A crochet student generously gave me this needlepoint kit after I had commented that I wanted to do some different textile crafts this year.
Working on a printed canvas is a change from the cross-stitch counting I've done in the past
I'm enjoying the differences in the technique and materials but it's definitely a work in daylight project
And it's done, at least until we have more t-shirts to cut up
It's a little wonky but I'm happy as it's my first attempt.
It was time to clear out some old t-shirts. Rather than stick them in the rag bag I've turned them into yarn. 🧶
I dug out some cotton DK in my stash so I've started on a rag rug.
No pattern, just working out the increases as I go
Part of my stash busting is facing "The doomed bag of WIPs"
It contained a part-made scarf I wasn't happy with. It was one of my spontaneous 1 ball nice yarn purchases. Apart from it being German I can't remember what it was and the ball band is long gone.
So I frogged it and tried to remember how I made wristwarmers before dragonscale. I think this works 🧶
Taking a break from the stash busting this week.
I'd promised my crochet class I'd get this bag pattern written up for them. But as I gave my first attempt to my mum I need to make a second to check the size 😁
The other part of stash busting is using up all the little bits to make granny squares for my crochet classes.
These give the students a chance to get used to working treble crochet before I teach them the different ways to start.
The aran cardigan progresses slowly
An easy pattern to remember yet I still get the cable the wrong way round so there's been a fair bit of frogging 🤦🏼♀️
Despite that the back is completed & I've almost finished the 2nd sleeve.
At 5809 x 9052 pixels, Page 92 of Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Feral will one of the largest things I've ever inked in Procreate, and probably larger than anything I've colored in it so far. I get six layers to play with in total, which I can just about do if performance is adequate.
The scan was made 10 years ago; the inks were partly done in a lower-res file but I decided to start over with those.

Or not in this case.
Just frogged about 10 rows as I spotted a mistake 🙁
