As I’m going away for 4 days, I thought I’d prepare a few days for the blog. So it’s nothing current that I’ll be posting these days, rather stuff that’s partly decades old. There will be photos, they might be a bit strange, but they will have some form of creative expression. A little glimpse into the past. Maybe I’ll write something under the pictures afterwards, but for the next few days it’s the creative content that counts and less the text.
About 15 years ago, I had the opportunity, by chance, to audition with the head designer of Pussy deluxe Germany. I was still in training, had no idea about AI and actually preferred to draw instead of doing everything on the PC. Here is one of the sketches, the legs are a bit funny but I like the facial expression.
A friend once asked me for a sketch for a “special” picture. Well, this is the sketch. Good night 🙂
Hard to believe but the sock is finished after all. I’m not too happy with the toe area because it’s a bit knobbly at the edge. I didn’t slowly tighten up the toes, but directly decreased them by 4 stitches every round, because otherwise the sock would have been too long. But when I wear them, it’s not really noticeable. It’s very comfortable and doesn’t constrict at all. I think a second sock will be worth it. 😀
I’m running out of yarn for the blanket, so I knitted the sock some more. Another 2 centimetres and I can knit the lace. At least now I’m a bit more motivated to finish it. The biggest “problem” is always to knit the second sock 🙂
At the moment I’m in the process of coming up with an idea – it’s about not having all this small stuff flying around in the bathroom. Everyone should get their own box. It is still open whether I will seal them with Decopage or other varnish. I’m not sure yet whether this is really necessary. In general, the idea is to make boxes from bookbinding cardboard instead of using plastic solutions. I will keep you posted.
Here’s the latest on the crochet sausage. It’s growing, but it’s growing slowly.
A quick look into April, the print unfortunately didn’t turn out so well but with a bit of colour on top, well it looks weird but whatever 🙂 There are still a few other months. In the end it’s not about how pretty the journal is, it’s not a competition, it’s just that it works.
This is the design for my Rabbit tracker in April, so far just the outlines, but I don’t think there is much more to come. Tomorrow I might post how it looks in a bit more colour.
