I make stuff

[usuallyhats]

I understand that there are people who are capable of completing an entire craft project without ever having to start again, rethink the entire project, or make an emergency craft shop dash. I am not one of those people. However I do occasionally finish things. And take pictures of them (which is incredibly complicated and involves balancing my camera on top of a mighty pile of STUFF).

Yosemite! I have been making this for OVER A YEAR on various different needle sizes and yarn weights. It has been almost finished for ages: it took me a while to get round to sewing the buttons on because button sewing is boring. And then I realised that the buttonholes were too big, so I tried to make them smaller, and that didn't work, so I just sewed the neckline (placket?) together and had done with it. But I don't care, because it is FINISHED, and today I wore it to work.

Pioneer! I really enjoyed making this and it went fairly smoothly, apart from the crocheted edging on the neck, which I had to redo four times. *headdesk*

Charm bracelet, and yes, even this I managed to mess up - I used the wrong size chain first time round and had to redo it all. Oh dear. But I am nevertheless pleased with how it turned out.

Lovely clothes, I am very impressed!! You must be scared to wash them though?!

Thank you! A little bit, yeah. The yarn does have washing instructions, but even so...
