so I'm trying to decide what project to try to work on for #The100DayProject ... last year, I did a wardrobe project (#100DaysOfWardrobe) but sorta fizzled out after a while ... I've been kind of thinking for most of the last year that I would try the wardrobe project again, BUT I have a new/old idea that I've been thinking about the last month or so, and I might do that instead?

so, the idea is to make a webcomic out of (probably digital) paper dolls. basically, I would draw dismembered body parts/clothing, so the characters can sit/stand/etc and also draw the settings. I would also work on the story I want to tell* and working it into like storyboards. and then hopefully, at the end of the project, I could post the webcomic

it's a little different from the spirit of the 100 days project, but I think it'll work better for me personally?

morning, all 💜 (yes I'm going to open all my mundane life posts with "good morning", no matter what time it is)

I have work soon, but I've done a lot today ... I paid my rent, mailed a package, dogsat Marco, and worked on a crochet project (a mesh tank)

it's the day I normally do the weekly team meetings, but I didn't go today. I'll just watch the recording later, and I'll be able to talk to my supervisor about it today

project two:
I bought this top at a thrift store bc I loved the pattern, but the metal cylinders in the neckline are cold and I wasn't a huge fan of how it looked. I took them out, and hand sewed a HUGE amount of black lace in their place

it's SO fluffy!

shabbat shalom!

currently hanging out with close friends for a stitch & bitch/artsy craftsy hangout

I've got a few projects that I'm going to work on:
- a vintage handkerchief that I bought recently that has some lacy crocheted edging that I want to replace
- a shirt that I'm going to add some decoration to
- my current knitting project
- a small writing project

I'm definitely going to work on the first two, and I'll post some photos

I think I'm calling this project 3? it's the third thing I've finished, so 🤷🏻

I wanted to do something quick and easy in between my bigger projects ... I ended up changing patterns twice bc I was having a hard time 😅 I'm a much better knitter than I am a crocheter

anyway, this is a yarn I spun from (pre-dyed) wool roving! the pictures honestly don't do the colors justice, but oh well

one of my least favorite parts of #knitting is making gauge swatches.

a pattern will tell you "18 stitches and 25 rows = 4 inches by 4 inches", and then you have to knit usually slightly more than that and measure it.

it makes your product more closely match the pattern, which is good if you're making something fitted, but it just feels like busywork ... anyway, that's what I'm doing currently for my #100DaysProject

#100DaysOfWardrobe update:

I got this shirt for Chanukah 5781/2021, and I haven't really worn it, bc when I told my family what size to get, I wasn't counting on it being so narrow in the hip area

so last night I started picking stitches in order to create slits up the sides of this shirt and #handSewing the hems back

the first image is of my progress so far and the second is from the Amazon listing

#100DaysOfWardrobe my first project is finally done!!!

yarn used: Mauch Chunky by Kraemer Yarns, 100% wool, in 3 colors: Eggplant (reddish purple), Apricot (golden orange) and Sweet Corn (light yellow)
amount of yarn used: 3.5 skeins total: 1 full skein of Eggplant, 1.25 skeins each of Apricot and Sweet Corn (I only had one skein of each to start, so I had to order more partway through)

started: 2/22/23
finished: 3/14/23

well I didn't sleep last night, and I thought maybe I'd nap today, but but so far that doesn't seem to be happening

the apartment inspection was super quick, and I'm currently watching #LowerDecks and #knitting. I'm super close to finishing my bulky bolero thing. I'm working on the turtleneck bit, and I'll pretty much just go until I run out of the eggplant color

THEN I'll share a photo, and I'll start planning my next project. and maybe take a nap ...
