i tried an hour challenge for motivation | crafting, knitting, printing |
I was feeling less than motivated today, so I set myself a challenge. There's nothing like trying to knit while watching a clock count down...ha
It did actually kind of work though! even if i did pepper in lots of chores/home activities in. etween hour challenges. It's something I'm going to try doing more frequently!

vintage knits | all things frog: vintage knitting and crochet | attempting a mystery pattern 🐸
Переглядів 2,3 тис.21 день тому
In the second instalment of my Vintage Knits (& Crochet) series I've decided to do a two parter. And they have a special theme: frog! I've always loved frogs, with this love stemming from taking home tadpoles in year 4 at school, and watching them grow into tiny frogs which we released in my yard. Now as an adult, I'm showing my deep appreciation for our amphibious friends by making cute (and s...

This was a busy-fun weekend! Sunday was spent holding a stall at a farmers market, as part of a special craft and artisan market day. This market was surrounded by rolling green hills, filled with happy market folk and the weather was bliss! I had such a lovely time there and was thoroughly content. The next day I travelled into town to explore some op shops, collecting supplies for upcoming pr...

Welcome to my new mini series: Vintage Knits! I'll be trying out vintage patterns, with the end goal of filling my wardrobe with decades of different styles. Today we're working on this mysterious/gimmicky '3 hour sweater'. Can I complete a knitted top in three hours? Possibly. Will the actual knit time be revealed in the video? Almost definitely. This pattern was a fun find on thevintagepatter...

    😂 Sorry to laugh but your dangerous winter weather looks like a normal day of a British summer, but your warmer😂 crazy world. I feel your pain and also the customers that missed out on your gorgeous makes. Was it your home made dyes that you stamped the chooks on socks..... Great idea. Love your vids, well chill me out, even when your stressing out to get things done. When is your next market? ✌️❤

      Oh trust me, we got the winds later in the day, and it would have been a very challenging market! Chasing my stock flying away would have made for a terrible Sunday 😂😂 Next market will be in August and is thankfully indoors. Thank you so much for watching 💛💛

    That 't IJ sweater is a long way from home!! Can confirm that their craft beers are excellent. Perhaps the froggy hat could do with moving the eyes down lower and wider set to make it look more cute and less creepy? Since perhaps your head is not at child height and when you look down his eyes just...appear... (I do love it though, creepy and all)

    • @silkandsticks
      @silkandsticks 18 днів тому

      I sampled them back in 2018! Not a bad drop at all 🍻 I've added a little mouth to the frog beanie. I think it 5 10% less creepy 😂 thanks for watching!

    I love your vintage knits episodes. And I love being in your 70's vintage vibe world, being a child of the 70's myself. Did you make your wine colored cardigan or was that a vintage find? I love the shape of it. If you didn't make it would you consider replicating it or designing a pattern?

    • @silkandsticks
      @silkandsticks 23 дні тому

      Ah thank you so much! I have plenty more planned! The Cardigan is one of my treasures, Tasmanian made and a bargain at the op shop. I could definitely find a similar pattern for it, I'll keep you posted 💛

    I made my son a similar style hat years ago, except his was a turtle! 🐢 The hat itself was the shell and I made the head and legs 3D and stuffed and stitched them on, along with a teeny tail! He loved it and wore it for several years. The kids in his class all loved it, too!

    • @MrsBrit1
