Dabbled in making dolls from a cute book called 'Knitted Animal Toys' by Louise Crowther 🐭

Instead carrots on the cardigan, I went for chilli's.

Used various acrylic 4-ply yarns - a bit of a 'stash buster'.

After a trip to Belfast, I came home with three balls of discounted mohair yarn (£2 each!).

This boat-neck, long-sleeved top is from a nelsknits YouTube tutorial. Love the result, but now I’m impatient for cooler days to wear it.

I agree!! I have been tempted ever since to make an person-sized one...

A small knitted mouse toy made from random scrap yarn. The original pattern called for a carrot on the cardigan (it was originally meant for a bunny) but I thought chillies would make her more spicy 🔥🐭🌶️

A few of year's ago I was commissioned by a close contact (my mother) to create a vest inspired by #Missoni (see last image). I managed to find a wonderful gradient yarn called Star Ruby by Cotton Kings (found on Hobbii) that matched the original reference photo.

This project was worked on during my daily commute last year and took a month to finish. The pattern is from the 'Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting' (modern when it was published in 1972) and it is the Thistle Design 'Balmoral' 🧶

#Thrifted a £1 Shein jacket as I thought it had potential...

It didn't fit perfectly so I improved the fit by adding:
- more buttons/button holes with my sewing machine, which also meant raising the collar
- press-studs under the collar for structure

Quite happy with it now! #upcycle #thriftsky

A taupe-coloured, cropped jacket. The buttons are a bit asymmetric (which I don't mind). Just what I was looking for really!

Still waiting for Charli xcx to release her European tour dates as I managed to miss out on every single UK one... Either way, I made this last year during the height of BRAT summer (yes, a toasty 100% acrylic jumper lol) 🧶

It was the 'Twister' yarn by Hobbii, in the shade yellow snapdragon 🙂 and thank you!

What's shakin' baby? 🦑🧶 I knitted this little squidy.

Made the pink button out of air-dry clay so it could look a little janky.

Great friends will listen to you moan about the dressmaker's dummy you bought from a charity shop without a stand and then find a stand for you for free the next day.

Does this mean I have magical, moaning, manifesting powers? (Probably not)

Me, posing next to my pink dressmaking dummy, with a new (free) stand!

Thank you! Yeah, it was just my mental block stopping me, as it didn't take me that long to finish once I got back on track 😄

My PI shawl, about 3 years in the making

I left this project in my WIP box until the local knitting Facebook group said they were doing a meet up and I decided to bring it - finished it within a week!

The first knitted project I ever finished was this acrylic mohair scarf back in the early 2010s. Picked up the yarn for £3 on a trip to Llandudno with my mum and grandma. Took ages to complete but it is probably one of my prized creations keeping me warm in winter 🧶😄

#upcycle time! This little bag and purse were made from an old pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans, as well as an old duvet (used as wadding)

Next time I'd add some thick interfacing + trim down the 'wadding' near the edges

A cute little first attempt! 👖🩵

Thank you! My endless supply of random bedsheets helped me out 😁

What a vibe! I love woollen skirts 😍 shame about the lining but that seems to be common with the vintage ones
