Another state fair project done! This is the Berry Sweater by Mon Petit Violon. I used Loops and Threads Soft Merino for it.

Getting the hang of this spinning thing finally. This fiber is stuff I carded myself at my friend's shop and then spun up. I'm calling the colorway Unicorn Snot.

Whoever said you can't crochet socks was wrong.
These turned out so lovely and I hate that it's too warm to wear wool socks right now.

Some more details:

These are worked flat, including the thumb. There are tutorial videos for the stitches and techniques but they have no commentary and are subtitled in Russian.

But I was able to figure it out in the end and I love them so much.

And yes. It's crochet. It's amazing it almost looks knitted. It's a very tricky pattern though.

It's not perfect, but it is handmade, so I don't care.
This is the bananasaurus from Emerald Rose Crochet and I love it so much. It'll be going off to my girlfriend sometime later this week.

Another state fair project done! This is the Verdant Spring Beanie and I used WeCrochet Heatherly Sport for it. This was my first time doing this kind of colorwork and I'm oddly proud of the inside of the hat because you cannot see my color changes.

Finished my first real attempt at spinning yarn! It's now drying and then I can use it! It's not the best, but it's usable for my first attempt.
I used the fiber Orchids from Divine Dyeworks on Etsy.

a screenshot of three spreadsheet charts. the one on the top left shows type of projects with three projects for hat, mittens, and amigurumi. It also shows two projects for cowls. The chart on the top right shows the status of the items. It shows 5 items for my store, three gifts, two commissions, and one sample. The chart on the bottom shows how many items I've finished each month of the year. It shows 11 items finished for the month of January so far.

I created a tracker to track my finished items (I also have a template I can share if people want it to use), and here is where things stand for the first week and a half of the new year.

It's wild to see how fast I am making things.

Getting the hang of this I think! I'm still very new at spinning, but I'm loving how it's turning out for basically my second attempt at it ever
My goal is to spin up some yarn and crochet with it.
