Made in July 2025

Sewing

Sewed a couple quilted mug rugs using the leftover onigiri hamster fabric from my project pouch. Sometimes a quick little project is just what you need as a palette cleanser. This was my first time self-binding a make. I found this short and sweet YouTube video to make sure I had my approach right with the mitered corners; I actually have no idea what the audio sounds like—I watched it muted and that was clear enough!

Knitting

I’m now on the foot of my second sock for Summer Lee’s Cuff Club. This design is from August in the first year…why yes, it does take me ~3 months to knit a sock. But! This is my second pair of socks and it’s probably going twice as fast as the first pair I knit. Picking up gusset stitches no longer terrifies me, huzzah! 🎉

Drawing & painting

Didn’t get much sketchbook time this month. I did get to draw a little bit with my six-year-old niece while my family was visiting, aww.
