I made this bag for my femme🍓the main body is knit following a graph I created based on these TikTok videos she finds cute. The strap is crochet using the thermal stitch for minimal stretch. I made the adjustable hardware out of air dry dry clay, painted it and then finished it with resin. And the inside of the bag is lined with fabric.

The colour work graph I made is free on my site :)

“Business casual” handknit vest.

I initially didn’t like this but I think it’s growing on me. Also the tie wraps around the back so it looks like you’re wearing an actual tie😌 available on my site 🕺

I filmed a YouTube video documenting the process of making the V&A vest - check it out here.

I made a vest for a collaboration with the V&A. This is the final video they produced :)

Posting the final product one more time because I’m so proud of it! Taught myself crochet this summer with YouTube, then spent all of this fall making Persian Tiles during my down time at work (there’s a lot). Sized it up from an afghan to a queen size because 1) go big or go home 2) worsted weight acrylic yarn is dead cheap. Learned a lot! Also talked to so many people who saw me working on it and told me their own stories about crochet- old projects of their own that fell to the wayside, the blanket their grandma made. I got inspired to make this after I saw the pattern online, then spotted a finished one at the fair in the crafts barn. Felt like full circle when someone else told me they felt inspired to pick the craft back up!
