When its almost midnight and your brain won't let you sleep what else do you do but have some fun with your pencils and water? One day I'll actually work consistently on improving my very basic drawing skills but for now it is good for my brain to just use some beautiful colours.

Hmmm.... guess I should have counted my stitches a little more regularly (instead of not at all)... 11 stitches shy of the actual 523 stitches there are meant to be on my needles. Luckily this is just for me as I'm working on improving my wearable creations. I usually make them too big or too small and for knitting I am learning to do a swatch to remedy the sizing issues! I'm hoping to reach a stage where I can knit well fitting cardigans or jumpers that suit my body and style. Now I also know to do a stitch count more regularly!
Note: all the stitch markers mark repeats in the pattern and then I have different markers marking every 100 stitches which I got to by marking every 20... yep that takes dedication 🤣... not to just be as dedicated from the get go...lesson learnt

Which knitting style do you prefer? English, Continental or something else? I find my stitches get even tighter with Continental so I practice on pieces I'm making for myself until I get better. I do like that it is less movement in my arms so better for cramped spaces like public transport etc.

So I'm going to be quiet for a month or so as we are in the throws, once again, of looking for a new rental due to owner's selling. Really hoping for a longer term rental this move after 3 moves in 4 years due to the same reason. Very over moving 😮‍💨

Almost there with the lavender stems... the clock just hit 12:21am, time to knock off for the night after a day spent between crochet and a vomiting child. The boys of life 🫠
