Loooook 🤩 I made this for my 3yo niece. It's a tiny handbag perfect for a small hand.

(Suggestions for good hashtags are welcome, I always go blank when I want to post something I made).

Soooo #hobbii brand got bought by a "Tech company" and the CEO recently made a LinkedIn post all about how ~great AI generated images~ are.

Notably they didn't put that on their store anywhere - just LinkedIn.

Aaaand the backlash has been swift.
Consumer trust ? Nuked from space.
Influencer Goodwill? *obliterated*.

Why buy a company to just destroy it ?

It's completely finished!

So happy with the result, and I can barely believe the difference wet-blocking made.

I'll add the motifs to the blog in a bit.

Finally finished the left sleeve, which was a lot faster than the right.

Next I need to weave in ends, fix holes and finally block. It may take a while but I'm definitely reaching the end.

I knitted a pair of armwarmers!

I did those at record speed. Usually I need 2 weeks for those, but I did this set in 5 days

I used Colour Crafter from Scheepjes

Meh. I do say that when you make things from your favorite colors of yarn, that combining the leftovers makes projects gorgeous. There are exceptions. This ribbed cap I'm making for #ScrapAlong2026 just doesn't bring me joy.

I'll frog back into the light beginning half and incorporate this unlabeled thrift store yarn. I think it's Austermann Step in colorway 18 Red Grey.

Nope. I started the crown of the first version but thought "nope" and frogged back to the first stripe. Reknit in narrower, neater stripes, I'm much happier with the result. It's my latest ribbed cap for #ScrapAlong2026, knit from four colorways of leftover fingering weight yarn.
