    Really adorable mug! Could you please tell me what the finished size is for the mug? And, did you sew or glue on the ribbon loop hanger, thanks! You do really beautiful work! I am a crocheter, but the knit ornaments are beautiful as well! :)

      Hi Jerilyn! The mug is 1.5 inches tall, minus the ribbon I added for hanging. I sewed the ribbon on with quilting thread, but hot glue would totally work too – these ornaments are very light since they’re just yarn and stuffing! Happy holidays :)

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
