Dressing up like me
I started putting shirts on my mannequin and decided to slap pants on it too for the ponchos I was making. It doesn’t actually have legs and I have no clue what one of the plastic models would cost, like the ones at Kohls. I wouldn’t mind having one of those, something with a head, arms and legs would be great. But for now this is fine.
Pretty Ponchos
With all that yarn I bought I figured I could make a virus cocoon sweater, and a matching poncho. I’ve done ponchos in black and off-white so far.
The black one is in my shop and the white one will be posted tomorrow!
Portfolio Patterns
I’ve been making a number of different things, but for speed and efficiency I think I’m going to focus on just a few that I specialize in.
One I decided on is the virus cocoon sweater. I made one in black this past week. In my shop now!
It takes about a week and a half to make, but I am happy with the version as far as size and border detail. It’s a combination of the virus pattern for blankets and a border I picked up from basic stitches I liked.
Popsicle Alpaca
I swore I wouldn’t buy any more yarn for a while so I’m trying to use up what I got. This took care of all of the Off-white Tweed, and all but a few yards of the purple. In my shop now!
I started giving them names for funsies as well.

Funny enough my pink and grey virus blanket got featured on another website, but I turned it around into a wearable since those are more useful.
In my shop now!
