Now my wrists are sore 😵‍💫 I’m happy to say though that this dress was still extremely comfortable after 4 hours of dancing! Handmade clothing for the win 💪 One word: Beach 💖 (iykyk) Happy because I got to teach a kids art workshop this morning 😋 We made t-shirt yarn then finger knit it into bracelets, bunk bed decorations, jump ropes, and more. Comment if you’re also doing a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature!! 💖🖤 Bonus points if you’re also dressing up 😉 Baby clothes = perfect projects for scrap yarn 🌈 This is by far my most worn top. It goes with every outfit, and it’s so light and airy. I’m debating making another one, but I have no idea what colour to choose. For a second one I would try making the sleeves elbow length like in the pattern to change it up a little too. I was going to talk about how this is by far the most vibrant thing I’ve ever knit, but then I caught a look at my closet and realized I actually knit with quite an array of colours all the time 😂 I guess I find with knitting I’m so much more drawn in by interesting colours than interesting stitches. Happy summer! 😎 I’m proud to show off this beachy sweater I recently made as a commission. I followed the tutorial by @chenda_diy changing the pattern to be made with worsted weight yarn rather than fingering weight. This year Barbie mania seems to be taking over the internet, and I’m not mad about it 💖💅 My excited face because @knitsirdar #gifted me this yarn but also because I finally managed to take a picture where it didn’t all fall out of the box 😂 More stripes on the feed today 💅 Hard to believe the other week I was wearing SWEATERS. It’s been so warm recently. All the baby sweater love today ❤️❤️ Ever since I first bought this yarn (at least 6 years ago), I knew I wanted to pair these 3 colours together in one project, especially the light purple with the yellow. Eventually I landed on the #twinklesweater by @midori_hirose_knit and it has quickly become one of my favourite sweaters!! The fit is amazing, and the colourwork pattern is so unique. Down the road, I am extremely tempted to make another one. Maybe next time white and orange? Guess what? I created a language, and it’s published in a book!! This is my yay-I-finished-my-3rd-year-of-university post . . . and I’m only 3 weeks late on sharing it 😅 This is also my first post showing off my new haircut and my braces! KARL! I made this sweater for him last year, and it makes me so happy every time I see him trotting around the house in it. I miss wearing this sweater!! For the past year it’s been sitting in a drawer, waiting to be redone . . . and it definitely will be there awhile longer 😭 The reason it’s been there is because I knit the sleeves of this sweater while on vacation, and I guess I wasn’t paying much attention because one turned out longer and wider than the other. Oops! 😵‍💫 I spent a couple years wearing it anyways even with this slight annoyance, but finally I decided I would be much happier if I just redid a sleeve. But then I realized it would probably be less time consuming to re-knit both sleeves rather than do a bunch of counting and measuring to match one of the existing ones exactly. And then I got thinking, while I’m at it, I should redo the last several inches of the body because it has far too much ribbing for my liking. And THEN I was like, hmm, since making this sweater I’ve accumulated some nice neutrals of the same colour palette, rather than re-knitting the sweater the same way, I should eliminate some of the less neutral colours currently on the sleeves and replace them with these new yarns. If I’m doing it again, I’ve gotta do it right!! Dressing like it’s summer and NOT midterm season 😵‍💫 Send good vibes for my French literature exam tomorrow lol. I used to be able to tell when I took certain Koselig photos based on the length of my hair, but now I can tell by the state of my teeth. In November I got braces on my upper teeth and just this morning I got them on my lower teeth . . . And as you can see, in this picture I have no braces at all, so it’s definitely from before then. I may be extremely tired from homework, but I will never get tired of working with scrap yarn 😍 This is a custom brioche knit, scrap yarn headband I made as a commission a couple Christmases ago. People always ask where I bought this funky shirt, but actually it used to be my grandma’s! I originally had kept it just for the fabric, to maybe sew a mask or a tote bag, but I soon realized that 1) it was too sentimental to cut up and 2) it would make a fun cardigan. Now I wear it all the time— I love to pair it with my knitted tops. Happy Weekend! Well, technically it’s Friday, but close enough. I’m probably going to spend most of my weekend doing homework, but I’m crossing my fingers I’ll be able to squeeze in some knitting time. I’ve been in the final stages of a cute custom order for about a week and have been dying for an opportunity to finish it up. All that’s left is weaving in the ends and blocking it!! ✨First post of 2023 ✨ As promised, here’s some behind the scenes of my Halloween costume! I had lots of fun making it, and for once I actually took the time to document the process. Happy Halloween 🎃 "I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers" Despite it nearly being October, the weather here in Vancouver has not cooled down. Guess I’ll be wearing my knit and crochet tank tops for a little while longer 😉 I’ve had this pattern in my queue for a loooong time, and it was so fun to finally knit it this summer! I haven’t done much lace knitting, so it was great to have an opportunity to play around with that. Also, how could I say no to following this pattern when I had three yarns that colour coordinated so well, in exactly the amount of each of them that the pattern called for!! Happy Fall! 🍂
