The Fine Sweater is finally complete! Great pattern by Yu Jie, based on the comic by KC Green. This is definitely the most complicated thing I’ve ever knitted, and I think it took me as long to embroider it and weave in the ends as it did to knit it, but I’m glad I did it. Not recommended for anyone who is a perfectionist, though. #knitting@knitting #knittersofmastadon

This is still me catching up on my year-long rainbow project, but the swatches for my short row homespun shawl looked promising so you'll probably be seeing that soon. I just needed something easier to do without thinking for today.
Choosing a new #PrideMakealong project is hard! So many rainbows, so little time.
I'm thinking I'll grab Woolly Wormhead's new book and the handspun rainbow (wound onto a cone on the right of the photo) and play with the short row stitch dictionary until I've got a scarf or maybe stretch it out to a shawl? But I might change my mind three more times. 😅
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
NEW! To me, anyway... from the FutureFiber channel on #YouTube. Soooo funny! And clever. Are you in the chicken nugget at 3am quadrant of summer? Find out here!... "An unhinged summer knitting review."

Started a rainbow cowl knitting project in honor of pride month. I'm a pretty terrible knitter, so we'll see how far I get by the end of the month, lol. #pride#knitting
A terrific "deadstock" yarn and notions resource... High end fashion industry overage, mostly from Italy. Some gorgeous options here, and fun buttons too!!
Way Leads on to Way is finally getting blocked! Hoping to get some pictures of me wearing it this weekend, assuming I don't succumb to the latest cold.
Ich werde leider bis zum 1.6. nicht mehr schaffen, den Herrn Weber Regenbogen fertig zu machen, aber ich habe beschlossen, dass es im #PrideMonth die 2-farbige Anleitung mit Code PrideMonth zum halben Preis gibt. Oder bei Nachweis einer Spende von mindestens 2,50 € an eine der von mir favorisierten Organisationen als Geschenk auf Ravelry/per Mail. Infos zum Regenbogen gibt es dann auf Anfrage.

I really want to love this more than I am as it works up.
I'm really hoping like, more progress and blocking works miracles.
It's the same yarn as the pattern, but idk, it looks SO messy and blaaaah to me. Maybe I'm just too close to it. And maybe the yarn will really look great after blocking.
Yesterday's knitting. In the end, both flights home were delayed (related to weather grounding everything around O'Hare airport for a while) so we were tired but we made it home!
Kiddo says Iowa was way more boring than most places we visit and he would like to never go back. 😂 The highlight of the trip for him was the milkable cow exhibit at the Children's Museum. He named the statue Bessie.
I did more lace repeats than the pattern called for because I was determined to not have yarn left over. The light-colored lifeline is the OG end of the lace, and I added an orange lifeline every repeat after that in case I ran out of yarn early.
I have maybe a yard left over 😅
