Joey and Andrew Socks! Made with lovely yarn from my wonderful friends (tysm @vitariesocks and @squidaresquishy) which they sent all the way from Philly as a Christmas gift. I love working with locally dyed yarn, so getting to use some that’s local to someone else was really cool! I really like the way these colours look together - I’ll probably make another stripey set with them both.
Yarn: Loop Sprig - the labels say ‘OOAK’ but neither of them seem to 100% match any of the colourways on the website, so perhaps discontinued or just a unique colourway!
Edit: I've been informed that OOAK stands for one of a kind so yes! Oops 😂

Made my kitty baby a blanket for the blizzard!
I can't remember the last time I was on here...at least since 2020? I don't know
Anyways! Here are some creative/crafty things I've made in that time. There are many more...but those pics are on my phone still apparently...
I crochet now! New skill acquired. Among many others!
Side business ideas are calling to me more and more...to get out of my comfort zone...and maybe give me a little feeling of purpose on the side...A lot of this typical work shite isn't working so hotly lol
It pays the bills and is a much better environment, but I want/need more funding for new experiences and future endeavours!
Cheap cotton yarn in Australia as this cotton is unwashed because it hasn't been in the water since it was in the field. There is nothing simpler or more pristine than this! Details are available from Yarn Hub.
I wanted to show off some things I made with loop yarn, and as it turns out, most of the time when I take a picture of my knitting it's because my cat is sitting on it. My cat is cuter and more interesting anyway, and given that what I made here is literally just a tricolor rectangle you can still see it fine.
The reason I wanted to post stuff with loop yarn is because the amount of it avaliable in craft stores varies every time I go to one, and last time I was there the (very cool) cashier told me it's because it's not very popular, but everyone buys things when they become a social media trend. So obviously what I took away from that is that I should post it online.
I really like working with loop yarn, it's really simple. It's for finger knitting, so you don't need needles or any other tools. (except a pair of scissors and a single stitch marker/safety pin.) It's also very soft, and clearly, it's Cat Approved. It's also super easy to switch colors, so you can make some really cool things with it, like, say, this.
I also have some other tapestries (is that the right word? they're flat, fiber arts images so I feel like it is?) but I have progress shots for those so I'm going to give them their own post. Also, I made them by converting pixel art into patterns for knitting, and I didn't make the pixel art. At the time I was making these for gifts and for fun, and had no plans to post them online, so I don't know who the original creators are to give credit. In the future I'll keep track of sources for images.
