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
This week is unexpectedly cold, so I'm wearing my newly finished, unblocked, hap, and it is perfectly warm and snuggly as I work on #knitting the collar on a summery cardigan -- also almost finished!
I just got scared of seeing my empty project bag laying around... before remembering it is no longer a WIP! Time to think of my next project to cast on 😀 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
I usually do a standard heel flap and French heel. I can do it by heart and it fits me well. For this pair I decided to go with a band heel, just to do something different, and because it’s easier to stay in pattern if I don’t have to think about gusset decreases.
It fits, but would fit a bit better if I had used a little more than half the stitches to work it, which would have added a little height. I have a somewhat high instep. #knitting
I've been researching picking up stitches (for collar band on cardigan, both front and neck). I tend to get a lot of holes.
Now, I found the following tips browsing the internet, which of these would you recommend? Any other things to think about? So pick up along a side of the garment.
picking up ratio 3:4
pick up and knit (k1 p1) and next row twisted stitches
pick up both legs of the stitch
divide with markers to even the count of picked up stitches
Absolutely in love with how this advent fade is working up. Also thrilled to be done with the lace work and onto more straightforward stuff for the rest of the jumper #knitting@fiberarts
The green one is done and fits!!! (My hair is doing a weird thing!)
#2. The purple one: I was supposed to switch to a bigger needle after the collar I think and didn’t. Is that why it’s sort of proofed out? Will it block out or should I redo that? Any advice gladly accepted.
I think I need to watch this a few more times to really understand it, but I love it, when science and textiles crafts meet and people make a deep dive into this.
“Ocean Storm” on aran. Today is your last chance to buy before @wonderwoolwales as I’m packing all the yarn tomorrow. This isn’t some marketing trick to make you feel pressure of time, it’s just a statement. You can be sure of this because I have learned that reminding people actually causes a fall in sales! I do it anyway because I think I would like to know if I were a potential customer.

Here's a new construction idea for fingerless gloves - nearly finished (only one seam to graft) and it worked right away ... but it uses only right angles and garter stitch, i.e. the calculations are easier. #knitting@knitting
Sometimes I forget about my little knitting pattern tech editing side business until on of my knitters pops into my inbox all excited with a gorgeous new pattern!
@ascentale@Butterbee A7. #BikeNite my MIL knitted me a sleeve that goes over the straps of my helmet and over my head under the helmet. It keeps my ears warm and stops the whistling in the straps! #knitting
I’m looking for fediverse accounts to follow for inspiration in my new leisure interest: #knitting#socks. I’ve made two pairs so far and am looking for help and style variations, as well as tips to improve my technique.
