Saw this on Instagram and had to track down the pattern. I really love the colours used in this sample.
Think it would be a perfect way to use up all those left-over yarn from old projects.

I finished my Gnome KAL. They are so cute but sadly no snow here in Lake Macquarie, Australia.
But I've tried to make Mr. Gnightley and Sgnome-man very welcome.

I can finally post this. Made it for a friend's birthday and gave it to her yesterday - she loved it!

I used a hand-dyed yarn in 2 ply (lace) and almost 700 size 6 beads.

Had a rummage in my stash and was surprised to find a number of yarns I can use for the Mitred Blanket.
Think I'll sort out then start with the lightest. Probably buy a couple of mini skeins in shades I'm missing.

Finished the March's square in the Makealong blanket. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by @fiber_lily. ( https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/ )
Was intricate and needing to watch the rows carefully but very happy with how it turned out.

Made a couple from hand-dyed yarn I already had as the club is only yarn for 12 blocks but I'm making the entire 20 from the pattern - https://berroco.com/patterns/norahs-vintage-afghan

@knitting

5 x 30cm squares. Each square is different styles of intricately linked cables. Colours - various shades of dark greens and deep grey.

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 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 😂 😅 😜

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.😅 😜

Very pleased with the way they turned out and now waiting (im)patiently for this month's challenge.

@bookstodon @bookstodon “A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”
