Finished Objects:
Necker Socks: https://ravelry.com/patterns/library/necker
- These socks are from my Op Art sock book, which is a brilliant book full of different sock patterns that have been created to form simple optical illusions. These ones have really not gone very well, as I have learnt the hard way, that textured patterns and self-striping yarn do not mix.
Emma's Project Bag: A small bag, simply made. No pattern.
- For this I really should have looked up what I was meant to be doing. But I didn't and I've ended up with a bag that is alright. But it is really not the best. next time I'm going to make one so much better and actually measure the fabric I'm cutting.
Breathe MAL:https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/breathemal
- This is a Make-A-Long I have entered, and I am so glad I have, it is run by the girls from the Knit3Together podcast, and they are great people who want to talk about their knitting as well as mental health to reduce the stigma around talking about it. The more people who know that it is okay to talk, the more people who will hopefully get the help and support they need.
Another Bear Hat:https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/polar-bear-hat-2
- A quick and simple crochet hat pattern. This time a second hat, in the same yarn and in much the same pattern. I decided that the ears were just a little bit too small on the first hat, so I've made some amendments and the outcome is just as good as I hoped.
WIPs:
Giraffe Cross-Stitch: A cross stitch kit given to me ages ago, I'm afraid I haven't got any other details.
- A quick little giraffe kit given to me a while ago, and has been a languishing WIP for a very long time now. I finally decided that if I am to get onto making my huge cross stitch I really need to finish all the little ones first. This has made considerable progress recently and is tantalisingly close to the end.
Necker Leftovers: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/leftovers-sock---necker
- I decided when I first started knitting socks, that for every pair of socks I make, with the left overs I was going to make myself one shorty sock. I have four at the moment. The idea is to have loads of odd socks that can remind me of all the pairs I have made. And the leftovers from those socks? Well scrappy socks of course!
Fishtail Headband: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Sockbug97/fishtail-braided-headband
- This was an idea to try out for keeping my ears and some of my head warm at work. It is proving a lovely to knit pattern, it has a simple cable pattern which is complex enough to enjoy working on it, but simple enough to knit through it quickly.
In The Shed (But really on the craft table):
Spitfire: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/themes/spitfire/supermarine-spitfire-mkia-starter-set-1-72.html
- The spitfire is one of my favourite aircraft and modeling has been something I have enjoyed to do for a while. I just never have the time to get around to doing it. The spitfire is quite an easy make, the only particularly complicated bit being the painting. Which I have attempted to show you here. Although I have just come straight home from work when doing it, and it is a little late.
