All done! ☺️ I'd ideally would like to block it to open up the lace but I do not have a mat or towels big enough to cover this so it'll stay like this for now 💪 #crafting #knitting

Completed blanket with striped diagonal shell lace pattern and a linen stitch border. It features a mix of colours similar to orange lichen on a rock

Fluffy creation going well o w o 9 I found some black and blue acrylic fibres in my scrap bag which shred nicely, so I'm using that as a blend and for added structure 💪

Experimenting with cotton fibres 🤔 I'm currently making a fluffy project and tried the pet brush technique, but it's still very stringy. So I'm using the yarn scrap I had from snipping to see if I can make roving for felting. Wish me luck o w o

Ditched the squares for stripes because I didn't want to sew all of them together 😭 the swatches I found weren't showing well either. Anyway, crochet old blanket compared to new knit lace below o w o 7

If anyone has nice lace patterns that will work over 27 stitches please let me know 🙏 these colours mean that textures won't show up very nicely... You can barely see the seed stitch on the second square :( #knitting #crafting #WIP

I learned a little while back that teapots can function as really good yarn holders which means I finally have use for this tit teapot I've had going spare. Though... The yarn coming out of the beak does look kinda spooky haha #crafting #knitting
