Vintage yarn find

A friend of mine found this skein in a bag full of yarn and knitting needles and crochet hooks in a dumpster. After a little bit of searching the web I came to the conclusion that it's probably from the forties or fifties, when the brand "Sjöberg-garn" existed. Pretty neat huh!? 

Day 55; washi tape tea candles

Cute!

Day 54; a shawl

I finished this last night but I was so furious with it that I didn't want to take a picture of it until today. Because I didn't have enough yarn and had to redo it like a gazillion times.

It's made of colinette tao and... parisienne? The mohair one. Colorway marble. I LOVE tao some much. And colinette in general. I ordered four more skeins from amazon. I might redo the bindoff when they arrive if moss (the colorway I ordered) works.

Day 53; a bracelet

Glass beads and tiny bells! I'm quite pleased. 

Penguin jumpers

"Life is short and black and white just like little penguins" Pharrel once said. Now I don't agree with that but I do think it sounds pretty funny.

A penguin reservation outside Australia needs jumpers! I'm gonna make one. 

Day 52; a tube hat/scarf thing!

Day 51; a ratty drawing

Sometimes I write a bit. I'm better at making up places and people than an actual story so I'm not sure my writing will ever become a book, but it's fun to fiddle with my very own reality. It's a fantasy story set in a world that is quite detailed but sadly also quite uneventful. This is a quick sketch of a person who's not even a character. She lives in a huge city in the middle of a vast desert. Her kind is the result of some crazy magic shit. They live alongside humans but are as despised as furries are in our world. 

So yes, she's part rat, and I'm not a furry. I was thinking about not including the rat people in my not-really-a-story but I decided that fuck it, I want rat people. It's my story. I'm not a furry. 

With and without ink.
