Sometimes I don’t think rainbow is my everything, then it dawns on my I’m knitting a rainbow project on rainbow needles with a rainbow stitch marker and I realise I’m absolutely wrong 😂🌈

A little bit late, but happy new year!! I’m working on this wall hanging or jacket patch (if it fits) and learning intarsia knitting for the first time! The big gaps are just ends that need tied together on the back, fear not 😅 I’ve spent the first few weeks of the year frogging all my projects I had no intention of finishing and just wanted the yarn back for new projects, which turns out was a LOT of yarn! Here’s to another year of crafting AND a year of finishes 🥂 do you have any resolutions or goals? I’m hoping to learn to drive, get out my remaining debt and actively lose weight cos I simply refuse to enter my 30s fat and skint so I’ve got like 3 years to make some sort of progress 😂

I’m gonna be a day late to most posts cos I’m trying to finish up a few prompts at once lmaoooooo but yesterdays prompt was to show your stash! Well it was to rest, but you could show the stash if you wanted 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is just my DK, sock weight and Pom Pom yarns, I’ve got 3 more 80 litre tubs filled with different weights or specialty yarn….so you can see why I need a stash bust challenge 😭🧶

I forgot to share this yesterday, but I crocheted a small Texas BBQ, garlic and herb dip AND box for work! It took about 16 hours collectively and used yarn from the stash. Most was free handed. What do you think? What’s your dominos order? 🍕💖✨🌈

I wanted to try and knit something with literally 18 colours and apparently that’s not really a thing so I discovered duplicate stitching! You literally embroider the v shapes on top of the knitted fabric so it still looks knitted but you can stitch basically any graphic you want! I can’t wait to share this little piece with you 💖

I’m on day 5 of being off work and naturally as it’s payday we went for a bit if retail therapy! Every time I go into my favourite craft shop I’ve eyed up this yarn and I finally bought it today! I’m so excited I’ve already made a little gauge swatch 🐲💖

For the last day of Amigurumay I wanted to share this bear, which may just be a normal bear to everyone else, but I made it with yarn my Auntie Helen gave me. It’s projects like this where I use yarn from family or connect family to it in some way that mean the most. I makes me regret not asking my gran to teach me how to knit years ago, or not really taking an interest until it was too late. To some it might just be getting yarn that isn’t used but I treasure my yarn and find it hard to part with so it’s also the fact she picked out some I was looking for and gave it to me that meant a lot. I had other projects going on at the time but quickly made this to give to her before I left. Also if I could find more of this yarn I’d buy it all, it was old James C Brett and I don’t even think it had a colour name, just numbers lol. Anyway, ask your friends and family who craft if they can teach you or if they want to craft together! Build your little communities! Happy crafting ✌🏻💖🧶

Second last day of Amigurumay! I made this wonderful sosig dog for a friend at work and it was the first pattern I had to eyeball and guess. I think I did pretty well! 🐶🐾🌭
