Swatched some stretchy cast-ons and bind-offs for 1x1 ribbing for a pair of leg warmers:

Left to right, top to bottom:

Alternating German twisted CO, sewn BO.

Double-tail long-tail CO (should have done alternating but didn't think of it), super stretchy crochet BO (basically Jeny's surprisingly stretchy BO but done with a crochet hook).

Latvian CO, Latvian BO.

Bulgarian CO, Kitchener/Italian BO.

I suspect I will go with swatch #4: the cast-on is pretty, and the bind off doesn't flare.

Another attempt at some sashiko! This one is in the same thigh-rubbing spot as previous, but on a different set of jean shorts. Given how much I have to wrangle patches in this particular spot, I'm genuinely tempted to just put one in right as I buy the pants, maybe with some cute fabric so it's gradually revealed?

I'm about halfway done here, and you can tell just how much drawing out the grid (in this case, with lines every quarter-inch) helped me get the pattern I was aiming for much more effectively than the last one, where I was freehanding the lines.

Originally, the plan with this one was to have all the zig-zags point the same way, but honestly? I kinda dig the tiered waterfall vibe on this one more! Quite the improvement, in comparison to the one previous, I'd say, and that all comes down to technique.

I really enjoy the process of sashiko mends, it's very satisfying to load up a few straight stitches onto the needle just so where they need to be, then smooth out the fabrics they pin together, over and over. Very meditative, which makes it a good way to keep the hands busy while listening to a podcast! (Like, say, my podcast, Paper Cuts, perhaps? :3) plus, after you're done, you get to return a piece of clothing to use you would have lost otherwise! Isn't that a delight on its own?

Finally decided to just sit down and figure out how to make the ruffle for their neck last night and that led into giving them a face, hair and finishing putting them together. So say hello to my little scrappy friend!

I finished the project bag! This was incredibly fun to put together and I’m very happy with how it turned out.
