I’m crocheting my grandma a shawl for Christmas! It’s green blue red. My first time ever using colorwork, and although it’s pretty I am dreading all the ends I will need to weave in.

My own Lemmy instance, of course! :D Looking at what limits should be set to ensure uptime and keeping the registration open.

I got into algorithmic/generative music with Pure Data. That’s also the community I’m missing the most from Reddit since I just discovered it

I have 3 cross stitch projects I’m working on right now.

This first one is actually finished, but I need to get around to washing and framing it. It was a Christmas present for my father, so hopefully I can get it done soon 😅 It’s of Zion National Park which is in Utah, and is one of his favorites. The pattern is by Awesome Pattern Studio

This next one is a silly one that I started last pride month and has been sitting at about 80% done for a year, so I intend to finish this pride month - the bi pride opossum. Just need to finish the foliage. The pattern is by Studio Ansitru

Finally my monster WIP, the 2021 stitchalong from Modern Folk Embroidery. Hoping to get this one done within this year. Since it’s only 2 colors it actually works up pretty quickly. Pattern is by Modern Folk Embroidery

Those are all of my WIPs for now. I have the materials for another project on order and possibly arriving on Friday.

I’m working on painting up some things for Oathsworn (boardgame). I’m painting a huge monster, and I just finished painting some terrain pieces that my partner 3d printed, like a ruined building and some walls overgrown with moss. Haven’t had much time for painting lately so I’m happy to make some progress again. (now I just gotta figure out how to add pictures to a post!)

Edit: I think this should work?

I am also currently engrossed in cross stitching! Got a page finish on this full coverage project a few days ago, I’ve been on with this for…er… about a year and a half I think?.. and I’m just coming up on 25% complete 😅 You can’t really make out much here because I’ve been stuck on beige island for the last however long, but you can see the full image on the pattern page: Autumn Stories.

As well as that I’ve been very slowly knitting away at the sleeve on a jumper that this is apparently the best pic I can find of. You get the general idea. This one is probably getting packed away through because we’re going on a cruise at the start of August and I need to make some non-Wintery stuff asap. Pattern is Justyna Jumper.

And last but not least someone over on Mastodon sewed a cool skirt and enabled me with the shop link, so now I own not only a new skirt pattern but one for a bralette to go with it too. Planning to get both of those out of this quilt cover that I picked up from a charity shop for 50p! It’s got big leaves on it and it screams “flouncing around on a cruise ship”. Shop link for the easily enabled.
