Blocking day! Finished knitting the 2nd panel of my Stratum top on Thur so making the most of the warm weather today 🧶 Finished the purple sweater I was working on too except tiding up a few spots where I wove in my ends. But that means I only have 2 WIPs so time to start at least one new project!

Blocking teal panels of yarn

I know it doesn't look like much but our efforts to do something with the front yard have been a succes 😍 Not a ton of weeds and I've managed to keep all 6 of the native plants we bought alive all summer! Once the botanical garden native plant shop opens again definitely going to get a few more 🌱

A yard full of mulch and a few thriving plants

Here's hoping very few other people decide to go to a movie at 10:30 pm on a week night! I never go to the movies anymore because I always end up next to someone who talks the entire film 😡 But hopefully this late if I end up next to someone like that there will be enough free seats to relocate.

1st time trying to seam the sleeves for a cardigan knit in piece...some how the sleeve is too big for the arm hole but also too small 😭 I'm clearly doing something wrong but that's a problem for future me. After at least 5 attempts to seam this sleeve tonight I'm at peak frustration levels 🧶

Blocking! Everything is lining up nicely and I didn't really need to do any stretching to hit my measurements. But it definitely could be blocked with some more stretch if it's too small once seamed 🧶 This pattern is light on instructions so I'm a little nervous about how attaching the arms work 😬

I haven't posted about this sweater in at least a month but I finished the back, both front panels and both sleeves 🧶 Now to seam it all before blocking and doing the collar. Wish me luck! Seaming and blocking are my least favorite parts 😂 🧶

A pile of knitted purple pieceswith stockinette and 2x2 rubbing that will hopefully turn into a long line cardigan when seamed 🤞

And I'm getting close to finishing up the back panel of this long sweater! Not bad for a little over a week after 3 false starts. Is it even a knitting project if you don't have to start over multiple times? 🧶😂

Just the handful of ornaments we've made these last few months in prep for fall art fairs 🤣 Just need to be hand sewn and stuffed! I usually only completely finish one of each animal so they take up less space for transport to the show and I sew the mostly done ones at the show as needed 🪡

A large variety of handmade felt aniamal ornaments waiting to be sewn and stuffed. We got elephants, aardvarks, sloths, cats, dogs, raccoons, opossums, dispalcer beats, unicorns, pandas, bearded dragons... I could go on 😂
