Me in the kitchen. Every time. Flour everywhere.

I've been sewing for ages, picked up crochet after college and knitting a few years ago. Pandemic has been spent learning how to bake bread so apparently I've become a 1950s model housewife while working from home.

Enjoy this dump of things I've made in the last year. Most recent to oldest because I'm too lazy to reorder the photos.

Current project: Grogu #3, this time with giant craft eyes! Grogus 1 and 2 below.

Bread! Started doing sourdough recently, very fun and a good way to break up the work day.

Crochet baby blanket going to a fellow Penn State grad.

MOAR bread!

I spent HOURS on this dog tent. Guess who doesn't sleep in it.

Sourdough crackers - absolutely amazing with tapenade.

Needlepoint in progress for a friend's birthday. Almost done with this one!

Pizza!

Some swatches for a blog post about gauge. Yes, you really should make the fucking swatch.

Whole wheat rolls and BBQ ribs. Not shown: corn.

Some bunnies for Easter! Left is sewn, right is crochet.

It was cold this winter so I made a matching hat and scarf.

W h a l e s

Pretzel rolls to go with pulled pork from the crockpot. That was a good day.

First pattern I ever wrote: Year of the Ox lovey. He's so cute and the baby he went to is even cuter

A crochet sweater in progress that definitely hasn't been sitting on my coffee table staring at me for 3 months....

Scrundlewear is WAY better than anything store bought. Do recommend pattern from Stitch Upon a Time.

Challah!

Fun fact: if you make pink socks you can make them look like dicks.

Biggest project ever: crochet temperature blanket. Took over 200 hours and weighs about 12 pounds.

Why is this photo a potato idk but enjoy my dog wearing a knitted Santa hat.

Another baby blanket, this one went to my cousin.

Surprise! It's another baby blanket! This one is quilted - first time I've ever quilted anything so that was an experience.

First sweater ever - Fisherman's sweater from Lion Brand yarn.

Grogus! Both have now been gifted to my mother and my best friends boyfriend who is just a tiny bit obsessed with Star Wars.

Obstinate dog tax

Amazing. Love all your hobbies and what you make. I’d like to be your friend

That must feel really good, to be cold and make a hat instead of going out and buying one.
