I'd hoped to post yesterday, but couldn't get a decent photo. The joys of gloomy coffee shop lighting. 😑 I've almost finished the body of the second mitten. So hopefully I'll finish this pair ahead of schedule. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #indieyarn #showmeyourknits

I've started the cuff of the second March Kvello mitten. While magic loop is easier and avoids the stabby DPN porcupine, thumbs are still fiddly since they're so small. So I'll knit both mittens then deal with the thumbs. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits #indieyarn

The left March Kvello mitten is almost done. I love Purple Haze yarn from @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social; it works so well as the base colour. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #indieyarn #showmeyourknits

And the blue Kvello mittens are complete! I didn't want to leave this pair sitting around unfinished while I worked on the March pair, especially since I only needed to knit a thumb. They're so pretty! I love them. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits

I feel like I've made good progress on my March knitting. I need my interchangeable needle back so I completed the body of the right-hand blue Kvello mitten. I'll knit the thumb this morning then I can continue the purple pair. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #indieyarn #knit #showmeyourknits

I wound the yarn for the March Knitting Challenge today and also managed to knit most of the cuff of one mitten. I love the white as the contrast; the white and blue Kvello mittens look more delicate, whereas these will be bold. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #indieyarn #knit #showmeyourknits

I needed more white yarn for the March mittens so I made a trip to Loop in London. One of my knitting friends said I should also visit Bird and Blend, so I bought some tea and tried their peaches and cream and lemon drizzle matchas. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #yarn #tea #matcha #daytrip

Always remember they're going after trans people not because trans people became too public, not because trans people asked for too much, not because trans people had too many genders, not because trans people were annoying online. They're going after trans people because they lost to gay people.

I've finished the left Kvello Mitten! I love the design and I'm looking forward to starting my purple pair for the March Knitting Challenge. I'll finish what I can of the right mitten today/tomorrow then move onto the challenge projects. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits

I've almost finished the left mitten; I only need to knit the fingertip decreases and the thumb. I've tried it on and it fits better than the Selbu pair since this has an extra ten stitches once all increases are complete. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social Hi Aubrey, I checked to see if I could access the audiobook of the new Maintenance Phase book yet, and Amazon is saying it won't be available until 2027. Is that correct or is Amazon being weird?

I've knit up past the thumb of my left Kvello mitten. I love how the pattern has formed; the delicate stylised flowers look great in the dark yarn and I like the large diamond chequers on the palm. It's definitely a pattern I want to knit again. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits

Here's the start of my Kvello mittens using leftover Madelinetosh Tosh DK in Deep & Paper from my Selbu mittens. The base colour should have been blue but I inverted it; I'll knit the March Kvello mittens with a purple base. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #knit #showmeyourknits #strandedknitting

I finished the Evja mittens! I meant to post them a couple of days ago, but never mind. I've now started a pair of Kvello mittens using the leftover Madelinetosh yarn from the Selbu mittens I knit a few weeks ago. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #showmeyourknits #knit #indieyarn
