Start of the project.
I'm making a top down sweater with a European shoulder.
Doing just stripes didn't blend / fade nicely enough so I'm adding a bit of texture at the color changes to blur it further. I think that works nicely.
Now on to write down some notes or I will forget what I've done so far ...

Landscape in a match box.
Maybe not a very exciting scene, but the place means something to me. And now I can take it anywhere! 😊
I started writing again, partly to fundraise for medical expenses, and partly for the sheer fun of it. Hope all y'all in my Mastodon community can take a moment to check it out, let me know what you think! 💞🧶🥰

New project - this time a cardigan.
I bought the yarn this summer in Denmark as a souvenir with the vague idea to make a cardigan / jacket with stranded colorwork at the yoke. On a black and white picture the colors have enough contrast against each other, but the heathering eats finer details, so it's going to be a very simple zig-zag.
The yoke will be based on the percentag system from "Knitting in the old way" but top down
🧵 For all who like to see my #scrollBook project in progress, I start a thread for new photos.
The idea: Having art small enough for a handbag or hanged on a wall. 'Writing' a #book that can't get copied by AI or people - but can be inspiring for others.
Materials: A vintage wooden bobbin, tea-dyed coton flannel, #teaBags, #sareeSilk scraps, #lace, #embroidery, glass rocailles.

Flower Stole - a new project.
I bought a third ball from the same yarn (but different dye lot) that I'd used for the cardigan (which is still drying) - just in case.
I'll turn it into a stole with a simple flower pattern, worked on the bias but with a straight cast on. Pretty mindless, 8 stitch / 8 row pattern repeat.
I started it to take to the #KIP event.
