I lost my favorite needle stoppers (they were green monstera leaf ones from @woolberryfiber.bsky.social ) so I had to collect a new pair from my LYS recently. Kitties on books!

Today’s advice for knitters who want a particular piece to be mistake-free (perhaps it is a gift like this is) - take a photograph of it periodically (preferably BEFORE you weave in the loose ends lol). The camera sees shadows your brain normally ignores! (See my mistake?) #knitting

Hat WIP 🩶

After doing four-color colorwork (using a combination of intarsia with many bobbins and stranded knitting), for a few rounds, working rounds with “only” three-color stranded colorwork feels comparatively easy and fast 😅

I decided to wet-block this Chinook Winds sweater. I was concerned that the fringe would mat up but it did not and it looks great!

These are some of my favorite stitch markers I’ve made! They’re bronze-colored honeycomb on a little clasp which can be hooked onto fabric.

Sweater wip

My sweater is 99.9% done! All the knitting is done, everything has been seamed and loose ends woven in, fringe attached and combed out, and now I’m on the final step - blocking the fringe. (That just means getting all the wrinkles out of it so it lays flat). This is partial progress here.

I’m almost halfway done with this scarf. I took a break from it the last few days (it *is* pretty monotonous) so I am feeling ready to knit a few inches on it tonight while on break at work.

Today I am adding beads as an afterthought into a shawl I’ve already started (but don’t want to restart). I made a reel showing a few more details but its too long for this app (if you are on instagram, it’s there on my account @ thingsimknitting).

Knitting furiously.

Last night I trimmed all these bits of fringe plus picked them open so they will look uniform and fluffy once done. I did this while participating at the Cozy Inn at @yarncom.bsky.social where we did a yarn themed lock-in for grownups, kinda like lock-ins we did at the YMCA as teenagers. FUN!!!

The scarf continues! I’m into the brioche section now which will make up the bulk of this project.

I love how tidy a tubular cast-on looks! This is the beginning of a scarf.
