One of the projects from the mixed up pile of floss last #WIPWednesday is officially back in action for this one.
This is Beachfront Home by @infinitybear and I've been working on it on and off for what seems like years at this point, every time I pick it up I remember how much bigger than expected it is! Today saw some progress on the sky, while binge watching driving mock test videos 🙈
Determined to get this one done. It is officially on the #FinishOrFrogAlong list and that's final.
Ok the good news is that after all these months, I do still actually remember how to knit.
The bad news is I need to figure out which bits of this chaotic pile of floss were supposed to go with which WIP cross stitch project 🤦♀️

As others have said, there is *definitely* a good presence of knitters and crocheters here, and I LOVE IT.
Besides the #crochet, #knitting, and #TextileArts hashtags, there are also groups to follow:
@knitting
@crochet
@crafters
@textileart
Another good tag to follow is #WIPWednesday -- where people post their works-in-progress (on Wednesday). All kinds of works! I like seeing what other makers are making.
One day I'll pick up a new craft and it WON'T leave bits of fluff everywhere. But it is not this day.
House sparrow - work in progress...

Presenting the underwhelming progress made on my new start over the last week and a half!
In fairness though, it's probably the most I've ever actually got done on a holiday. And I only packed *two* unnecessary "just in case" cakes of yarn, so that's definitely an improvement there 😅
Step one, complete! Time for some swatching, and you can imagine me doing the creepy hand-rubbing and lip-licking thing while I say that 
Currently mashing some pictures together to try making some extra art for my debut album ahead of its release… this is made up of frames from an upcoming music video!

#WIPWednesday : I'm finally remaking the lace for my colonial cap. I put one of my first lace projects on it before, but I'm better now! And I found a lace that is more period- and region-appropriate.
I think it needs to be a smidge smaller still, so one more iteration to come. But this is fine for now.
I reverse engineered the pattern from this #MFABoston cap.
This #WIPWednesday has been mostly focused on cross stitching. I have finished the entire centre strip of my faith cross project now, apart from some white bits which I need to wait for better daylight to complete. I am moving on to working on the right hand side next. ☺️
I also cast on yet another pair of socks, these being for a family member. The pattern is “Elise” by Ashley Ratnam and is featured in “52 Weeks Of Socks Vol 2”. It is a very enjoyable pattern so far!
Just a bit of sleeve edging to go!*
*and then weaving in a thousand ends but I'm not thinking about that yet

I did it! Almost had the last row finished last night, but it was bedtime so I did the last few stitches this morning instead.
Now just to wait for it to dry from this half-hearted pre-blocking, seam the front and back panels together, add a border round the bottom, realise it's indecently short and add more border again, block it properly, weave in all the ends, and hope like hell the blue slip I've ordered to go under it fits because that was surprisingly hard to find on the modern internet.
Basically done, right?! 😅
For this #WIPWednesday I have been mostly doing cross stitch with a bit of knitting sprinkled in. I worked on my faith cross project and have made some progress on the base of the cross. I also shopped for floss and aida for a new start which I am quite excited about. Even though I still have a way to go to finish my current cross stitch, it is always reassuring to have a new start ready to go in the stash. The photo is of my progress today ☺️

I bought this entirely too cutesy, not me at all dress from Vinted ages ago for a holiday, but it's far too big in the back despite fitting everywhere else.
So tonight for #WIPWednesday I'm putting on my big girl pants and figuring out how to adjust it instead of leaving it smooshed up in a ball on the bottom of the wardrobe.
Hopefully it's simple because #sewing of any kind is really not my forte. But I have to at least try, or the dream of pairing it with big black clompy boots will die and we can't have that!
#WIPWednesday Fairy garden I should have finished a long time ago. There are a few square cm of empty space I haven't figured out how to fill in yet. Maybe something resembling moss or rocks?
It's after 3pm and I've only just realised it's not Tuesday. Which says a lot about how this week is going so far!
Basically no time for crafts the last few days, so instead here's a pic of the latch hook kit that I started a fortnight ago. It's much further on now, but I forgot to post this at the time and the colours make me happy so deal with it 😆
made a #design from #hexagons in #b3d #blender3D
this time not with motion in mind but sooner or later a spraycan and a wall 😀
maybe I should put up the version on the wall that is 30 degrees rotated and very unbalanced just because...
since this is the 3d sketch for a painting it might as well fit for #wipWednesday
How to tell if you need to clean the house, in one easy step:
Place dark fabric down on the table to take a new start photo. Did it get covered in dust that you'll need to wash off before actually starting to stitch?
If yes, clean the house 👍
I have barely done any knitting this week but I just realised there was another project I could share for #WIPWednesday instead.
This is a book nook kit I was given for my birthday last week that I’ve just started making. It’s mostly tiny bits of laser cut wood to pop out and piece together with various bits of plastic, twine and stickers to add in. The kit sells itself as “no glue” but the biggest challenge so far has been manipulating tiny double sided sticky pads to stick bits together. Glue might have been preferable!
Eventually (hopefully) it will make a tiny florist’s shop to sit between the books on my bookcase.
A shot of the whole of what I've stitched of the Animals Tree of Life. I'm making (slow) progress on the octopus on the left hand side, with just the backstitching to go now. Then only two more animals till I've finished part 2 of the overall piece.
Pattern by Climbing Goat Designs.
New craft, who dis?
My main WIP today is getting doggo to settle and feel at home, but I did manage about 3 inches or so of crochet over the long weekend in between prepping for her arrival.
Given that I just had to utter the words "no, good girls don't eat crochet!" I think tonight might be a lost cause 😆

It's almost done! Then maybe I can get back on with absolutely any of the stuff I'm *supposed* to be doing! 🫠
Also, turns out the mail service study thing I'm doing sends you actual parcels with actual things in it, so I've acquired two free books. They don't look like the sort of thing I'd normally read, but hey. Free books!

This is my mindful project. I haven't done this type of crochet before. So I have to count on the leaf pattern and therefore can't do anything else at the same time.
Suppose I should finish adding the bottom ribbing to this jumper...
You know, so I can procrastinate adding the sleeves and feel terrible about it all summer until finally getting it done for the finish-along in September and calling it a win 😉
I think I'm done with beads, now I need to get the sewing machine and do the actual sewing work 😱
