When I learned to knit 5 months ago I was expecting to make scarves, sweaters, and socks. I will definitely be making those but my heart (and time) has been stolen by making little guys instead.

Patterns left to right:
Lovely goose toy by maylily knits
Mochi cat by Mou Mou knits
Mou Mou Bears by Mou Mou Knits
Happy Bunny v.4 by Susan b. Anderson
I was able to source all yarn from goodwill:)

If anyone has any recommendations for similar stuffed animal knitting patterns please let me know!

This is actually my second time posting here with a button-preference related question! As you can probably tell, buttons are a matter of great importance and agonizing indecision for me😭
Thanks! Goose's name is Roger:)

Got this for 10$ in a record store in SF. Lots of super interesting stories, but ofc the Joni one was my favorite! I loved reading her little quotes and learning more about her. Lmk if anyone would like to see more pages.

"It's good to be exposed to politics and what's going on down here, but it does damage to me. Too much of it can cripple me. And if I really let myself think about it- the violence, the sickness,- all of it- I think i'd flip out."

Visited a couple flea markets this past weekend and came home with all these! Very excited since I am a new collector, probably only paid around 25$ in total for all. Unironically, my favorite find was actually the Mamma Mia soundtrack, with Pearl Jam MTV unplugged & Hejira as close seconds.
Yes the STP is a bootleg 😢

Thrifted a nice leather guitar strap and decided to use the section with the 'pick pocket' as the cover for a little memo pad. Used the spiral from an older used pad and cut some elastic for the pencil holder from some scrap jeans. Only downside is you have to make your own refills and tie them to the spiral.

Some 'Ed Sherry' had wrote his name on the piece I wanted to use, and since I couldn't remove it I just wrote mine under, hence the censorship haha. Ed if you see this sorry for putting you on blast.

18f: I've got huge, oily pores, mostly on my forehead and nose areas. It's not clear on camera but It's not an exaggeration to say almost every pore on my face has gunk that can be squeezed out daily. I've been fighting acne since elementary school and I think my forehead pores might be scarring and perhaps a chemical peel could help. Occasionally I coat my nose jn that pink drying lotion stuff overnight which does actually shrink my pores for a couple hours after waking but it's not a permanent solution.

I wash my face 3x a day plus toner, moisturizer and spot treatment every morning and night. I drink 2 liters of water a day and am very vigilant about sunscreen and changing my pillow case. I don't usually wear makeup. I feel so greasy and gross all the time :(

I was keeping track with a stitch marker like a responsible person, I promise, but several fiascos lead to losing the marker and the start while frogging. I can't use the end of the cast off as it's weaved in and the needles are no longer in the same coordination as they were before.
Is there any reliable way to tell? I'm trying to add stripes and I want them to be clean. Sorry if i'm missing something obvious as a beginner.

I only just started attempting art despite being a college student, and would like some advice on how to make this drawing more interesting/coherent. I like how the geese turned out but everything else is kinda meh and messy. The trees and clouds esp I worked so long to make them look not childish but I couldn't figure it out 😭I'm aware the powerlines make zero sense 😭

Super excited to pick up this Brad CD for 50 cents at the thrift and didn't even check inside lol. Got home to realize someone had swapped the discs and I ended up with a bunch of random niche artists. I'm actually grateful, a lot of these tracks were really great and fun to listen to (faves where 'Velour' 'She's all yours' and 'hearts and stars') I made it its own liner notes as my stamp of approval. Fun little time capsule. Still missing that Brad cd tho...

Really wanted to show the beautiful woodgrain, upset my camera just refused to pick it up properly! Made from a branch broken off from a Bottlebrush tree in my back yard. Beeswax really helped the bark on the Snail shine. Sometimes the simplest things are the most satisfying 🐌

Made by me in ceramics :)

I can't stop bringing this guy with me everywhere. I feel the moment I weaved in his ends they were weaved into my soul as well ya'll. Making knit stuffies will really get you emotional if they turn out cute enough. Had to redo the eyes like 4 times and he still looks a little surprised at everything.
The pattern is Mou Mou bears: Fishing adventure and the yarn is a rough fingering weight wool I believe.
