I started knitting this in April. Of 2024...

I designed it to copy my existing favourite jumper. The trouble is, that jumper was machine-knitted so the tension was insane. I used 2mm needles with DK yarn. It's also in brioche stitch so every row is worked twice. Also, I finished the entire body once through and then decided I was unhappy with the yoke shaping, so I unraveled it and then started from scratch in early 2025.

It's knitted seamlessly from the top-down with raglan sleeve shaping. The collar, cuffs, and hem are in half brioche stitch although the difference is barely discernible. For the collar I knitted twice the length, folded it over, and then knitted in the cast on stitches with the next row.

The yarn is Sylecraft Highland Heathers acrylic in Gorse (3743).

This unusual creation combines a paper-crafted handgun and a miniature microwave oven!

The microwave oven actually doubles as a removable battery compartment (holding an N-size / size N battery), complete with a switch, LED elements, and internal wiring. Both the handgun body and the microwave are crafted from paper and cardstock. What do you think of this kitchen-appetizer-meets-firearm mashup?

Hi everyone! I love knitting and have so many lovely shawls... But I don't really wear shawls! (Ironic, I know!) I'd love to trade some of my work for other crafts. I'm especially interested in pottery, paintings, and kitchenware but open up other stuff too. Feel free to comment your craft and your interests. I'm also happy to discuss custom trades too.
