Flat lay photo showing the right side seam of sweater. The front and back sweater pieces lay next to each other to show how a large banana motif flows from the front to the back across the seam.

I am STOKED that the banana motifs match up along the sides 😄

Frontnanas 🍌🍌

So. Much. Banana.

Backnanas is done! 😀

OMG I need this hat! 😍

A top-down view of a 25L stock pot full of raw apricot jam ingredients. A large wooden paddle is partially in the fruit mix.

I made some jam. THE BEST JAM. A modest 7.3L of jam. 🥄🍑.

8.73kg apricot flesh
3.52kg sugar
2 vanilla pods
100 cardamom pods
167ml yuzu extract

Have the duckies returned??

🤣 It'll be "high fashun"

OMG your MKAL is looking amazing! All the hours spent weaving in ends is going to be soooo worth it 😍

It definitely feels more like a weaving project right now! 😂🫣

SO. MUCH. BANANA! 🤣

Close up view of the back of a half-finished sweater. Intarsia-knit in the flat. There are about 100 loose yarn ends to weave in.

Flat lay view of a half-finished hand-knit sweater in blush pink. The sweater is covered in psychedelic banana motifs in red, orange, hot pink, turquoise and black coloured yarns.

It's a yarn yeti on this sweater already,

mom's spaghetti.

Close up image of the WIP banana sweater showing about 20 rows of the intarsia colourwork done. A bazillion strands of loose working yarn is hanging off the back in a giant yarn yeti blob.

Banana Sweater is... bananaering! 🍌. My knitting tension is all over the place but once the loose ends are woven in and the finished piece is blocked it'll be much better 🤞🫣🤞. I'm about 4% complete 🤣 #knitsky #bananasweater

An illustration showing bright pink, red, orange and teal bananas on a light pink background. A translucent drawing of a sweater in white outline has been laid on top.

Epic knitting project for 2026 - a psychedelic banana sweater! I created the design based off the RTW Colourful Bananas Cardigan by Farm Rio 🍌. It's been WIP for 4 months now and I'm currently on round 4(5?!) of creating the knitting charts. I ended up writing an app to help pixelate it 😂 #knitsky

🤣🤣🤣

Flipping the bird in a holy house of thy lord.

🙃🤌

Love it 😂. Hope your ankle heals up quickly though!
Thoughts and...prayers? 🤪

Oh my geeeerd! Did they have... errr... "free samples" ? 🤣

Thanks 😄 I learnt by watching youtube videos. reading blogs/instagram posts by other lingerie sewists. There's lots of resources online for beginner bra makers!

Am I doing this right??

For this week's #showmeyourknits (week 68: floof/held-together floof) I'm holding my FLOOF while wearing our knitted floofs 😂.

These hats are knit with Rowan Felted Tweed + Rowan Kidsilk Haze held together.

Combining cosy loungewear with lingerie lace and Spring energy 🌸 . This is a new take on my favourite sweatshirt, featuring a mono-cup bustier twist 💜

Using a self-drafted sweatshirt & lace applique patterns 😄.

It's HUUUUGE!!!

Flat lay photo of the Front of a smoky-purple sweatshirt that has been appliqued with an embroidered floral tulle lace and outlined with colourful satin elastic. The lace and elastic are in pastel purple, coral, pink and green tones.

Oooo I actually have something for #sewandtell this week!

This is my current WIP - a mauvey-purple sweatshirt, appliqued with a lace bustier motif and trimmed with colourful satin elastic. 💜

It feels like Spring! 💐

Even though we have a heavy rain + gale force wind warnings today 😱

Swedish mallard ducks! They're everywhere! 🦆🦆🦆

Photo of a ragdoll cat wearing a sage-green corduroy jacket against a white background. The cat is sitting up looking off to the side. He looks very cool.

Flat lay photo of a cat-sized sage-green corduroy jacket. The back is shown to mimic the look of a human jacket with "chest" pocket flaps and silver snap fasteners down a faux button placket. A small-ish yellow banana has been placed on top. I added the banana for scale.

Photo of a ragdoll cat wearing a sage-green corduroy jacket with his back to the camera. He has turned his head slightly to look backwards towards the camera to curse me and my ancestors.

Here's the modelled photos of the catwalk corduroy coat!

Taro tolerates my shenanigans very well, but I'm pretty sure he cursed me and all my ancestors.

Two corduroy jackets laid flat on a white background. A baby jacket in smoky-green corduroy is partly covered by an even smaller sage-green corduroy jacket on top. The smaller sage-coloured jacket is for a slim ragdoll cat.

Flat-lay photo of the back of a sage-green corduroy jacket against a white background. The jacket has decorative silver snap fasteners along a centre placket and there are two functional "chest" pockets with flaps. The flaps have also been decorated with a silver cap rivet to mimic a smaller snap button.

I did it!
I made a Catwalk Corduroy Coat 🤣.

For the long noodle cat (didn't have enough fabric for the chonky one).

This is...

inevitable.

Small corduroy jacket in a smoky-green colour lying on a white background. An average-sized yellow banana is lying on top. I added the banana for scale. The jacket is very wee and cute. It is meant to fit a 3 year old.

Back view of a small corduroy jacket on a white background. Left arm of the jacket has been folded up so it looks like it is giving a high 5.

Made the cutest corduroy jacket for my baby nephew (not for my chonky cat, I swear 😂). It’s the Legend Jacket by FibreMood and has lots of cool details: collar stand, sleeve vent & functional chest pockets... but mini! I sized it up so he can rock it next winter 🍂👶.

#sewsky #sewcialists #fibremood

So cool! And less nails than I imagined! 🤔

The whole time I'm wearing it I can exclaim I'M INVISIBLE! because camo is so stealthy 😜

Denim jacquard parka modelled on a mannequin in from of white doors. The jacquard is in a textured abstract camo pattern in contrasting light blue and navy threads. The jacket has two large gusseted chest pockets with pocket flaps and two large gusseted hip pockets with slanted side openings. The waist is cinched in with a drawstring. The sleeves are fitted with shoulder tabs and there are long buckled sleeve straps at the cuffs.

Side view of a denim jacquard parka, modelled on a mannequin in front of white doors. The neon yellow snap fastener at the shoulder tab and the neon yellow eyelets of the sleeve strap are visible against the blue jacket fabric. You can see that the sleeve strap at the cuff is overly long by design.

Closeup partial inside view of a denim camo jacquard jacket lying against a white background. A hand can be partially seen in the bottom corner, holding the front facing edge of the jacket. The facing edge and hem has been bound with a bright neon yellow bias tape.

First time sewing a Grasser pattern and I’m so happy with how this jacket turned out! 💙 Loved playing with texture + neon yellow accents.
