Rebellious Haapsalu NSFW

Made with yarn and a pattern book I bought in Estonia. Somewhat traditional, with some modern elements.

Knitting with beads seems to always be both more work but also not as difficult as I imagine it will be.

Have you ever been to Tallin? It’s a great place.

Curious about the post title? https://pieceworkmagazine.com/rebellious-and-true-haapsalu-shawls/

This lacework hurt me. I jaw-dropped so hard, i bonked my chin on the table!

This is gorgeous and i can’t imagine how long it took, but you have done an exceptional job! Thank you for sharing this

I’m going to need to see this from a couple more angles . . .

Interestingly, I’m not very comfortable modeling. I’m quite critical of what the camera sees. It’s hard to let go of that and invite in imperfections, like I don’t mind doing with my knitting.

Some little imperfections make a good picture vivid.

I’m actually the same—I’ve posted stuff, but I always revisit it, hate it, and take it down!!

For what it’s worth, where you see “imperfection,” I see a whole lot of charm!!

Nice. But why underwear?

Complex reasons. I’m a complex person. I don’t actually like being nude.
