Blocking this doily was an experience! It took a little over three hours and a bit of my sanity. I’ve told myself I’ll never do this again, but I feel as if that might be a lie..

Photos of the doily are of it while being blocked. I totally forgot to get any pics after I took all the pins out. The finished size was 51 inches in diameter.

my sister saw my finished ingrid sweater and wants one too and I don't often knit full on garments for other ppl because getting the fit right is stressful but it's such a fun and relatively quick knit I might just do it for her bday

[ottersteaparty]

just pulled this shawl off the blocking mat!

super in love with it, the only thing i would change is that it’s a little smaller than i hoped. i think i should have used one needle size larger. for some reason i have trouble trusting that looser gauges will look right even though i love them when blocked and finished lmao

also this thing had like. a billion ends to weave in because each of those little points created 2 ends so it was a bit of a slog however i think the end result is worth it!

pattern link here!

The cowls I made for my mom and dad! The original pattern is Owl Nouveau from HuntHandKnits, and I changed it for my dad's to be a badger since he likes them a lot, my first time designing my own complicate colorwork!

Today's tea is one that Adagio doesn't seem to carry any more; which is unfortunate because this Green Assam is quite good! It's...a little closer to a black tea than most green teas are; brews as a green but tastes a little stronger and less grassy.

Today's knit is almost halfway through casting off! 23 leaves done and I think 27 to go if I am counting right. It's going to be quite a canopy when they're all done and blocked out, going by how much the one corner I pinned for this pic has stretched out!

today’s progress! I think it’s about one more day of knitting until I’m done this one :)

I never seem to talk about it anymore but I still make things! I have a ton of project photos that I'll be posting as I'm organizing my backups. This is an Iggy Peck sweater out of handspun polwarth, with needle-felted steeks.

this is one of my hardest jobs. I have been knitting this sweater for two months.🌹
