HERE’s A SIGN TO TRY THAT THING YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF!

if you’ve watch my Fashion Weeks knits reviews you know: i love ā€œlace knitā€ and i always do it manually even though o have a lace carriage just because i don’t know how to use said carriage, well i really want to knit a relatively bit project with a lace stitch and i cannot justify the time i’ll take manually so yesterday i did it… i took out the literal dust from my lace car and tried to knit with it and surprise: i did it AND IT WAS EASY, well it was a lot easier that i was making it out to be!

i recorded the process because i thought it would be interesting but it’s too long for a short so you can watch it on my insta (linked here)

this is so much fun! i’ll be making loads of lacy projects from now onšŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

DESIGN WITH ME!
i’m about to start making a dress to wear tomorrow at christmas eve dinner and I’m not sure of the design i’m going for! i kinda want to look like a christmas treešŸ˜…
the yarn i have is like this eyelashy yarn in the sample but green! i kinda want to make the sleeves but not sure if i have enough yarn, that’s why i’m thinking of making the sleeves separately, like a shawl, also i would be able to wear just the sleeves more often then a whole long sleeve christmas tree looking dress… idk, let me know your opinions, but do it fastšŸ˜©šŸƒšŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøā€āž”ļø

Good evening everyone!!

I’m making this post just to share where I’ve been when it comes to my videos and
why it has been a while since my last post😬

Some of you might be expecting the part 2 of my Irish crochet coat (since I told you guys that its fully done and I just need to edit the videos) and that is what I meant to post next, but as I was about to start editing part two, Taylor swift wore that fun crochet dress and I could not help myself and had to make one for myself! so making the dress and editing the video for it took me whole a week.

Since so many people were taking about this ā€œTaylor Crochet Dressā€ and the dress has a relatively easy pattern I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for me to do something I’ve always wanted to do with my videos, that is a separate video tutorial for complete beginners with step by step + some *fun animated graphics* with the patterns.

So I started working on that straight away after I posted my vlog making the dress, However, as fun as making these *animated graphics* seem, they take a long time to make. And making these graphics + some other work stuff made me not able to finish a video for the past week.

Now enough time has passed that there are so many amazing tutorials up for this dress that it is kinda pointless to finish mine (I would also need at least two more days of graph making to have everything I need)
So I’m scraping that video ( which is kinda annoying for the amount of hours I put in it, but I’m sure I’ll use the graphs in some other video) and going back to my Irish crochet coat!!

All of that to say expect an Irish crochet learning and making the coat video in a couple of days, I plan on posting it Thursday, Sunday at the latest!

Hope you all are having and continue to have an amazing (or at least good) week!
see you all In a couple of daysā¤ļø

hey everyone!!! long time no see :( and i’m sorry for that😭 (new video coming tomorrow!!!😃)

here’s were i’ve been😬:

right after i filmed the last youtube video i posted here (styling the grey/ brown vest) i started working on a big crochet project, (see photos 4-5) inspired by a viral tiktok that went around early this year, and that project took me 1 month to make, after that month i had over 15 hours of footage to edit (and try to make it concise and entertaining).

right when i started that editing process i had a festival to attend and if you’ve watched a few of my videos you’ll know i just love a last minute full outfit diy momentšŸ˜… so i took a couple of days to make said outfit (photos 1-3 + video coming tomorrowšŸ‘€)

and then i kinda had a little europe trip i had planned with my friend sort of last minute ish (i did take some of my diys with me so i’ll be making a little video showing my creations in europe😬) and in the trip i made the decision to enjoy it fully, i hadn’t had a big trip like this since before the pandemic, so i didn’t really find time to edit and post here (or anywhere really😭)

and once i got back i had a offline project i had to deliver, so didn’t find much time to make my videos…

but this past week i sat down to edit and plan some fun things for y’all!! this platform has grown so much since i last posted a full video (thanks for all the shorts watchers who subscribed😬) and i would like to thank you all for subscribing!! I have loads and loads of videos i want to make and bring here, really hope to entertain and maybe even inspire you all with my crafty, clothes making, knitting content!!!

and do let me know if there’s any kind of content you want from me!!

anyway long text, but it felt weird posting after 2 months with no explanation… the video coming tomorrow is my festival outfit i made last minute! it’s a vlog style but i did try to include useful tutorial bits in between (let me know if they’re actually useful pls) is a crochet + sewing +machine knit combo!! this one is coming before the crochet jacket because it was easier to edit🤪 hope you all like it🧔🧔🧔🧔🧔🧔🧔🧔🧔
