[projects-and-such]

hello! You can call me Anna. This started out as a space for keeping track of projects, but turned into something of a self care project in and of itself. Always down to make new friends, so send me an ask or a message sometime! <3

I follow from @usedtohaveascenewithhim (it's far more unhinged)

captain's log - things as they happen. mostly to do lists and snarky remarks

knitting - for, you know, my knitting. related to the next tag:

scarf-testing the sweater curse - my quest to test the boyfriend sweater curse by knitting a scarf for a boy who who was (and still is) admittedly not my boyfriend (maybe someday, but not today)

The Meg - my cat. She's a handful. 🐈‍⬛

crossposting bc it's true - so nice i had to say it twice

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

In the summer between college and uni, two friends and I made 1000 paper cranes to bid each other luck. It's been 15 years since then, and one of those friends just got married.

These foundation paper pieced cranes are made from the remnants of her wedding dress and were an absolute nightmare - silk and chiffon are not designed for this sort of thing! But the result so far is well beyond what I hoped it would be. Onto the quilting and binding!
