Witcher 3 Is Great But All The Female Models Are So Pornified That The Crones Are The Closest I Get To

This has now been finished and gifted so it’s rebloggable on main! 🎉

I am mystified about quite a few aspects of this, mostly the wonkiness given that I don’t _think_ I missed any stitches while turning and even blocked it. 🤨

Anyway, the recipient seemed very happy with it, and it’s only for a baby so the most important aspect is washability haha.

am i fast enough to bash out half a 🏳️‍🌈 blanket on a train to + from Manchester? not quite yet (purple missing + edges) but pretty good progress anyway

¿Dónde en Londres es el mejor lugar para estudiar español? Estoy interesado en el Instituto Cervantes pero es un poco caro y los horarios no son convenientes :(

Sadie the Sailor Dog from Ricorumi

Two main things from this one I'd like to improve on are:

colour changes - I managed to hide the worst of the jumper and life ring stripes at the back or inside but for the future, making them a bit tidier wouldn't hurt. 😬

making pom poms. It looks horrid and falls apart when looked at.

I liked this one much more than Toft patterns! Very little sewing but what I did do (ears) turned nicer than expected. I didn't have suitable safety eyes when I made this but actually it doesn't look too bad.

I took it to my Spanish class to show to someone who also crochets (mostly flat things) and everyone loved her. 😌

(Shit lighting but I could not be bothered to retake pics. : ))

Laundry cat.

I have no pottery this weekend but my jesmonite & terrazzo kits should be arriving today! Exciting!!

Bella is helping me test one of my Xmas gifts (an apron for pottering).

Easter Bunny (needle felted + some crocheted flowers)

The great things about needle felting is that the work is never done - this little guy could have been much less fuzzy if I stabbed him for a few more hours but the owners should be quite capable of continuing to shape him if they choose to do so. : )

Unfortunately despite trying A LOT the flowers were not turning out very well so I crocheted them yesterday. 🫣

I'm particularly happy with the face, I think it's very sweet. `

The kit itself is not particularly easter themed (link: https://www.berginandbath.co.uk/product-page/needle-felting-kit-easter-bunny) but adding a bag with eggs helped. The bag and the flower are also removable if they want to add new accessories...

The pic to the right is from Stitch Fest where I bought the kit. I could not get to IKEA to get the dome they put theirs in but a pasta container from John Lewis did just as well.

Fox and grey cat

Random little projects made this week.

I've had the cat kit for a while (bought instead of another book I will never finish at Waterstones), and the fox is my attempt at actually making stuff I find on Tumblr. It's a free pattern.

Honestly I expected the kit to be worse, the yarn was clearly some kind of a synthetic and the hook was just a chunk of metal but the instructions were pretty clear and it worked up quick. I have yarn spare as well. Shape-wise it's similar to TOFT kits but obviously less 'quality', at £10.

I placed the eyes wonkily hence the side eye 'fix'. 💀

The fox is made with Rico pure cotton. It's incredible how much more pleasant it was to make than my last thing, also in cotton but from Hobbii. Maybe that was stiffer cos it was bleached? :s
