Tawashi

I made most of these tawashi from Japanese patterns.
The yarn is from Daiso
and is anti-bacterial acrylic
that is specifically made for tawashi.

This is a project in progress, from a Japanese pattern,
for a brooch.
I'm using a size C hook and cotton thread.

Random Stripe Generator

This has to be one of the coolest things
that I have found on the internet,
as a tool for knitters or crocheters.
You plug in the colors of your yarn stash
and then it generates a random stripe pattern.
It is sooooo cool! I love it!
Thank you to Biscuits and Jam who created it.
I want to use it to create a blanket pattern for my leftover yarns.

the latest




This is the latest project on the needles. It's a Japanese pattern, and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora. The yarn is left over from another sweater that I made two years ago. It has been quite a few years since I have made a cabled sweater. The bobbles are pretty funny looking.
