It's finished! 🎉
This is the "p.18 Pineapple Mini-dress" by Atsuko Takeda. It's my first attempt at an untranslated Japanese pattern, and it took way longer than expected but I'm well chuffed with how it's turned out!
Added an extra repeat of the bottom border, and blocked it twice to make sure it was a respectable length, but other than that no modifications. Loved having a pattern that just trusted you to know how to read a chart, as well.
10/10 would Japanese pattern again.
I switched to this project from my woolly green jumper, because the weather turned warmer.
So now that I've finished it, of course it's freezing again and there's a storm due 🤦♀️
On the bright side, it was a fun knit!
This week's massively overdue finished project pic is these Year of Plenty socks, completed at the end of last year but somehow never posted. Oops!
I picked up the pattern as part of the @fastenoffyal 2024 and had to modify it to use my usual 64 stitches for a better fit.
This was also my tester project on mini circulars, which was a bit of a learning curve!
My knitted sock drawer is officially getting too full...
The finished Refracted Sweater! I love it, even though it's still a bit itchy. Consider me a convert to the wonderful world of speckle yarns for things other than socks 😁
Crafter's Log - Back on the craft horse!
It's official, I'm back to making videos! But I'm also rusty and it's taking longer than expected, so plans to publish today didn't work out. At least I'm back on the horse 🤷♀️
On the bright side I did need to finally take photos of this #CroppedBoatneckSweater that was finished a very long time ago, has been worn, has even visited Norway, and as you can tell from the crumples has reached the stage of "this is just a normal jumper that lives in my jumper pile"
So a very belated #FOFriday feature, for a project that was a really nice knit and didn't deserve to wait so long.
