Bulbasaur Patch
I found the cutest baby sweater pattern for a shower gift last month. The original idea was to make something cute, simple, and gender neutral. The problem, is that Cascade 220 Superwash has so many shades of green. That’s what I’m going to blame this on. And these two shades of green wanted to be…

Eeyore
Here’s an unrelatable problem for most people: I had a hard time finding a Halloween costume for my 5 pound dog last year. So this year, I made her one specifically designed to fit with her harness.

Cyndaquil
It’s been a minute since I’ve attempted to knit a Pokémon. Specifically, it’s been nine years (which I know thanks to Ravelry, a.k.a the keeper of my memories since my brain is a sieve that only holds on to song lyrics I heard in Middle School and jokes from British panel shows). But since I’m…

Abstract Pillow
As soon as I cast on this sweater, I realized it was aggressively unattractive. I love yellow when painting or forcing myself into a better mood – aggressive cheerfulness is a necessity in January, but it’s brutal to wear. I’ve never looked good in yellow a day in my life. So you’ll notice this isn’t…

Bicycle Sweater
I don’t know if this counts as an abandoned knitting project seeing as I never actually started it, but I did sketch it sometime back in 2013 fresh from a rainy day trip to Savannah. I went as far as dropping some squares in MS Paint, and then immediately forgot about it. Probably because the…
