September updates

[Captain Catnip]

I'm slowly trying to get my mojo back. I'm working on a pair of fingerless mitts that H requested and am considering making some mittens for my nephews. I also want to start my sweater but keep putting off swatching. I finished these basic mitts for myself.

Ive resolved to finish up at least two of the four unfinished knitting projects this winter. I picked up the sweater I started 3 years ago and got one sleeve done already. second sleeve and neck and technically i'm done, but i'm thinking of taking off the bind off at the bottom and making it longer.

Working through projects I’ve been avoiding. These are single layers of flannel serged to become hankies for my friend. My fray check has all dried up, so I need to grab more today.

What a fun idea! I may do this for the kids.

My friend has decided 12”x10” is just about the perfect size. Her 10 year old uses them too.

Dd requested a cinch sack for Disney world next week so I made this:



The pattern is from Etsy and terrible but it turned out really cute.

I hope you have a lot of fun. Cute bag, did you make the dresses/shirts/?? too? She's going to need some sunscreen, but, good going with the short sleeves/tank- it's been so hot! Feel free to bring less boiling weather with you.

[redheadk]

cmeon, the dress with the brighter blue background is storebought but I made a few others:


And another with Elena that I don’t have a pic of.

We live in Houston so about the same weather, unfortunately 😪. Should be lots of fun, though!

Oh, yeah, that weather deal is not going to work! But, it's good that you're pre-acclimated, for the most part.

Those are both adorable, she's going to get lots of love and attention in the parks!

Love these

Captain Catnip , is that the speckled yarn from the Fibre Seed? It looks familiar

I have all sorts of knitting mojo after my knitting retreat. I'll post a picture of my 21-color striped hat as soon as I finish it, I promise. This is what it should look like when it's done



One of my Ravelry groups is doing a fun Oct/Nov game. We each pick 3 small projects we want to take on (or finish if it's a WIP). Everyone votes until 10/10, then we finish the winner by 11/15. Maybe we could try that here sometime. I think it would lend itself to just about any craft and timeline

drloretta yep! fiber seed worsted rainbow in the dark.

I just finished these for H. He requested them and chose the pattern. I have a feeling they'll be a bit longer than he anticipated...

[shortcake2675]

I am up way too late, but I was waiting for the pen to charge and I didn’t have the usb c plugged all the way into the display. I can now digitize freehand with a pen!!!

I was too tired to find clip art to try to trace, but I love my freehand cloud. And digitizing my handwriting? LOVE!! Now to make these into something to test stitch.

Also, it’s enormous. I knew it was going to be 15.6”. I didn’t account for the buttons adding 2 more inches of width.

So cool shortcake2675!

I am kicking myself for deciding to make DD a knit sweater in fingering weight yarn. On the one hand, it will be gorgeous, but on the other hand, this is taking way too long and is likely to be a waste since she only wears the sweaters occasionally.

It does match some corduroy I bought to make her a Christmas dress though. Hopefully i can get all this done for Christmas!

Nice! They turned out cool. If you have leftovers, I highly recommend the Depth cowl or Depth hat from Talitha Kuomi. Intentional pooling for the win!

I've been unreliable in exchanges in the past. I'm surprised no one has called me put on it to be honest. I told myself mo more exchanges cause I dont want to be 'that person '. :/

Oh no apology needed! I just know my own limitations right now.
