Graffiti Doodles, Episode 181! Happy May Day!

This is a recording of my Patreon Exclusive livestream from Friday, May 1st, 2026!! Patreon:   / knitgraffiti   Hello and happy Friday, Patrons!! I hope you've had a great week! Yesterday I celebrated my 45th birthday, woo!! Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday on Instagram, I'm slowly making my way through the comments. I picked up the Stashduster cardigan and have been working on that, which feels good. I also gave myself a manicure using a new thermal polish I got from Cirque Colors!  Question of the week: What is your comfort movie or show?  Look for this month's announcement post later today!  Off the needles: I finished the Pokemon shawl for Camp Knit ATX!!! I still have to weave in ends and block it, but I am so happy with it. It changed a bit from my initial idea, but that happens quite often. I will open a test knitting call next week for this one! Let me know if you're interested in testing!  Next cast on: I had thought about casting on something new on my birthday, but decided to separate the Fronts and Back of my Stashduster cardigan! I changed up the colors a bit, and I'm super happy with the new combo. I'm really hoping to finish it soon so I can release it this year, but it might be an early 2027 release. What should I cast on next? I want to cast on my Shark Week shawl using Fangirl Fibers, but I also want to cast on my Sizzle Pop cardigan using Emma's Yarn. Decisions!!! I might wait until the cardigan on my needles is done to cast on another cardigan haha. Maybe a spring / summer top?? What I really need to get started on are the projects for my bonus patterns for Knit Stars. :D Next pattern release included in Birthday Sale: Watch for my next Star Wars shawl pattern, coming May the 4th, Star Wars Day!!    Ok see you soon!! xx Lesley.
