Is it too late to be posting spooky stuff?
This took me like a week to stitch, another week for my fingers to heal up, and then I went and forgot to post it 😭
My first ever hand embroidery piece. Not too shabby, I reckon! Good tree 😁
My official last project for the extended #FallFinishAlong. Roll on the next one!

@Timecircleline Oh that is cool! I've actually never tried double knitting so can't advise there, but all I'll say is a month ago you probably didn't think socks would be so easy either...
@annascrafts @discworld Reading your first DW book should totally count for the makealong somehow.
You'd be making...um...treasured literary memories? 😅
@discworld My personal plan is a pair of Eskarina Socks (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/eskarina-socks) and a cross stitched Errol (https://www.ebay.com/itm/122196806696)
But am admittedly rethinking my self-imposed "no shawls" rule due to this https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lady-margolatta 🤔
Spooky Halloween shirt complete!
Husband has always fancied a proper cool Halloween shirt, so I picked this fabric in secret and banned him from the sewing room until it was complete.
I could only afford the absolute bare minimum yardage, and didn't have much control over pattern placement (also no room for cutting errors, eek!)
But it all worked out and as of tonight he's seen it and tried it on and appears to love it. All good!
I will get proper posed photos at some point but for now here it is on my decidedly more curvy dress form!
Main annoyance is that my topstitching is a bit wonky, and I'm normally pretty good at topstitching. Oh well.

Given how much I enjoy knitting socks, encourage others to try knitting socks, and basically never stop talking about knitting socks, I thought you might all appreciate the project notes from my first ever socks.
50p sheet into an entire holiday outfit!
Yep. Fifty pence in a charity shop, you literally can't go wrong.
I made this over the summer in preparation for our big family holiday, and remember I had to ask for help with gathering over at @sewing because it was being a nightmare and I am a noob. Worked out pretty well in the end, though! (Thank you Lemmy folks for the advice)
Lots of firsts with this skirt! Well, two firsts. I put pockets into a pattern that didn't have them, and also drafted a curved waistband so it would actually fit. Felt pretty pro after all that, I won't lie 😎
Patterns are the Cali Skirt and Ellie Bralette from https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/NHPATTERNS, and I was about to shoutout @wisbr for enabling me with that link in the first place, but she seems to have gone and now I'm sad 😢

@jkirkendall @knitting Feeling pretty left out and somewhat peer pressured by everyone learning this lately, but sometimes peer pressure is a good thing 😁
Congrats!
