Gift post

Two quick, instant gratification knitting projects and an appropriately quick post. The cardigan is for my cousin's baby and the beret is a birthday gift for my eclectically fashionable brother.

Shirt 2: Jungle Chic

 

It's the same shirt pattern! Number two! I feel like I need to keep this one brief to avoid being redundant, heh.

Lining up

Summer's here! I'm blogging this light, casual shirt this time, using the same pattern as my Mario print button-up. I drafted a different collar and facing to achieve a notched camp collar look instead of the traditional collar and collar stand. This is the first of a bunch of shirts modified from the same base pattern.

Neon 'pus

Completed April 2021.

I've been pining after the Embrace Octopus Sweater since my teens, when I first learned to knit, and I'm delighted to say I beat an instance of "hey this is cool and I would like to make it but likely never will" syndrome. Make no mistake, I will continue to catalogue stuff that will never be fully realized, but for the moment I can celebrate having conquered The Big One.

It's a Mario!

Completed September 2020.

It’s a he! And all of his go-kart buddies!

Dungarees is a funny word

Originally completed March 2019, some minor revisions since.

It's the overalls post! My favorite article of clothing, self-made or bought off the rack. Admittedly they're pretty plain in a solid black denim twill and visually, little else, but their strength is versatility in being so low-key. They're black jeans with a bib! They'll be in style forever! (?????)

There's a lot I like about my dung'ees, and this is going to be a long post.

Varsity schmarsity

Final version completed February 2020.

Project began in September 2016 ugh.

This jacket has been through two revisions and I truly can't remember when exactly the first two "completions" were. I bet I didn't take photos either time because I subconsciously knew how unsatisfied I was. I didn't want to admit it because the even the first version was a several months-long ordeal and I needed to feel like my time wasn't wasted. At least this time I know for a fact that I will not be making a third revision.
