Here is a fairly recent ( I really must get around to updating my website with these!) Kids' Drawing story make for a wee girl, who was very specific with her instructions to me on the drawing, and then also via her Mum who ensured I made the head cream and not yellow, gave her blue eyes, and added in the brown fringe 😊 I decided to also add the rest of the hair and make the hoodie removable from the head and added a little green skirt and some black shoes.

A child's drawing of a figure with a very large round yellow head and a tiny body. The face has two large black eyes with long eyelashes and a button with freckles over it, and a big U shaped mouth. The head is wearing a green frog hoodie with two frog eyes on top. The drawing is covered in written instructions from the child.
A photo of the crochet version of the drawing. In this version the face is cream and the eyes blue with black pupils. There is also a visible fringe of brown hair. The body is small in relation to the head, but larger than in the drawing. It has the green hoodie top and a skirt in a slightly different green shade as well as arms and legs with black shoes. It is sitting on an owl bean bag on a wooden surface next to a red wall.
This is another photo of the same crochet doll, taken from the side this time, showing the hoodie top removed so that the brown, wavy hair, made up from strands of yarn, is visible.

Here's a smol Buneary friend that now lives on my shelf!

I started making them back in like mid-December, by which point I'd spent the past month making Christmas presents and was desperately craving something else to crochet! I thought the puff stitch on the legs and ears looked really unique and fun - and it was!

Their body sat finished for over a month, until I finally finished making them last week! And now I have another cute Pokémon ami to add to my collection! 😊

Pattern: Loopy Catherine

Granny Hexagon cardigan, made in May last year. This was actually the first item of clothing I ever made that was bigger and more complex than a shawl; I used to get really bored with long projects and was super intimidated by things like guage and sizing. I'm still a bit confused by sizing to be honest (which I think is possibly dyspraxia related?) but since making this I've made two more cardigans and two jumpers so I guess I'm a long projects kind of person now. \o/

Pattern by Passionknit Kelsie on YouTube, which I highly recommend for anyone who is new to crochet and wants to try making a cardigan for the first time - it's really well explained and easy to get the hang of!

Dear knitters of Mastodon,

Many years ago, I started this top-down circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper, hoping to knit my own ugly Christmas jumper, using a pattern by Drops (ravelry.com/patterns/library/1), using DK-weight Drops Karisma yarn (ravelry.com/yarns/library/garn), knitting on 4mm needles.

I stopped knitting because I made a mistake and couldn't face the frogging.

Now I want to frog the whole thing and start over, in part because I feel like my stranded colourwork skills are much better now.

I am wondering if I should find a different pattern? Maybe I don't want the jumper to be "ugly" anymore, so it would be a bit more wearable? Don't know if ugliness vibes are completely avoidable, given the colourways that I have.

QUESTION: do you have any suggestions for your favourite circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper patterns that might suit the yarn that I have (MC: 500 grams / 1000 m; CC: 100 grams / 200 m)?

I never actually completed a circular yoke, or a stranded colourwork jumper, so maybe something that has some good alternation between the colours would be best, just in case I don't manage a good tension on longer floats.

First finished knitting project in years: the reversible Basketweaver beanie by Westknits (ravelry.com/patterns/library/t), with yarn from Northbound Knitting (northboundknitting.com/) and Yarnalia, purchased at Good Grief Yarn in Toronto (goodgriefyarn.com/).

All pics are from unblocked product, since I finished it about 45 minutes before saying goodbye to the lovely guest who stayed with me for the past few weeks, and who was the recipient of the beanie. I gave them a small bottle of Eucalan and will instruct them on how to wash and block the beanie. Hope they will enjoy it!

Have good memories especially of knitting during a Sunday afternoon of lunch, drinks, snacks and board games at my other friend's place ❤️
