A terrific "deadstock" yarn and notions resource... High end fashion industry overage, mostly from Italy. Some gorgeous options here, and fun buttons too!!
Started a rainbow cowl knitting project in honor of pride month. I'm a pretty terrible knitter, so we'll see how far I get by the end of the month, lol. #pride#knitting
NEW! To me, anyway... from the FutureFiber channel on #YouTube. Soooo funny! And clever. Are you in the chicken nugget at 3am quadrant of summer? Find out here!... "An unhinged summer knitting review."
Choosing a new #PrideMakealong project is hard! So many rainbows, so little time.
I'm thinking I'll grab Woolly Wormhead's new book and the handspun rainbow (wound onto a cone on the right of the photo) and play with the short row stitch dictionary until I've got a scarf or maybe stretch it out to a shawl? But I might change my mind three more times. 😅
I've finished the cardigan, I think if I make this again, I won't make it as long at the top of the back/collar area and just go back and forth to still get the length in at the bottom edge.
I found that the edges curl up a fair bit, so I have crocheted the cuffs and round the outside. It's worked well but I think next time I will give it a knit ribbed edge rather than crocheted
Yesterday's knitting. In the end, both flights home were delayed (related to weather grounding everything around O'Hare airport for a while) so we were tired but we made it home!
Kiddo says Iowa was way more boring than most places we visit and he would like to never go back. 😂 The highlight of the trip for him was the milkable cow exhibit at the Children's Museum. He named the statue Bessie.
I really want to love this more than I am as it works up.
I'm really hoping like, more progress and blocking works miracles.
It's the same yarn as the pattern, but idk, it looks SO messy and blaaaah to me. Maybe I'm just too close to it. And maybe the yarn will really look great after blocking.
Sometimes you just need to stop and give time to yourself. This weekend has been about getting in touch with my creative side. 3 new squares for my blanket and raspberry brownies. #knitting#crafts#baking#handmade
It’s all over the internet, it’s incoherent misogyny! I dyed a new batch, and there are many other powerful pinks and purples in stock.

My next project in the 'buildabeautifulboxofsocks24' from https://www.ashandevedesigns.com has arrived. So pretty.
Perfect for this time of the year - winter officially arrives this Saturday.
Hello Fediverse Knitters & Crocheters who use screen readers! Is there anything you wish designers knew when trying to make PDF knitting/crochet patterns accessible other than "make sure to have instructions in both written and charted format"?
Let me know in the comments so I can make the most of my InDesign accessibility settings for you!
With Myfanwy's recent move into politics, on top of her demanding roles in art, film & travelogue, we are happy to welcome Esme to the team in Scotland to spread the load.
Please... say hello to the delightful and excellent Esme!
🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 Don't miss the wonderful tale <heh heh> of Wally, the rescued Tibetan mastiff, especially part 2/3rd way through when she removes Wally's pelt. Incredible!!
I wonder if it's the same for sheep, alpacas, llamas, goats, etc. What a great dog!
Yesterday I started knitting again after years of not knitting a single stitch. I forgot how much I love it. 😁🧶
All the stitches came back to me as soon as I picked the needles up again. I didn't have to look up how to do any of it, I guess it must be muscle memory. 👀 :knitting: :ablobcatknitsweats:
