I have several projects on the go right now that are in various states of unfinished. I'd like to share some of them today, to give an insight into my workflow or just generally what I'm working on, since I don't have finished ones to share at the moment.
I have two crochet projects I'm actively working on these days. I have a hexagon sweater that've had in the works for several weeks now that's kind of a fall-back, low-stress project. I'm using Hobbii Universe, which is a very pretty but very fine yarn that takes a long time to work up. The resulting fabric is gorgeous and delicate, though, so I think it'll turn into a beautiful sweater once I'm done.
I'm feeling mixed about the extension of the sleeve I've done, and I'm strongly considering frogging it back to the edge of the hexagon and working more rounds all the way around, partially also because the back doesn't seem very wide. The only issue is that this is my last ball of the Hobbii Universe, and I don't want to have to do main body sections using my border colour - which is a solid dark green with no sparkle.
It's a gradual process, and I'm deliberately taking my time with it so I can feel good about what I've made.
The other project I have on the go is much more typical of my crochet makes, and that is an otter plushie! I love how cute it's turning out, and I know exactly how I'm going to finish it, I just have to do so. The one part I have to figure out still is how I want to design the shell it'll be holding, but that shouldn't be any trouble, really. I have a good idea of what I want. So far I've made the head (with the eyes and mouth added), body, and tail, which are all one piece, as well as the legs which aren't sewn on yet. Then I'm going to make the arms, little ears, and the shell it's holding.
In other art, I've been attending a weekly pottery class on Thursdays and I've been enjoying it immensely! I've made several things that I'm really happy with, and some I even use as practical additions to my household!
The one I use the most is a plate with clovers on it, which I use for my on-the-go coffee spoon and such.
I've also made various other things, like this fish decoration that's hanging on the wall over the bathtub. I'd like to fill the pocket with potpouri or crocheted fake plants or something.
My biggest accomplishment, however, definitely goes to the dragon teapot that I spent a full three weeks of classes working on! In high school art class, I attempted to make a dragon teapot, but I didn't think about the functionality of the design enough so it didn't really work out, so I wanted to revisit the idea and make a vastly improved one. I definitely think I achieved my goal! My only issue is that I made it so small that it doesn't hold much tea.
That brings us to drawing and painting, which I feel has been my most lackluster category of creation lately. I've done some sketches that are fun or whatever, but I haven't done as many finished designs as I would like, especially since I want to have more options to print as art cards. But that can always be remedied in time, and for now I'll share some of my recent drawings.
So those are the highlights of my recent and current creations! I hope you enjoyed this insight into my latest makes, and remember to check back here for more crochet patterns, writing, and updates!
