It's kindof a made up as I go along situation! Mostly mitered squares with garter stitch borders and short rows for shaping!

Finally ready for a fit check! I need more coverage on the front but that would make the neckline fold over so I'll have to do some brainstorming 🧠 #knitsky #knitting # self drafted #makingitup #quiltsky

Packaging makes me feel all fancy 🤡 honestly have no idea if these will ever sell. It's so hard putting them out there but at least I'm making stuff I enjoy. I refuse to make profit the point of making, but I love thinking that someone will see and appreciate my art enough to bring it home.

Finding this "art algorithm" very relaxing in these trying times. Making is how I cope

I actually finished a sewing project! Very proud that I got the stripes to match up across the zipper. Made from my handwoven fabric 😍☺️🧶
