My fellow knittin’ kittens, question for you: do you unwind your balls of yarn when putting half skeins into your stash bucket, or do you let them sit in ball form? I know the former is best practice, but I am trying to justify to my lazy self just leaving them as is. 🧶 #knitting

Knittin’ folks, how long/big does a yarn scrap need to be before you keep it versus trash it? I keep stuff that’s a few feet as contrast yarn for casting on, quarter skeins for scrap projects, that sort of thing, but anything shorter gets tossed or composted as appropriate. 🧶 #knitting

This knit toilet seat cover that looks like an egg and the passage about making an avocado-shaped bathmat are delightful in an otherwise undelightful time. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... 🧶 #knitting

🧶 #showmeyourknits Took apart a turban I wasn’t wearing and reused the yarn (Alexandra the Art of Yarn, Seal Rock DK) to make an Eternity beanie with some modifications. Love the retina-burning pink/fuchsia combination 🩷💜

Finally took a picture of some very simple boot socks I made last year—they went straight from the needles to my feet. The yarn (discontinued) is a bit pilly, so I have to shave it every so often. But they are merino/cashmere/stellina and feel great. 🧶 #knitting
