Trying out some Somali flag 🇸🇴 swatches (although I think I need a lighter blue). Happy #blackhistorymonth by @needle3stitch

Greece you’ve been so pretty and a crafters dream 🇬🇷, finished my first two filet crochet projects and started some new socks and I think tiny things are my new obsession (although my wrists disagree 😅) by @needle3stitch

Ended August with a free #craft #workshop yesterday and it was so wholesome 🧶

Thinking of doing more in future hopefully ☀️ by @needle3stitch

Very annoying habit of mine is not having pictures of my completed projects so here are a few pictures of projects I’m working on/completed the past month 🧶 and fav thing is of course watching people knit when I craft

Pattern: @loupystudio cardigan
Pattern: @petiteknit #Oslo Hat
Pattern: oh so basic socks by #summerlee
Pattern: self drafted fingerless gloves
Pattern: Granny Square crochet bag

Yes I am working on a third pair of socks 🧦 cause I found more sock yarn in my stash 🏃🏾‍♀️ by @needle3stitch

A very craft summer and other tid bits.

My logic is, if I finish a project, I can start two more right? 🧶

Patterns:
Summer poncho by @aver.paula
Stripey raglan pattern by @loupystudio
Oh so basic socks by @summer.lee.knits by @needle3stitch

A very craft weekend in Croatia 🇭🇷, so grateful for meeting you all at craft club ☀️🫶🏽 by @needle3stitch

The shirt made me do it, holding my #finishedknit socks like a 🎣, so proud of these and maybe I do have the sock bog but only for once or twice a year.

Being on a strict time schedule of a week as a gift knit to my mum has been a little hard on my hands so I gotta calm down and read more of my tbr maybe #handmade

#Pattern: I’m so basic socks (free on Ravelry) by Summer Lee
#Yarn: Sock Flock, 4-ply Superwash, Roasted Fig by @needle3stitch

My #wavesweater is done and I made a knittok (link in bio), first colour work done and hopefully many more to come, onto some ideas for summer projects next 🧶 #knitsweater

Happy #finishedprojectfriday by @needle3stitch

Nearly done knitting Saturday? #whip 🧶 It’s been so lovely working on this pattern and as my first colour work I’m genuinely impressed with myself and how the colours matched so well. Excited to finish but sleeve island is getting me a little 😅

Pattern: #wavesweater by @spektakelstrik
Yarn: Drops Air for the main body and drops alpaca silk for the waves by @needle3stitch
