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.
Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜
I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.
Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜
Frogging (tinking) it!
Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜
Working on March's square in the Makealong blanket. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/.
Found I need to concentrate on this one...🤪
For this design, I'm still working leaves here and there. Having bound off about half of the total number of stitches, I can finally spread out the shawl a bit. Once blocked, it will be pretty big! 😃
Time for an update on the socks I'm knitting! The first one is almost ready to start the ribbing, about 15 more rounds to go. I did include some calf increases 😉
#FlashbackThursday A couple of years ago, I designed this shawl: Winding Grape. It’s knit in super bulky weight yarn and has eye-catching cable patterning. The design is very flexible, though, it can also be knit in thinner yarns with equally stunning results 😃 https://www.lavisch.com/site/winding-grape/
Sockensammelsurium. Ich bin derzeit dran die letzten Socken zu waschen und parat für den Shop/Weihnachtsmarkt zu machen. Da hat sich ziemlich viel angesammelt 😅❤️
