Crafty is Cool

This is not a knitting account! BUT I taught myself to knit and made this cowl to chronicle our trip to Japan. Tree and basic cowl pattern from book by , the rest just made up. From bottom is autumn tree for the beautiful ones in Kyoto, Mickey head from our trip to , little pink deer inspired by this folder and our trip to Nara, torii gates from Fushimi Inari, and the elusive Mt Fuji which we saw on our Shinkansen ride back to Tokyo. So many different yarns. stroll for yellow and gray background, for the Disney background, and a fun box of minis I got from for the rest, purchased for a steal on Amazon (Link in stories)
Now I need to do one just for the food!

Things I’ve made this month ♥️ Knitting is so therapeutic for me, maybe because it isn’t my job. Of course crocheting will always be my favorite.
1) Not pictured because it was gruesome: My black chicken Shelly was injured and I stitched up her neck. She’s my favorite. Two weeks later she started laying eggs and I made this coffee cup cozy of her. I love ! So fun. Still learning how to get even floats.
2) Made my first sweater using Tosh Vintage in our collab yarn. Pattern and the sweater was still wet from blocking 🫠
3) Also used that fun blanket yarn to make a blanket for in-laws.
4) cookies! Recipe from ❄️
5) Used I got at to crochet a scarf for my son.
I made other stuff but life is complicated right now and I forget to take photos 🤦‍♀️
What’s your favorite thing you made for the season?? I love handmade gifts and making, no matter what the craft. Hence the name, crafty is cool. I was always such a flighty crafter, later learned my adhd was a huge part of it, so when I named my business I was like ‘what if I switch from crocheting?? Better make it general’ That’s why it wasn’t “crochetiscool”
