A new headdress that I made during a course recently. It’s inspired by a traditional Swedish folk crown, called a Lad. Mine is not very traditional, other than it being traditional to make it as shiny as possible on a wool base.

I was inspired by the myth of Argos Panoptes, the giant who have his eyes to the peacock feathers in Greek mythology. You look at my hat, my hat looks right back.

To be honest this was an amazingly fun stash bust and I got to try out mirror sewing and beading in ways I hadn’t before. 10/10 will be doing another one.

A blue crescent shaped headdress on a dark background. It has a ribbon at the end tied in an upside down bow. The headdress is decorated with sequins and mirrors and beads in a pattern that looks like peacock feathers.

Detail closeup of the embroidery. The middle of the peacock feather is a googly eye surrounded by reflective tape, beading, and embroidery in purple, cream and blue, with sequins at the edging. Above the rim of the headdress there are little beaded wands that’s stand straight up.

🧶🧶🧶 Getting ready to do the Romi Hill MKAL - Funston, a shawl, starting May 23rd. Each swatch is actually two colors held together to get a heavy fingering-sport weight. The stash delivers!

Highly recommend Romi's MKALs. Great support via forums and videos. And, the designs always have clever new techniques and tips. Anyone interested in joining me? Here's the link:

I got a request to do a pair of oven mitts to match a multi coloured tile kitchen. At the time I was fixating on quilting and the two combined into the same idea.

I love the snake-y pattern on the mitts so much that I’m considering making a dress with the same concept. Slow fashion, resource management, and quilting is a hot topic in my circles at the moment.

🧶🐔🧶🐔🧶 Another Emotional Support Chicken!

Using scrap yarn, this is 1st one I've made of wool (v. acrylic). I must say it's a much more pleasant knitting experience - 2 strands fingering held together on US2 needles, so very tight, but wool gives some spring.

Still, my upper arms and shoulders hurt! It's OK, I'm knitting off anxiety, and it's a workout my muscles need.
