The Polwarth/Silk/Seacell yarn has been washed, and I can't wait to start knitting with it after TdF! (I should probably pick out a pattern in the meantime...) I'm also counting this for "use the precious skein combed top" in the @2026-fiber-arts-bingo
I also finished spinning and plying the Deichlamm:
Can you tell I lost bobbin chicken?
And finally I tried making some less chonky rolags from some mill ends and leftovers (mostly Polish Merino, some Unspecified Sheep, bamboo, and tiny amounts of BFL and Sari silk).
Now we're getting into shit I really love to make. Nerd stuff 😌 EVA-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion for my friend's birthday! (Started early 2026, we're getting closer to present time now 😂) We've seen the whole show multiple times and the movies together so this was a super fun piece to work on.
124x125 stitches on 14 count white aida, finished design is 9"x9"
Design by BorealisStitch on etsy! Their video game designs are awesome, I have two more by them that I completed after this one.
Progress under the cut 🫡
I took awful progress photos of this one, I constantly forgot to stop and take a pic before I continued a new section/color. But it was just so easy to keep going, I really had fun with it.
You'll notice I use a fabric pen to mark stitches. I have a hard time keeping count in my head a lot and I frequently space out and will forget to stop stitching when there's nothing to remind me where the thread stops 😂 the pen is heat reactive so any visible marks are erased when I iron it for framing.
Finished and framed! I LOVED making this one. The black outline with the bold blocks of color were satisfying to fill out. I bet it'd look even better on 16 count fabric. Start to finish took about 3 weeks but framing took about 3 months 😂💀
The designer has patterns of some of the other EVAs so I'll probably end up making those too 😂
mailing out my comfort for critters blankets!! six were sent to a chihuahua rescue, and six are about to go to the SPCA i volunteered at as a kid, where all our family pets were adopted from <3

Its baguette the wiener dog! He comes in a variety of colors for his sweater and hat such as, pink, dark pink, red, dark and light blue, dark and light yellow! He is 30$
Trying a new cross stitch method for neater stitches and no weird obvious sections! I can't remember who I saw this technique from, but you go right to left in a triangle or trapezoid shape as you fill in your pattern. I'm still new to cross stitch so sorry that I don't know any proper terms! Do any pros have some good tips?
