I am sick of the hypocrisy of this world. If a serial killer driven by his sick mind murders many people, we call him a monster and a criminal. But if a serial killer commits socially acceptable murders sponsored by the government, we call him a hero and a protector.

We are horrified when people die whose only fault is that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet, we celebrate when the victims are individuals obligated or even forced to serve their government. No one with a compassionate heart could wish such pain upon anyone.

I have seen how easily fear creates hate, and how hate can turn good people into monsters. This is the most horrible thing in the world. There should be no such thing as "socially acceptable murder." If we truly want to live in peace, we must reject this absurd concept.

So I'm finishing two of my three projects. The gloves are actually done a few days ago, but it's been a really tough few days so I don't have a picture.

Owl Forest is 94% done :). I love this pattern so much!

Fern Sweater. I've knitted the whole pattern! I'm finally happy with the colors

In the evening of Wednesday, my projects make me happy.
Sweater. The last increase has been made. Close to the end of the pattern.
Gloves. The first finger for the second glove is ready.
Owl Forest. Cross Stitch Saga says I made 56.4%!

Like many knitters, I have the "second sock disease". It's when you knit the first thing and can't do the second. It's too boring, too predictable, nothing new happens. But my desire to finish the project has always helped.
With these gloves, it's different. I'm trying to use the tutorial for them, and it's been disappointing. They're so imperfect... They're fine on my hand, and I love this yarn, but... Oh, I just must finish it as fast as I can.

It's time for the knitting machine! My mom gave me her old Soviet knitting machine "Severianka". I'm so happy and excited! So far I've knitted a lot of samples, this one is for a hat or beret. I hope to do all the calculations as soon as possible and start the project.

@KarenStrickholm This is a very interesting idea. But I'm a little unsure of my ability to over-dye it, and this yarn is too thick to mix with other yarns. Actually, it looks better with the white pattern, as for me. In any case, I always have the option to give it to my mom :)

I thought about this project for a long time. It's a sweater by Daria Nekrasovas Fern. I don't know how I chose this yarn color. When I saw it in real life, I was very disappointed. Online shopping isn't always great, but it's my only option. Today, acceptance came.

Started a new cross stitch project. I recently found gradient hand painted floss and fantastic stylized designs, so my interest in cross stitch has returned. It's so exciting! I can't stop sewing all day long!

This is a free design from Owlforest.

My main project right now. Knitting socks is my favorite in knitting, but the standard toe always disappoints me. I’m a very sensitive person, so the symmetrical toe on a sock feels like putting on the wrong shoes. So, I decided to create my own anatomic toe design. It’s not my first attempt - nor even my second - but this time I’m so close! The white one will be unraveled (I hope that’s the right word), while I'm still deciding about the pink one. For now I happy with rhythm of increase and already see what I can improve.

My first glove. Only one so far :)
I'm not satisfied enough with the fingers because all the tutorials I use don't show how to do it. There are small holes between the them and some other imperfections, but I am happy anyway. I'm sure this problem will gone with more experience.

Yarn: Filati Biagioli Modesto (baby yak, cashmere, merino wool, polyamidу, 460m/100g)
Knitting needles: 2,5 mm main and 2,0 for alternating knit

Hello everyone. My name is Irina and this is my blog about handcrafts, mostly knitting and crocheting. But sometimes I get inspired by woodcraft, embroidery and who knows what else.

I also like to make 3D and 2D art and take pictures of nature and animals, but that's on my other Fediverse accounts.

I'm excited to share my handcrafting process here and hope that it will be useful or interesting to someone.
