Crochet and Knitting Journey

Visual Diary of my Projects

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Week 41

Forgot to take pictures before the trip

Did the 2nd front panel on the Drift Jacket and worked on the Berlin Scarf

What I took on the trip is a kids' beanie and sock. I took some bigger projects but probably won't touch all of them.

Itching to start the new Fire Emblem and gave in

Week 40.

1 - I needed a little bit of yarn because my toddler outgrew his winter hats

2 - second front panel in the making

3 - finished head wear. The beret is way too big. Want to try felting it

4 - bear Bonnet. wished toddler size was included. it is so cute and I think the construction is fun

Bind offs- Ribbed Beanie, Musselburgh Beret, Bear Bonnet

Finished Greys Anatomy and also completed Agent Kim activated which was really fun.

Week 39

1 - a little spark is back. Finally started the front panels of my Drift Jacket. As of right now I have finished one and the second one is on my needles

2 - needed coaster so I made two

3 - I need to get to the round with this top so I can just knit on the upcoming trip

Also continued my beanie but I forgot to take a photo.
Bind off: Olga Jacket

Media wise it was Toy Story 5, the rest of 911 LA and Nashville and now on to the newest season of Grey's Anatomy

Week 38

Not much happening. Almost done with one sleeve. Tried a little bit of this and that. Would like to crochet again but don't have the right project.

I made my first 3D card. I think it is cute and was fun.

Dragonball Super was kinda meh. Started Healer but not really watching. So mood television wise is also beyond slumpy.

Ah but I've sown a pouch from trash. So there's that.

I aim to sew a pouch next week.

Week 37

1 - we have buttonbands 🥳 started with a hiccup because I made it too short but now I have done it and the process was better than I imagined. I do not have matching buttons yet. Sleeves are next

2 - I want to clean up the edge on this project but am not quite sure how I want to do it. Includes this figurines from Burger King. How much of a coincidence is it that I am watching Dragon Super really on a whim and BK comes out with these. I would not have gotten these otherwise.
Growing up means realizing that Son Goku is actually pretty awful.

3 - not fiber arts but I love how these magnets turned out

10 episodes Dragon Ball Super left. I am really close to getting the new Fire Emblem game while not having played through Digimon.

Week 36

1 - Bound off my Montpellier Top but I don't like how it looks on me so it will be an 'at home' top

Picked up the right button band for my Olga cardigan. Hate picking up stitches

2 - tried to cross stitch a card. I did whatever not following any 'rules' 😄 and I think it is cute.

I need to sort out my stuff. I would like to sow. At the same time I don't. Currently nothing really excites me 🙈. So I am just slumping until something comes along.
Watching Dragonball Super still. It will be around for about 100 Episodes more.

Week 35

1 + 2) ok. these needle cases are hands down the best scrap yarn project for me. it is quick and practical. I can use the tiniest amounts

3) trying cross stitch. I should look up more on how to do this

4) Filet crochet progress and I ran out of yarn. I used two different skeins and I feel like there is not too much difference. Totally underestimated how much I really needed for this

Started Dragonball Super and hate the German dub. They used to be so good.

Week 34

1 - third and last bind off attempt. Really struggling with this

2 - how overconfident was I that this one ball of yarn was getting me much further. I don't wanna buy new yarn. Hope it is a good enough match. But I feel like it won't be enough.

Some movies here and there and mainly playing Digimon.

Week 33

1 - starting some random filet crochet and I don't think one skein is enough. Because I don't want to buy new yarn it probably will be dual colored

2 - minimal progress

3 - struggling with the body bind off and moved on to the neckline. I very likely will un do my bind off - again - and do it a bind off like I did for my Lotta pants.

I finished FF7 Rebirth and definitely do not want to invest in Hard Mode. I already did it for the PS5 not gonna do it again. Now I am on to Digimon Time Stranger. Finished Teach you a lesson and started the Ultimatum because I needed something dumb😄

Week 32.

1 - redoing my Montpellier top and enjoying my 2nd run on FF7 Rebirth

2 - this i-cord bind off does not work for me. It is too tight. So I have to redo it but am too frustrated at this point. I just want to knit not unravel.

Finished Our Generation and started Teach you a lesson. I realized I need fast paced stories at the moment. And I finished my book where I had hoped for another outcome for the romance but well it was a solid trilogy. Fixed the elastic band of my barrel skirt which feels good and finally have a bucket hat for the sun. So I am feeling more accomplished this week

New hyper focus: Pokemon Cards. I have seen connected art card which are so adorable. So I am trying to also make these magnets

Week 31

1 - I wanted to line that blanket for 3 years. 3 years. Finally (very sloppily) finished that task

2 - first movie theater visit alone. Had to see the new spiderman and could do a couple of rounds in the dark.

3 - couple of centimeters left

4 - random crochet fit

Mainly played FF7Rebirth (55h) Killing the Mindflayer first is breaking my spirit. How did I do it the first time? Continued watching Our Generation and started the Punisher after watching Spiderman but nothing is scratching the itch right now. Think I forgot to mention Kaulitz and Kaulitz last week.
