Slowly coming along. Can anyone guess what the theme of this scarf is yet?

WIP

The edges are looking rough but this is my first time "twisting" the yarn to make sure the sides don't separate. Hopefully blocking at the end will help even them out.

Who knows they may look perfect by the end of the scarf with all this practice

WIP Wednesday

I've decided to start a knitted project🥰. This is made using "double knitting" i'm working both the front and back at the same time. Both sides will have the same images except the colors will be reversed. I've wanted to try it for awhile but was always intimidated by the videos. It isn't perfect but i'm enjoying the process.

Amigurumay Day 9 : Weekend WIP

Another weekend out waiting for my son to finish classes. Starting a new project (1 of many🫣). For days like this i enjoy projects that don't require many items. No stuffing, no stitch markers. 1 yarn and 1 hook. I didn't even bring my scissors🥰.

This project will hopefully turn into a plain tote bag which i can cross stitch images on at the end. I've uses this technique previously for coin purses(2nd picture.

Amigurumay Day 8 : My Signature

Whether i'm creating a pattern, testing a pattern or just love a pattern. I will make it in multiple sizes using different yarn and hooks.

It's fun to see how the shapes change. When using thick plush yarn it can appear more blob/squishy because of the stretch.
Vs
When using thin yarn which is usually more stiff and able to show the shapes better.

Amigurumay Day 7: Market or Collect

I'm unsure which I would pick🤔. I enjoy making and participating in markets. I also enjoy making some items for myself and my kiddo to keep.

But I think the more accurate option would be "Love". Love of the craft. Love of creating. Love of the joy I see on the faces when i've created the perfect custom piece for someone. Not every piece will be perfection for everyone, but as long as that one person feels joy when they hold their plush, doll, blanket, etc😍.

Amigurumay Day 4: Introduce Yourself

Hi😊, i'm Victoria the face behind If Nan Knit Ya. My main craft is crochet, i do knit occassionally as well. If you follow along you'll probably see some other craft related things sneak in from time to time.
I've always enjoyed freehanding items so last year i started writing down and selling my patterns on etsy. This has led me down a road where i've met so many wonderful makers. 🥰
