Project Name & Page Link: Friends Mitts
Brief Description: A pair of mittens is the epitome of ‘doubling up’ and encompassing the numbers 1 and 4 (1 thumb, 4 fingers). I also used a written pattern to transform this yarn into something new.

Project Name & Page Link: Leather Jedi Belt
Brief Description: Using the movies - and the work of other cosplay artists - as reference, I pieced together this Jedi belt. I purchased the (functional!) buckle, and went from there. I did need to buy two sets of hardware as the leather was much too thick for what I had originally found. Ultimately, I managed to create something that was a decent approximation of the film costume.

Brief Description: I gave myself permission to splurge on fabrics and notions for this jacket that I have been wanting to make for years. The main fabric is a linen blend, the buttons are stamped brass, and the trim is velvet. I love how it turned out and it was so wonderfully comfortable.
