Plodding away slowly but surely at this blanket. I originally hoped I'd have it done in time for some camping trips but now I'm hoping to be finished this fall to watch scary movies on the couch under.

Pattern: Rectangular Colorblock Bias Blanket

I made myself a pair of socks!!!

One is clearly larger than the other BUT they both fit and clearly look like socks so I am super happy with how they came out!

Yarn: Lion Brand Feels Like Butta in the Cocoa & Charcoal colorways

Pattern: Easy Peasy Socks

I made a plant that I won't be able to kill! It honestly came out a lot cuter than I expected and I plan on trying out the other versions at some point. The pattern was super beginner friendly so I recommend it to anyone whose starting to learn crochet and wants to move past granny squares.

Pattern: Cactus Garden by Elf ♥'s Dwarf crochet

I used a bunch of yarns which can be found in my ravelry project here: Knitted Banshees Cactus Garden

I knit a sweater for my dad's dog Sammy but haven't been able to give it to him yet so I had to get another model for photos.

After I give it to him I will update on whether or not it fits the live model and hopefully with a photo! I have been calling this his Pumpkin Pie Sweater in my head while I work on it because of the colors so I think this is the perfect sweater for the Thanksgiving season.

(I do feel like I need to knit sweaters for my boney friend now, maybe one for each season lol)

Pattern: Bonnies Best Fit

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Beige & Big Twist Value Solids in Orange

I finished my first scarf a few weeks back!

It's uneven and not perfect but I made it with my own two hands so I'm happy with it.

Pattern: Toulin Scarf

Yarn: Thrifted Yarn

It's been a while since any project updates so here is an update on what I've been doing:

A few weeks back I rounded up all my knit/crochet WIPs and realized I had 13 unfinished projects (I found another after this picture was taken) which felt like way to much to justify starting anything else. Some of these projects just needed weaving in so there was no reason not to finish them. I finished a few and then started a hat for my dad so technically I've only knocked the number down by 2.

11/17/24 Current Project Count:

WIPS: 11

Frogged: 1

Finished: 2

A little peek at the project I've been working on, the Movie Night Cocoon Cardigan by Alexandra Tavel.

I started this on April 20th and have been making steady progress, my goal is to finish up before we go out of town this Wednesday so I can get started on a new project for the drive!

I went camping this weekend and one of my goals was to knock out these boot cuffs on the trip. I finished the second one 30 minutes before we reached our campsite so mission accomplished! I can't wait for fall so the weather will cool down and I can wear these out!

Pattern: Spiral Rib Legwarmers

Yarn: Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Gray Mix
