A little spontaneous doily making after getting the urge to make lace. It's a nice little WIP!
Shortly after I first started opening commissions, I had coworkers who were interested in a project or two. I was absolutely overjoyed when one of my coworkers asked for a jumper for their cat. Here the little feline is modeling that very same jumper that I had worked up, and last I heard, she still greatly enjoys wearing it!
I know I've been rather quiet of late - I needed to take some time away due to some personal issues as well as a move. BUT! That doesn't mean that my needles or hooks have stayed cold! My most recent project is this capelet, and I've just finished the front panel and will be moving on to the back panel tomorrow. I've made this before, using all black yarn. However, I wasn't happy with it at all. I'm much happier with what I've got going on here, and am greatly looking forward to how it turns out! The pattern is "Winter Cape," by Merry Purdy (available on Ravelry), and the wool I'm using is Lion Brand Yarns' Wool Ease in Dark Rose Heather and Forest Green Heather, which is a nice 80% Acrylic, 20% wool blend.
Coffee with a Spider: Fiber Interests
Something that I think I've started noticing throughout the fiber community is a love of branching out a little bit and trying out other fiber crafts. For myself personally, I already do crochet, nalbinding, and knitting... and have plans to delve into tatting and spinning and weaving in the future. I'm very interested to know what all of you enjoy doing and are interested in learning? Maybe we can all learn from each other! ^.^
Continuing the trend of projects I worked on with @patchypines, these are just three of quite a few oak leaf patches that I crocheted for them. As their favorite sweater was in need of repair, we put our heads together again and came up with a few ideas to help repair the holes and cover the damage. These were a fun and casual project that I was able to work up rather quickly while quarantined during an outbreak at the cafe that I was working at.
So far, nearly everything I've posted have been on a larger scale. But that said, I don't limit myself to larger projects. Micro-crochet is a fun little endeavor at times, and I was more than happy to crochet a little mothman for @patchypines and a little Fresno Nightcrawler for @crypticpuzzlebox! I definitely hope to do more of these in the future!
@patchypines asked me if I could make a skull with red eyes for him for a project he's doing. Sent me a pattern and I was happy to work this up for him! Looking forward to seeing what you use it for!
((Follow-up after he added the nasal cavity!))
And fresh off the needles, this commission is finished! A pair of socks made from cotton, nettle fiber, silk, and linen. This was such a fun project to work on, and I do hope they serve their new owner well!
