A couple weeks ago I saw yarn online with a beautiful gradient - it was
so pretty it made me want to get back into knitting and crocheting. Long
story short, I ended up ordering 4 skeins of yarn worth €80 and then an
additional 4 smaller ones for €20. 💀 It's fine, though, I've been
enjoying it a lot and I missed it - I crocheted small things here and
there but never finished any of it because I lost steam quickly.
It made me think of all the things I made years ago for others
and for myself. For a good while I thought the pictures taken of the
things I made were lost to time, but the wayback machine had actually
saved some of them! I thought putting them all next to each other in a
blog post would be fun - I don't think it will show how much I improved
as art comparisons tend to do, but perhaps it will inspire me to improve
and do better
2014
1) Little red shark pencil case I made for a former friend. I used a
pattern for it but I vaguely remember having to change some things to
make it work... Anyway, I remember I forgot to line the inside with
fabric so pens would just fall out from between the crochet stitches.
whoops.
2) Little bunny plush that I made for a former friend. I am pretty sure I
used a pattern for it. What I enjoyed the most about it was picking out
the little details like the button and lace for the red cape!
3) Big, and I mean BIG fennec fox plushie that I also made for a former
friend. I freehanded the whole thing and I wish I knew how much time it
took to finish it. It still looks pretty good, though I think I could do
a better job when it comes to the ears.

1) Some things I made for myself. A wreath which we had on our front door
until the wind destroyed it and a bag that... I didn't line with any
fabric and the crochet granny squares suffered from it. I just never
learn.
2018
Made a small geography-inspired giraffe for a university course which
was probably the most fun I had in any university course tbh. I even
have some progress pics!
Here are some current in-progress stuff I'm making! I decided to use up
some old yarn I still had to make a big spiral blanket (found the
pattern on etsy and it's been a lot of fun so far). I also chose to make
4 gradient scarves for me and my friends, totally underestimating how
long it takes to knit something with *super thin yarn*. I'll get
there... but wow, it will be a miracle if I get these done before next
winter.
These are only some of the pictures I have, if you want to see more go follow me on
bsky or on
neocities 🤗 I'm more active there.
