I like knitting but I don't have a lot of free time so my progress can be pretty slow. Here's a sweater I made!

I'm also on ravelry; my username is wildbroccoli. So if you see that person adding you, that's me!

ugh, i REALLY wanna get into fibre arts, it's something i've been admiring from afar for YEARS. i can handsew halfway decently (at least when it comes to repairing stuff) and one day i wanna bite the bullet and grab a machine. i also occasionally get the hankering to pick up something else, either embroidery or crochet, but i dunno how good i'd be haha, and i'm scared it'd mess up my hypermobile joints :/

I have dabbled a tiny bit in needle-felting! I have to dig a bit to find more pictures, but here's a felted plush I made for my sister of Blinky the three-eyed fish from The simpsons! Needle-felting is very fun because you get to jab a pile of wool over and over til it becomes and cute thing!

Hey I do needle felting too!! Blinky is so cute - and the gnomes on that sweater are lovely! For my last birthday I was given a needle felting kit with instructions for the ugliest monsters ever XD I didn't want those in my home, so I decided to make nature themed things instead! I have made mushrooms(complete with some moss and dirt still attached to the root), a fox wearing a scarf, a frog with an orange parachute for my partner who loves frogs and the colour orange, a penguin, a little ninja for my friend, an easter rabbit with a vest, a gnome for my "aunt" to wear pinned to her scrubs at work for christmas(technically not related but my mums best friend and basically an aunt). Currently I am trying to make Marcus the worm for at least one, but hopefully I have time to complete two, for my friends who love the character I use those little crafting pipe cleaners, in various colours to attach the wool to, when I make stuff like the rabbit, gnome and Marcus, as I want the arms and legs to be long, sturdy and bendable! The fluff on the pipe cleaner is great for attaching the wool easier than just wire, which I have also seen used, I also would like to make birds, snails, and other nature themed creatures and things!!


I have a couple projects I want to complete before christmas, but after than I really want to re-learn knitting!! I have a bunch of unused yarn, and I have a bunch of ill.fitting sweaters from the womens' section I want to unwind the yarn of, and re-use! Sure , I could give them to the thrift store where they might get sold but more likely get shipped off to some far off beach :( but I'd rather guarantee a good use here!! A gnome sweater is such a great idea, I adore gnomes in folklore. We call them tomtar here in Sweden, we have house gnomes, forest gnomes, etc! It's an old tradition to leave out porridge for the house/farm gnomes to ecouragr them to help out around the home!

I might post photos of them later

I learned how to crochet all the way back in 2nd grade! Back then I liked to make amigurumis with my mom. Now I'm more interested in making wearables, and also picked up knitting along the way. I knitted a pair of socks last year.

I don't have a lot of pictures I can easily share, but here's me wearing some of my crocheted stuff:



I like my shawl, and there's a glimpse of a mesh sweater you can see on the first picture too, but the biggest thing here are my crochet fursuit parts:



Here's an unfinished amigurumi of my character, too.



There's a wire inside the trunk of this tree, but it wasn't strong enough to hold up their head once I started attaching leaves. I never finished making all the leaves, so they have a huge bald spot on the top of their head.
