If it's fiber-related I'm probably into it. Knitting, spinning yarn, needlefelting, sewing, weaving, crochet....Science Nerd. Tuxedo cat. Inclusivity. LGBTQ+ Ally. Black Lives Still Matter.

My very first attempt at banh gio! A steamed pork dumpling. Turned out pretty good! To help reduce my cholesterol, I used half vegan Ground beef, half pork. Also, experimented with konjac/glucomannan powder in the dumpling batter.

Meet Noah! I adopted him yesterday. He's estimated to be 2yo. Very sweet, outgoing, and curious.

There isn’t just one way to work short rows #knitsky and choosing the right method can be the difference between tidy shaping and frustrating gaps.Β 

I’ve put together a go-to Short Row Knitting Guide to help!

Woman wearing handmade hat (she made it!) And crocheted ear muffs (I made them for her!). Ear muffs have a flower design. 

Pattern: Overall, well written pattern. In the round where the petals are  made, my count was consistently higher as compared to the pattern. So I ended up with 7 petals, instead of 6. Since it didn't really affect the final product, I went with it. 

Overall, guage is not entirely crucial, as it's easy to adjust the pattern to make the muff fit tje earuff forms that I had. So, it's easy enough to use fingering (I doubled-the fingering) or worsted. 

I used ear muff frames from this source: https://www.jonesandvandermeer.com/products/ear-muff-frames.html?searchid=0&search_query=Ear+mu

I love its gentle curves and top-down raglan, honestly, it makes a first sweater project fun and approachable rather than terrifying!Β Β
