A flat lay image of a knitted colourwork cowl. The cowl is gray, with a knitted purple virus, a purple DNA, and a bright pink molecule. It is shown next to a black calculator and a model of a caffeine molecule

When I saw the Science doodle cowl by Jamie Lomax I knew that this was a must knit, so I decided to make it for #scrapalong2026 ๐Ÿงถ

Did I build complex molecule especially for this photo? Lol, yes, I did! And is that Caffeine?! Why, yes, it is! โ˜•

Stego is laid down on his side so you can see his bottom (scandalous!) You can see the flat bottom of the bag and his 4 little nub feets coming out of the bottom area

I constantly stick my hook in my hair for temporary holding then forget it's in my hair then spend way too long frantically searching all the couch cushions around me before remembering I stuck it in my hair.

#showmeyourknits SCARVES. I've knit quite a few scarves along the way, but this one (which is also my profile banner) is far and away the most work and the most complicated ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿงถ

if you wanted something knitting related:
"oops, dropped a stitch"
"shhh I'm counting"
"ugh I have to frog this" (if you interrupt them!)
"knit fast, die warm"

yes! all bobble stitches. I liked the pixel look it made as opposed to traditional tapestry crochet. thank you so much for your comment!

I love crocheting household items so for #Crochetaway this week, here's a repost of my latest completed project, a pair of rugs which were supposed to be bathmats, but the large one is far too large.

I was like 'oh I don't have anything for #showmeyourknits this week' completely forgetting I had literally posted this months ago for a different prompt.
Unfortunately it's one of the only cowls I've ever knit, so here it is again! ๐Ÿงถ

that's what I'm sayingggg. okay but for real, the disadvantage is I can't wash and block it like a real swatch to see how it'll turn out after the wash. It's always worked out for me though.

I gauge by starting to knit a pattern and then measuring a few rows in to see if I'm close. I also don't lifeline even when I should........
on the other hand, I frog freely. all of my absolute favorite projects have been frogged at least twice before completion.

#crochetaway something silly. throwback to the nyan cat scarf I made for my roommate in college. I'm actually quite proud of the pop tart cat's face ๐Ÿงถ

I wind them as I need them! Some fibers can distort if caked too soon.

and.... as promised on the original thread, just finished the bathmat with the baby forms of the Stardew birds. The babies take fewer pixels so this bathmat turned out much more reasonably sized. ๐Ÿงถ #stardewvalley #crochet
