Finished Object: Misurina Knitted Crop Top

Knitting

Every body is a crop top body. The opinion that I see many knitters have is that they absolutely hate the crop top trend. Don’t get me wrong, I totally get it. But, there is a fine line between understanding your body shape and feeling self-conscious! I used to think this way too, but now…

A few recent makes and finishes. 👀🔥 1 & 2. A few recent makes and finishes. 👀🔥

1 & 2. The #parasoldress in this beautiful linen, the oldest fabric in my stash.
3. My second #deschain in a neutral I’ve been craving for years. In #berrocoyarn Modern Cotton.
4. My home office/craft room refresh. Pulled the carpet, laid peel & stick tiles, color drenched the walls & ceiling, and upgraded my craft supply storage solution. I’m OB 👏 SESSED 👏! There’s still a little more to do like swap out the ceiling fan, overall clean up and organize/purge my crap, and to finish hanging my cross stitching, art, and curtains, but it’s been so fun to work and craft in here already I can’t get over it.
