Honeymoon jumper!

I bought some great icelandic wool while we were there, so I could make myself a cozy souvenir.

Made based on this Bernat free pattern, with ribbing variation from Hitomi Shida's Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible

Pokemon skirt! I have been sitting on this fabric for like.... 2 years oops, but finally found motivation (and free time, and a pattern for woven fabric that worked)

Still plugging away on various WIPs but in the meantime thought Id throw up something from before I started this blog:

Winter/summer shoulder bags for me and a friend, using the granny square flower from Thoresby Cottage's Flower Clutch Bag

#crochet #from pattern #made by me #sunflower #seasonal #time warp #<- tag for retroactive posting of older projects

UPDATE

I've now caught up with myself and from here this'll just be continuing in the background while I (PLEASE) actually get some other projects finished

#crochet #made by me #WIP #book journal blanket #it already feels So Long since I actually finished something #Currently stalled projects include: shawl; mitts (1 of 2 done); cardigan; an improvised amigurumi and another blanket oops

New project!

Decided itd be fun and maybe interesting to make a book journal blanket(?) for the year, with each square being a book Ive read (/listened to) with different colours/patterns based on genre/setting.

Colours are purple for suspense/intrigue, green for action/adventure, yellow for horror, blue for mystery and red for romance.

Motifs are all from hooked by robin, circle to square for historical, sunburst for contemporary, c2c(not pictured) for scifi and puff post(also not pictured) for fantasy

#crochet #made by me #WIP #“genre” here is my personal feeling about the vibe rather than anything official #I'm only halfway through catching up with myself for january since it took me a while to find/adapt compatible granny square patterns #and even longer to Decide on a colour scheme 😅#book journal blanket

Leg warmers!

Gift for my partner bc he was jealous of mine. Diamond pattern and ribbing variation are from Hitomi Shida's Japanese Knitting Stich Bible, kind of reminded me of chainmail, hence the colour choice.

#made by me #knitting #didnt finsh them till After we got back from our iceland holiday oops #but will still be much appreciated on winter dog walks #black peeking through at the top is elastic aka the only way Ive found that reliably stops them falling down

Little Raphael Amigurumi using Ami Amour's Ninja Turtle pattern, last minute gift for a friend
