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 😂 😅 😜
Today's MeMade garments are a hat (crocheted), a skirt and bandanna (sewn), and a waistcoat and socks (knitted).
Here's a photo from last year of our cat putting her seal of approval (i.e. hair) on my hand-knitted sock collection. #MeMadeMay#knitting#socks#cat#sewing#crochet
@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
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’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.
Started twice since the first attempt was way too big. That's fine, the second attempt is going better since I'm more used to ribbing stitch, magic loop, and now purling. (I think they're still going to be big but the next size down was listed as child sized!)
I thought putting stiches on hold would be complicated but it was super easy. Just... ignore them. I did the whole heel flap last night, then spent some time reading the upcoming instructions, reading the associated blog post, and chatting with knitting friend. I feel like I understand what I'm doing next and how it fits together.
