Finally got around to taking pics of this beanie! 

Based on this pattern for a Bird’s Eye Cowl

It’s sweater weather! 

I finished this a few months ago but never managed to take pics! It’s finally cold enough so I’ve been wearing it three days straight ‘cause why not?

When I first decided to knit a sweater I tried to look up a pattern, but as always, couldn’t find one I liked. So I ended up designing it myself like I usually do. Deciding on the cables took me forever, I have so many notebook pages full of different ideas and I tried knitting 4 or 5 different combinations and finally ended up with this one, and I gotta say I’m really happy with it!

The sweater itself is pretty simple, just a rectangle with a few decreases for the sleeve opening. The sleeves took me a few tries but I managed to make them work. They’re a bit weird looking but I think they’ll get better as I wear it more and the yarn softens. The sleeves and back are just double seed stitch/double moss stitch. 

It’s not perfect, but I’d say it’s pretty nice considering it’s my first ever sweater!

The yarn is Hjertegarn’s Lima, colour 710, 100% wool

Got some really good paper from work and had to try something! Haven't painted in so long, feels good to get back into it

Finally finished this pair! I really liked the ones I made a while back and wanted a similar pair for myself too!

Embroidery wip

Honeycomb shrink plastic necklace I made this week! 

Used clear shrink plastic, punched some holes in it and added embroidery thread after shrinking. It kinda melted onto the plate I was using in the shrinking process so the plastic looks a bit uneven but it doesn’t bother me too much

Made these cute raccoon collar clips for a friend as a graduation gift! (Totally copied these ones)

I had a bunch of dried roses from my graduation party and I wanted to do something with them, so I put them all in this frame and I think it looks really nice! The problem with dried flowers is that they break easily and gather dust if left uncovered so this should be a pretty good solution

Re-organizing my crafts supplies a bit!
