Stuff I did this year! 2022

 In reverse order. they're all things I probably could have made a separate blog post about (some of them I probably should have so I knew where the pattern/ instructions came from)


I just finished this hat! Started spinning the fiber around the first of the month. 

Started with the mittens, ran out of the purple cuff yarn, found something close enough to do something on the matching brim of a hat. 



I think I got this put back together? As you can see it took a lot of seam ripping and cutting to do it. Don't ask me what I was thinking when I put it together in the first place. 




Super behind with the times. I binge watched Parks and Recreation this fall and fell in love with one of Leslie Knope's hats, which was literally featured for five seconds in an episode about Jerry (Garry? Larry?)'s birthday.  But it was blush pink and a little fuzzy (and it looked really nice) and I taught myself a new skill (knitting a hat top down!) by studying a paused still and hunting through lace patterns to get the right one. 10/10, would totally make it again in pink angora. 


It's not done yet but it's obviously a lot closer to being there!
Row by Row 2015?



Must have finished this over the summer?

IDK when I finished this hat... was obviously staying in a hotel when I did... The mittens are a pain in the arse, so they're hibernating. Hat has a pompom now.



Tried my hand at making a ribbon cockade for Valentine's day. Would do it again but not make the petals as big for ribbon this skinny.


I pulled this together by looking at pictures of wrap dresses, measuring the doll, and adjusting a free bloomers pattern. It's reversable!

This was also a free pattern, and it was supposed to be put on the doll with the fastener in the front, but the kids all tried to put it on backwards. It's the first creeper I've ever tried to make, and the neck is a little funky.
