knitting diary 05.01.24

I have been stewing a post for a couple of months containing some items I finished or was almost done with, but at this point, because I have procrastinated some of the projects a little too long, I am just going to write a knitting diary instead of holding on to a draft.  Hoping to finish a few more things to put in that post soon so that I can share something more interesting than just a diary!

My current projects are smaller, including a collection of pillow covers I have been making for my parents' couches.  My mom specifically requested 9 pillows in 3 shades of blue, so 3 of each.  Here is one of them; I made 2 more but didn't photograph them.  I also made some pink covers for her decorative bed pillows, which I took hasty photos of just to have them in my Ravelry page.  

Take it from me, they do look much nicer when they have a pillow inside of them and aren't in awkward low light! 

This will be in my next post about finished objects, but I completed a. really fun test knit for Crow & Finch, which has now become one of my favorite finished objects and I have been wearing it to everything.  It was made using - you guessed it - Knit Picks yarn! 

I can't wait to have more stuff to show off on my blog but I figured for the sake of keeping it active and not looking like I dropped it (again), I would write out some of what I've been working on!
