Did I need a new hobby? Probably not... but here's me trying to learn how to solder a Christmas tree...

Will I finish this summer dress before another summer is over?

I finished the Ananke top back in May, blocked and everything, then realized I didn't like how it fitted me... so I frogged everything and kept only the hem, and started again. Now I'm trying to wing it as I go along 😬

Astrid Mini Dress - Pt. 2 In the last post, we left off with some construction decisions to be taken. After much pondering, googling, and scribbling, here’s the verdict: Flat Top down Raglan Now, this will require a lot of winging it. Do I have the skills to pull it off? Likely not, what I do have is an (un)healthy dose of obsessive behaviour/hyperfixation. Problem with hyper fixation is that soon something else comes in leading me onto some other project, but I managed to get started after a lot of intense math and research....

New (hopefully) quick project:
Pattern: Easy Crochet Hat by Nicky Blade on Raverly
Yarn: Fonty Mongolia 5 (wool&yak)

First time crocheting a hat, so I’m enjoying it so far as it’s something new.

Spot the differences 😅
First pair of color work socks finished with a few imperfections. I was trying to be the second sock syndrome by switching the colors, but I didn’t realise the two yarns had a slightly different weight, so the second one is smaller. I also think my tension was a bit tighter.
The other opsie happened this morning, and I blame it on since I’ve been awake since 3am 😅 Somehow I lost the start of the row, and the toe is now flipped. I only realising when casting off, and decided it was fine as anyway this pair is a bit wonky already.

Ready for next pair!
Also, these need to be blocked, hopefully it’ll help with the size mismatch.
