My next project in the 'buildabeautifulboxofsocks24' from https://www.ashandevedesigns.com has arrived. So pretty.
Perfect for this time of the year - winter officially arrives this Saturday.
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 😂 😅 😜
@SuzyShearer@knitting OMG adore your color coding system! Right now I don't have easy access to a printer so using KnitCompanion (app). Mostly great, but sometimes I miss paper. And highlighters!
@SuzyShearer@knitting Lately I'm preferring written out anyway. Usually it's just a short repeat anyway, like on the Way Leads On To Way MKAL shawl happening now.
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. 😜
@energisch_@SuzyShearer@knitting Oh yes, I would only ever do cold. And only hand wash because I don't like any felting effect. Or dry clean. But that's just me, and I do prefer the nonsuperwash, which still has the hooking scales on the fiber.
At a recent event I did the colour "The Gentle Fire of Ruby" was by far and away the most popular, so I've spent the last couple of weeks restocking this colour across various bases. Hard to pick a favourite, but on the Suilven DK base it does take on an extra lusciousness.
Working on March's square in the Makealong blanket. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/.
Found I need to concentrate on this one...🤪
