Dream wardrobe week 3, 25th June 2020

Good day everyone, oh my, I haven't been very productive this week, especially clothing wise. I have been doing much research for my final school project, which I will soon start making youtube videos for. Honestly, I just wanted to make sure I uploaded this week, but don't have much to tell you, so let's get through this quickly. I am working on some socks for my boyfriend and I am crocheting some doylies. The crochet makes me so happy again. It is way too hot to knit or crochet all the time, so I haven't started any new works. I did finish another pair of socks for myself last weekend, so now I have got 3 pairs of knitted socks, it makes me very happy. One last thing I wanted to mention is that my boyfriend has gotten me some double pointed needles and a woolwinder, so much more knitting fun to come! ps. Please stay safe with all the heat, corona and BLM going on! Jayden

Goodday everyone, how is everyone doing? This week gave me a lot of motivation and I have finished 2 projects. Also I've got a lot in the planning, so let's start. WIP'S: I am working on a new pair of socks once again, in the same yarn as one of my FO'S. I'm also crocheting something for my art class, which I will have finished by next week. Furthermore, I haven't really been working on my poncho or my black sweater. FO'S: Yes, I've actually accomplished something this week, and even took some pictures! I present to you, my new sweater and new pair of socks! The sweater was inspired by the Woodsmoke pattern on revelry, which I linked to last week. The socks are a pattern I was taught to knit socks with. I use a Dutch heel on my socks. Future works: well, in this section I have some exiting news for you... My final year project will be making a documentary about late-victorian clothing, so I'll be knitting and sewing away. When I get ...

My dream wardrobe, week 1, 11-6-2020

Hello everyone and welcome back, This week, a bit of a different concept already, because I've been figuring some things out. I've been thinking about my clothing a lot, and have finally decided where I would like to go with my style. That mainly means: different crafts, research and ofcourse, my clothing. I will be posting pictures here when I've finished something, but ofcourse you can follow everything on my Instagram page @this.jayden . Alright, let's get into it. Sadly, no pictures of finished objects or previous objects yet, in about a week I will be going back to my house and once I'm there I will have the time, place, and resources to take pictures and upload them. Although.... maybe next week there will be a photo of one finished object... if I get it done.  My works in progress are a lot. Last week after uploading I started a new sweater, which is almost finished by now. I've chosen to use a dusty old pink for my yarn. The pattern is "Woodsmoke...

Knitted week, 4th June 2020

Good day everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I shall once again give you an update, sadly I still have no Finished Objects to take pictures of and put them on here, but hopefully that will be soon. So, let's get into it. So, my first work in progress is still my knitted sweater, sigh. I had to rip out the front panel when I was halfway, because only then I realized I made a mistake. I did get myself up and started all over again immediately, but I've only been able to do a few rows since then. I do hope to finish it before the summer is at its hottest, but we'll see I guess. Alright, my second work in progress is my poncho,on which I've been able to get quite some work done. I am currently over halfway the front and I'll probably be able to get quite a bit of work done on it this week. Again I will mention, the pattern can be found by using this link:  https://www.wolplein.nl/blog/tunische-poncho-cal/ Then, there is a bit of work coming up for school, I...

Knitted week, 28th May 2020

Good day everyone, Today I am starting a blog about all kinds of crafts I take part in. I will be sharing patterns I wrote myself and links to patterns of others. Never before have I been so productive, crafting wise. I don't get distracted as easily as before and get quite a lot of work done. Since a few weeks I have discovered the wonders of knitting podcasts on YouTube, furthermore I have discovered the wonderous world of ravelry. I. Am. In. Love. Never before was it so easy for me to have acces to a vast amount of patterns. Truly, if you have never been on there, please go have a look at ravelry.com . Now, what am I working on these days? First of all, I am making a poncho designed by wolplein.nl . It was a new technique for me and I am excited to get to work on it again. Second of all, I am knitting, yes, knitting, a sweater. For all who don't know me yet, I am a crochet artist mostly, but now I knit. I am knitting a sweater out of black yarn I received years ago a...
