Daisy balaclava

Long time since I made a balaclava, oftentimes I find myself avoiding time consuming projects, although knitting is therapy and I genuinely don’t mind to undo things to start from scratch… to not see that much improvement makes me feel anxious. That’s why I dread garments so much.

Either way, this one has a special place in my heart for how gorgeous it ended up looking. Lovely.

Hexagon crochet collar

For a while I’ve been wanting to make a collar, it elevates an outfit, becomes the center piece and what pulls it together. Definitely see it as a more casual – stylish kinda look, even though inspired in clown collars and clown costumes. Must admit, it was a warm day to have a crochet, handmade, statement piece hugging you the whole day.

Also, it was the first time trying that cutesy edge, have used it tons ever since ‘cause I loved it.

I'd love to see some of the birds other than flamingos that get their colour from their diet

Well, usually I don't do color requests, but I guess this is more in depth than just color, so here are a few...

Purple Finch (Haemorhous purpureus), male, family Fringillidae, Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area, Quebec, Canada

Yes yes yes, I know. We all know this bird isn’t purple. You’re not that clever for noticing.

The word purple, historically, referred to deep shades of red (crimson), and not necessarily violet.

A collection of bucket hats

Bucket hats are some of the most fun projects for me, checkered or swirly are kinda tricky for the color change, but very rewarding to see the patterns at the end. Seeing them on friends warms my heart, to dress their heads with something I made with my hands…

To create something a loved one wears is a privilege and honor.

A cow costume commission I made last Halloween

I really loved the challenge of making this headband, everything is padded. The b&w pattern is freestyle to make them more cow-like.
