Make a cosplay outfit of an Imperial Tanktrooper

by nbear1 • In Progress

Small update but feels good to get to this point. Glued the upper and lower helmet pieces together and started test fitting some visor materials. Feels cool to finally wear it. The helmet needs more sanding and finishing before paint but it's coming together.

Learn Intarsia/Knit Pullover

by kpedrowright • In Progress

I took a short break to start another project and lost some momentum - but once I got the first row cast on it was a lot easier to get reinvested. I started the bikini ties that make up the color work for the back panel!

Perfect the unicorn

by ryan • In Progress

Best wings so far, at least as far as connection to the body, weirdly the body, which had previously been a strength came out a little shaky

Knit a Cable Scarf

by kpedrowright • In Progress

This is a continuous pattern that doesn’t change, I’ll stop when I decide it’s long enough. This is day 3 of cabling every 12 rows.

finish a barcode page

by stass • Completed

this was such a satisfying page to me and it was really fun to remember to take barcodes off of all the products that we bought!

Create Two Paintings

by kira • In Progress

Not overly happy with this because the background is so uneven, but it will do 🏄🏽‍♀️

Complete a latch hook kit

by heather • In Progress

Most of this progress was made during the first few days of starting the project. I had to take a few weeks off due to my job getting extra busy, as well as a new puppy and other life things. I was also having trouble with my eyesight (dealing with migraines), so I started using sticky notes to follow each row of the pattern. and got my eyes checked (glasses secured). I made time for a few more rows this weekend and I’ll try to do a little each day, if I can.

Make a handmade item for a baby boy

by mar_mar • Completed

I shouldn’t have committed to finishing on a week day. Although it was almost done, I didn’t have the energy to concentrate on it on a Friday evening.

Draw in a stylistic way a tennis woman

by klaiimand • Completed

This was the most enjoyable part of the project. Delving into the details of the drawing, refining the facial features, and continuously composing in the same style is very enriching. I really felt that all the previous steps allowed me to enjoy the drawing; it’s at this final stage that it takes on meaning, and the small details give it substance.

Create something unique

by mar_mar • Completed

I work without a plan so hock ups along the way are inevitable. In this case they turned out to be the key to making a truly unique piece of clothing.

Draw anatomically accurate people

by interficior • In Progress

I've always loved drawing and doodling but never took the steps many artists do to learn anatomy to better their understanding of the human for. I wish to start from scratch and educate myself in the skeletal and muscular systems of the body to enhance my art to the next level.

Perfect Swan Latte Art

by ryan • Completed

Worked with a lot of baristas who offered me advice on my pours, a culmination of their advice brought me here

PENTAGON

by bepis • Completed

ITS JUST THIS SIMPLE, 17 UNFORGETTABLE STEPS FOR THE MOST REGULAR PENTAGON YOUVE EVER MADE WITHOUT MEASURING AND LOOKING UP CHORDAL LENGTHS IN TABLES N STUFF (one of these legs might be out by like 2 degrees but its pencil and paper and 0 lives depend on those degrees) GOOD JOB

Draw Zebra

by jj • Completed

A single zebra was just not enough
