Finished project: Rosemary
I was scrolling through my own blog today (as one does) and realized I never did a proper round-up post for Rosemary. So this is a bit of a retrospective I suppose! Click through for my notes on the project if you're interested - otherwise, I hope you like the pictures!
This is certainly one of my favorite pieces that I've done. I think it really turned out beautifully! But, it also stands out in my mind for having a foul, foul, truly foul number of broken threads that had to be replaced in the middle of the work. I think at least 6? The ideal number of course being zero. At the time, this sucked. I had no idea what I was doing - you can see in one of the pictures that I was referencing three different books at one point trying to figure out how the heck to fix the dang things. But in hindsight, it was valuable experience! I got a lot of practice splicing in new threads, and I also stopped being so afraid of it happening. (Though of course one still likes to avoid it...)
I am not sure why so many threads decided to part company with their fellows, but I have some theories. I'm fairly sure it's not because of putting too much tension on the thread, because it didn't snap under pressure so much as just kinda fray and drift apart. My prime suspect is the bobbins - something about this style of bobbin makes it really hard (for me, at least) to prevent them rolling wildly all over the pillow during the work, which runs the risk of untwisting the thread. This is very sad for me because I love these bobbins. But I haven't given up hope that I can still make them work. They seem to roll less on my box pillow, so maybe they can just be reserved for that pillow. Also, I'm on that "it was a bad batch of thread" copium 😅
This was also the first time I tried mounting the finished lace onto fabric, which I was very worried about screwing up but it wound up not being so bad! Sewing is definitely not my strong suit, but I got through it and am pleased with the result.

This was the first heart I did in this pattern. I loved it so much I made two more.
This was made with a layer cake, two different accents, and some border fabric.
It’s laid out on a queen, but it’s terribly short all the way around. A twin or double would be better.
I really love how dramatic the black around the center heart looks.

Shes finished!! She makes my bed look like it's a twin, it's not. Its a queen. But she's done!! And it's only January 1, 2024!!!
Honestly not to get too poetic or emotional, but this project is such a testimony to survival for me. With as much as I struggled this year with my mental health, it's kind of nice to have this tactile reminder that I made it. Look: all of those hard days are here. They're strung together with all of the good days to make something absolutely beautiful. And besides that? I can't even pick out which ones were the bad days. In the grand scheme of things,, they all come together. And I made it. I made this beautiful thing, I made it through this year. And so did you ❤
With that: Happy New Year! Happy 2024! Take it in your stride, and know that you can do this.

The bag is done! Well,
Almost, I should still blog it, but I'm fairly happy with the outcome and don't think it needs blocking
Tumblr media
It holds almos my complete hand spun stash!! Only a few grams of yarn are missing!! Kind of insane

Now I want to start a new project of sprang, because very early I couldn't stop thinking "did stone age people had all that it takes to make fishnet tights? Net structure: check, sewing said structure together: check.
So I guess next project will be not serious, evil experimentao archeology 😈

I’ll be blocking it soon (washing and stretching it before letting it dry) and doing a longer post about my hand-spun hap shawl, but I just finished it tonight and need to show it off. Isn’t it so pretty? It’s also super warm. 5 1/2 weeks since I started it. Can’t wait to block it and see what the finished size is!

A combination of a mystery yarn and a zauberball.

I'm still blocked on Olney Handkerchief (that corner is just... really scary guys, I'm not gonna lie, I am intimidated) so - I made a different handkerchief! This is just a single-shuttle beginner tatting pattern with wildly improvised corners, but I think it turned out pretty nice! I bought the hanky pre-made and tatted directly onto it. The repeat on this pattern is extremely short so it worked out ok just going for it, I didn't really measure or plan anything out. I am not actually sure how you are supposed to do more complicated patterns on premade hankies... even with this one if you look verrryyyyy close you can see I ran into a couple of problems with things not quite matching up. I do wonder how "real" tatters work that stuff out... none of my books have anything to say about it.

Heart quilt. Turned out pretty good. I’ve done this in a couple different colour ways, browns aren’t that visually appealing to me, but a lot of people enjoy how calming brown/beige is.
It barely fits a queen bed, so Imma say generous twin, would probably make a good fit on a double bed.

6 months of work, and it's finally completed. The last thing left to do is weave in the ends and block the whole thing. But since I, in good old tradition, finished this heavy-duty sweater once we regularly hit 30°C outside, I'm not in a hurry. I really like the fit, and it was a pretty easy project, which I enjoyed.
Pattern is Balloon sweater by petiteknit
