Who would think to knit a soft journal cover? Me, apparently. I kinda love it though

It's lace week for #ShowMeYourKnits and I happen to love knitting lace! The hat was my first lace project. I knitted the white shawl for my grandma. Zoom in on the blue, pink, and white shawl to see the diamond/heart design. And lastly, an algorithmic lace scarf!

I'm on the short row section of this shawl now, which is making it much harder to take a picture of it! It'll be done soon 🧢 #WIPWednesday

The theme for #ShowMeYourKnits this week is animals! I recently made these fingerless gloves with cats on them. I made two sweaters for my aunt's dog, Buddy. And I had to share this little dragon friend I made, even though it's crochet 🧢
