**Cross posted from my journal, some weaving and knitting patter.**

So it's been over a month since I posted any thing crafty. I've certainly been crafting, I just haven't had any big finishes. I often think of my crafting approach as "kicking the can down the road." Lots of little steps, sometimes without significant progress.
So here's the cans I've been kicking. )

Hello!

I started learning to knit three days ago, and am working on doing multiple rows of knit stitch on some giant plastic needles made for kids.

I am enjoying myself so far! We shall see how far this journey takes me!

I just snagged the Humble Bundle quilting and embroidery bundle, 17 books on quilting (mostly with precuts), crazy quilting, sashiko and embroidery. I bought it because I wanted Purr-fect Patchwork, which is worth more than the whole bundle itself, but I'm excited to check out most of the titles.

The bundle is about $US20 (I see it in my own currency) and is available for the next 17 days.

Humble have also just released a knitting bundle, $US20 for 17 knitting books available for the next 10 days.

Hello! I'm new here. I followed a link from Ysabetwordsmith's blog.

I don't usually post here. I usually live at Blogspot or Substack. And I don't usually post photos.

I do, however, knit, and if I took digital photos to ost, they'd be of knitted work.

Meanwhile it's fun to see what others are makng.

I was browsing through the photos I've uploaded to dreamwidth to see which cross stitch pieces I've posted to my journals and which I haven't yet, and came across a photo of my favourite sweater, so I thought I'd share it here. I've made this design 5 times over the years, twice for my sister with a sage green background, and three times for myself, this one, a lighter blue, and a rust colour.

The design isn't actually knitted in, because I'm not good at that, it's stitched on afterwards using the Swiss darning technique, which follows the knitting stitches so it just LOOKS knitted. I've made quite a few picture sweaters using this technique. I like the extra thickness it gives on the front.
