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
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 😂 😅 😜
@SuzyShearer@knitting OMG adore your color coding system! Right now I don't have easy access to a printer so using KnitCompanion (app). Mostly great, but sometimes I miss paper. And highlighters!
@SuzyShearer@knitting Lately I'm preferring written out anyway. Usually it's just a short repeat anyway, like on the Way Leads On To Way MKAL shawl happening now.
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. 😜
@energisch_@SuzyShearer@knitting Oh yes, I would only ever do cold. And only hand wash because I don't like any felting effect. Or dry clean. But that's just me, and I do prefer the nonsuperwash, which still has the hooking scales on the fiber.
Feels like the 50th time I am trying to work on this fingerless gloves construction (in truth, it's only the 7th or 8th time). This time, however, I am trying to take the mistakes into account that I made last time, i.e. I am making new mistakes :/ #knitting#knit@knitting
This is a very simple scarf I’m making, but I really love it. I’m using just a garter stitch to highlight the inherent softness of this yarn (Urth Yarns sock) and make a loose-feeling, comfy knit, and ensure that the yarn's pattern is the scarf’s only pattern: beautiful evolving stripes.
