvised a way to wear it.
She allowed me to post this photo and said I didn't need to blur her face.
What these three projects taught me was that patience is truly a gift. And that crocheting for someone has to be for someone you love, because it takes a lot of work and a lot of time. It's not just the piece itself, it's the care taken in choosing the material, the design, spending days making it and thinking about the person, what they will think, if it will fit or not.
I haven't been able to see my love wearing their sweater yet, because where they live it's not cold enough for that and they're not as sensitive to the cold as I am, but I hope to see it soon. My friend went to the beach wearing the top and I felt very proud of myself when she showed me the photos, and also very happy because she liked it enough to wear something I made with my own hands in public. In the next post I'm going to show the rest of the pieces I made between these three pieces and after finish them.
Tear Jacquard, amostras de tecido, máquina de perfuração de cartões Jacquard e cartões perfurados que vi na Ecolã.
Jacquard loom, fabric samples, Jacquard card punching machine and punched cards I saw at Ecolã.
I am finally done with all the pieces of the Seawaves sweater! Now for the sewing. I made the initial ribbing in the round so thankfully I have one less seam to deal with, but the little swirlies take forever.
Finally got round to posting this! Unblocked, because I am lazy as fuck. Behold, the (mostly) finished Seawaves jumper!
Tecidos de lã que vi em visitas recentes à Covilhã e a Manteigas. Na Covilhã, visitámos o Museu de Lanifícios e A Transformadora e em Manteigas, fomos ver a Ecolã e a Burel Factory.
Wool fabrics I saw on recent visits to Covilhã and Manteigas. In Covilhã, we visited the Wool Museum and A Transformadora, and in Manteigas, we dropped by Ecolã and Burel Factory.
Andei desmotivada uns mesinhos devido a um pequeno desentendimento com um projeto, mas no outro dia fui fazer uma visita aos meus favoritos no Pinterest a ver se me dava vontade de tricotar alguma coisa. Nisso, lembrei-me que desde que fiz uma meia da concha (abaixo) do "Malhas Portuguesas" tinha ficado de explorar mais o mundo das meias tradicionais portuguesas.
I was unmotivated for a few months due to a little disagreement with a project, but the other day I paid my Pinterest favourites a visit to see if I felt like knitting anything out of there. As I scrolled, I was reminded that ever since I knitted a concha sock (below) from "Portuguese Knitting" I'd been wanting to further explore the world of traditional Portuguese socks.
I found a Granny Square card deck in a second hand store and I’ve been crocheting one a day.
Most of them are perfectly normal and easy to follow if you know the various crochet symbols but what the actual fuck is the card on the right?!
Look at this! Why does it have ghost stitches!?!
Is this a misprint or am I just not advanced enough to understand this?! Fellow crochet’ers help!?
It’s supposed to look like this btw (on the right)
Having fun quilting this one :)
Three more pieces that felt right in the foggy morning.
Stitches, and paper, and frayed edges.

My piece for Giant Robot Gallery’s Doggo Show. The show opens March 30 and runs until April 13. I LOVE how this guy turned out! Thank you Cassia Lupo for the invite!

Little embroideries of little things.
About this time four years ago I finished weaving this tapestry. I made it into a cushion, but.
But looking at these images, I realise how much I love the edges of the thing, and they are all hidden now.
(I get very obsessy about edges.)
over the summer i knit my first sweater! the pattern is the storm sweater by petiteknit, and i used sandnes garn double sunday (colourway 8082)
