@knitting@fibrearts Sometimes I finish things! These have taken an embarrassingly long time to knit. In fact I saw them on a knitting photo from last year and I know they’d taken ages then. To be fair, I did knit these a few times after I decided to reknit the heel and the. I decided to change my needle size. Still. I got there in the end. #knitting#socks
🧶 It's done! Yarn re-skeined on swift from ball I wound months ago, washed in Eucalan, dried thoroughly (it fluffed up, so nice!), re-wound just now into a ball.
When you’ve suddenly got your Wednesdays back after a year of studying and 3 weeks of exams the only thing to do is wind wool into balls and get knitting 🧶 #knitting#handmade
Second slipper finished while on the plane for my work trip. (I’m not working today - treating today like a “vacation day” that is spent traveling so I am in the right place for work tomorrow morning.) These bulky slippers were such a fast knit. Still have to stitch the i-cord loops down, duplicate stitch to cover any weird holes, weave in the ends, and wet block into shape. #knitting#FiberArts@knitting (remove group in reply)
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. 😜
I have some superfine yarn and after weeks of crocheting with thicker yarn it was an adjustment back to knitting, it took me countless times getting through the second row (of 4 stitches) before I got my microscopic focus back and relearned how to keep it from flying off the needle 😆 knock on wood
Slipper 1 is complete. Definitely needs a wet blocking into the final shape. There is a little hole on each side of the instep where I assume I could have avoided it by (something) but I guess I’ll go back and either duplicate or just kind of patch from the inside. Other than that I really like the pattern. Let’s see how the second one goes. Knitting in bulky weight is so amazingly faster than fingering. #knitting#FiberArts@knitting (remove group to reply).
The slipper is definitely a pretty fast knit. Took a nap and got back to it. I like the construction method too. You can see where the foot goes in! It’s now ready for the front rise which is almost the end! #knitting#FiberArts@knitting (remove group to reply).
Alas, kiddo had a bit of rough evening so I haven't started knitting, but it sounds like @KarenStrickholm is busy drying yarn so we might not be too far apart!
Last workday of vacation, deliberately away from where I could check work emails ;). Mushroom, egg, and cheese crepe and a latte with some sock #knitting at the local bookstore cafe. Made it to the gusset on my second Larch Ped sock so am hopeful this will be done “soon-ish”!! Vacation knitting is the best! And next week I have a work trip with hours at the airport so there will be more knitting then! #vacation#FiberArts@knitting
Hand knitted with two knitting needles soft, fluffy, and cozy blanket 🧶🤗
Six different colors stripes connected in to one 😊 #knitting#blanket#craft#handmade#cozy
The time has come for a de-stashing. If you are in the US/Canada, have challenges acquiring yarn, and are interested in a mystery box of yarn of varying weights, colors, and materials, please let me know. If I have multiple interested parties, I may choose 1-2 winners, or I may distribute the yarn in some way. You will receive the yarn free of charge. All I ask is that you give it a good home - either use it yourself or donate it on. #knitting#FiberArts#crochet#yarn@knitting
I use the @MonaApp the most and I decided today to redo my tabs customizations. Now the things care about most are right there, and I get a little notif symbol when new content is present. I have lists of old peeps from the bird site and Fiber Faves. I follow hashtags like #knitting and #FilmTournament. If you like customization, check out Mona. #Mastodon#MastodonApps
