We thought it would be Mad Max when the apocalypse came for us. Shame, that. This is how the world ends; with a whimper, not a bang.

Rural Boys Watch The Apocalypse (rough draft) by Keaton St. James

Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!

Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.

I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.

Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.

Finished my first twist front headband. I’m super happy with how it turned out. Thanks @_claudetta_ for the great instructional video on @youtube. The project was super easy and a great intro to doing a simple cable twist. I used @lionbrandyarn Thick&Quick acrylic yarn. It comes in a huge skein so I have plenty left over for other projects. #coventorturga #witch #witchcraft #witches #graywitch #witchy #spooky #mother #iwearblack #craftywitch #artist #diywitch #witchcraftonabudget #knit #knitting #continentalknitting #yarn #circularneedles #diy #turbantwistheadband #headband #earwarmer https://www.instagram.com/p/B6weJ81nZSo/?igshid=nctu8k91ne7r

I did it! My very first knitting project is completed and I’m pretty sure there’s only one tiny mistake no one but me will ever notice. I got the pattern for free from @cj.dsgn; this is her excellent #AlpesBeanie pattern and you can follow along with it in her YouTube channel. I made mine a little bigger than the pattern called for because I have a huge 24” head and didn’t want it to flatten my hair. It is very warm and cozy, made from a 80/20 acrylic/wool blend yarn. It was knitted on 9mm 16” circular needles. I made the pompom with my Clover large pompom maker. #coventorturga #witch #witchcraft #witches #graywitch #witchy #spooky #mother #iwearblack #craftywitch #artist #diywitch #witchcraftonabudget #knit #knitting #continentalknitting #yarn #circularneedles #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/B6dDIKHHQZ7/?igshid=bkza3l2ldlzn

I’m doing it! I stayed up until 7am screaming at the YouTube and ripping out stitches but now I’ve got it, I’m sure. Can’t wait until my new warm hat is done. Gonna put a big fluffy pompom on top. #coventorturga #witch #witchcraft #witches #graywitch #witchy #spooky #mother #iwearblack #craftywitch #artist #diywitch #witchcraftonabudget #knit #knitting #continentalknitting #yarn #circularneedles #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bssf4nbaP/?igshid=mvqql0jpcigh

Years of crochet and I’m finally teaching myself to knit. It’s kinda painful seeing how wonky it looks, but it’s getting better every row. I just want to make this hat pattern I found. Practice practice. #coventorturga #witch #witchcraft #witches #graywitch #witchy #spooky #mother #iwearblack #craftywitch #artist #diywitch #witchcraftonabudget #knit #knitting #continentalknitting #stilllookswonky https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_-LZ-n5K2/?igshid=d8lls87ygokk

The horror I just came across on my ig 😷

A little kitchen and food magick. After this move I am exhausted mentally and physically, not to mention covered in bruises. We’ve been eating a lot of frozen pot pies and ready-made sandwiches. I’m so ready for a healthy, hearty beef and veggie stew with yummy dinner rolls for dinner. #coventorturga #witch #witchcraft #witches #graywitch #witchy #spooky #mother #iwearblack #craftywitch #artist #diywitch #witchcraftonabudget #kitchenwitch #beefstew #dinner #yummy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4diYSyAANs/?igshid=h3bytt5ozvul
