Sock update! I'm 5 rows from finishing the full pattern repeat. I almost like the interior float side more than the knit side. It's been a little slow going, and I might change to a different pattern after the arch, one that I dont have to keep checking my chart for. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Working a mini-me at quarter scale so I can make mini mockups and use less fabric. And also maybe make mini cosplays. Ive got to double check the chest measurements before I sew then on, then i can work on the base #sewsky

Look at this handsome man chilling in my bed. Boy it must be nice to fully relax like that. This is your reminder to stretch and dance before bed #catsky

I dont normally post food, but at my request, Partner made chicken paprikash following @tastinghistory.bsky.social's video, but replacing the sour cream with goat yogurt for easier lactose digestion, and boy is this fantastic. Def a rec!

Occasionally, I have to leave some of my favorite #pixelart on the cutting room floor. I was really proud of capturing Vegeta's acting, and definitely heard @teamfourstar.bsky.social Lani's voice in my head while working on this. But since the DLC doesn't include lip flaps, Toei said to cut it.

Now that I've sorted out my cabbage, I think it's time to start on a new project. Im leaning toward waistcoat/suit vest, but im not sure which fabric. I already have trousers from the black pinstripe and the gray glenplaid (along with a haori). I thought laying out my ties would help. #sewsky

For my second felt pumpkin (part of the reason I didn't make the first one bigger), I'm using a pattern by Kamui Cosplay. This stiff felt is holding its shape as well as the foam the pattern was designed for. Guess I'll save the buckram for another project #craftsky #sewsky tbcont...

Inspired by watching @stephaniecanada.bsky.social hijink her way through making a felt pumpkin, I wanted to try too. I ordered some hat buckram and stiff felt. I wanted first to see how much difference having stiff felt would make. At this size, I dont think I need the buckram. #sewsky tbc...

Calm outside, chaotic inside! I did wind up having to piece a few smaller scraps in to maintain the pattern of the plaid. I do love how the stripes help the seams vanish. Now I just have to fold it over and top stitching to encase the raw edges. #sewsky #patchwork

Time to get patchy! Im going to have to piece together scraps to finish the waistband hem for my hoodie. But after laying out all my large pieces, I think i have enough without needing to get into the truly tiny scraps. #sewsky #patchwork

Scamp at 2 months old, snuggled in my scarf. At 3 months old, snuggled into my tanktop (already too big for it). Today at Nearly 4 years old, trying out my new hoodie for the first time. Nestled up on my chest has always been his happy place. #catsky

Just needs the hem. But for that, I actually have to modify the pants a bit. I'd made them with a bit too much fabric in the inseam, so I already sewed the corrected seam, but I never cut off the excess fabric. So tomorrow I can trim that finally and attach it to the hoodie hem #sewsky

Time to decide on the hem. I've cuffed the sleeves with the plaid, so I can do the same with the bottom, but the selvage of the gray fabric has a fun texture to it.
I've got some hand-stitching to do while I ponder. Opinions welcomed. #sewsky

Well, it's all one piece, but this is a game of thread-chicken I'm currently losing. Shopping trip tomorrow, and I can sew up the side seams and finish all the top stitching. I love the pawprints I added to the pocket! I still have to decide on a hem for the bottom. #sewsky

Opal was snuggled with Partner when I took earlier pics of all the kits being cozy, and I didn't want to disturb their nap. But she came to be a lovely pattern weight for me this evening. Thanks, sweetie girl. Also, happy 13th Birthday! #catsky

Shoulders with the straps and reinforcement sewn so I could pin the pocket and check the placement, and if I wanted to separate it into an upper section for cat and a lower section for hands. My 5lb Appa is standing in for the kits. This is mostly for couch or computer time snuggles #sewsky
