Acrylic on canvas

I know the last time I posted I said I was going to work more on the solid line style, but I spent 6 hours on the road visiting Maine for the first time and just wanted to chill with some painting. No plan, no technique, no skill, nothing even slightly resembling skill. Just painting and chilling.

So enjoy!

I'll need to look into that. I've only ever used regular canvas (and never even heard of gesso). That idea of painting the base layer over the tape is genius! The best ideas are always the ones that make me wonder how I never thought of that lol

    My first time painting on a canvas in over a decade, and my first time using painters tape to get crisper lines. I think it came out decently lol

    Exactly as you did it: I stopped doing the full round for a few rows, then continue after the hole is large enough. I also did more than I should have, and earlier than I should have, but knit stuff is basically a fabric so some regular sewing can be used to correct mistakes if you are careful.

    Slugs often have multiple protrutions on their heads, the issue is that they are not all eyestalks. The mistake is simple and understandable, but its the same idea of drawing a cat with eyes on each whisker.

    Way too big but a good test for different knits.

    The cuff is 1x1 ribbing with acrylic yarn and the main body is e wrapped with chenille as I wanted it to be light and breathable but still fluffy. The end of the glove is ended off with two rows of purls to try to look less like it was incomplete and more like a style, but that didn't really work haha.

    I am also not a fan of the thumb hole but it works.

    I... recognize a few of those words!

    In all seriousness thank you so much for the advice! I'll definitely research what each of those stitches are before my next attempt, it will be nice not having the whole thing roll up on me.

    Also no it wasn't intentional, I literally bought a loom kit and googled how to knit a scarf and just did the first thing I saw haha. We all have to start somewhere!

    She was oddly happy to wear it, usually she hates wearing clothes. I'll need to make her one, just a lot shorter so she can't tangle herself in it when she rolls around.

    I'm with you there, my mom loves scarfs but when I wear them I just look like I broke my neck and was all out of casts haha.

    If vector art was used, or the outlines were placed/adjusted algorithmicly, this is a relatively normal effect caused by a bad path or stray vertices. While it could have been touched up with AI, I'd personally give the benefit of the doubt on this one
