Thank you! Our little Cashew is so fun to knit for. In fact, he may be due for a new sweater soon.

Happy to oblige with some dog in sweaters pics for animal week 🐢 at #showmeyourknits. Bonus shot of dog supervising the blanket knitting process #knitsky 🧢

Oh no 😱😱 😱
That really hurts!
Hopefully you can get it good as new after a cooling off period.

I might have shown this one before, but it's the perfect red and pink knit for this week's #showmeyourknits prompt. I knit this Surge shawl for my lovely friend's milestone birthday a few years back. ❀️ 🩷 🧢

I presume their tour is being organized by an events management team, and that is probably the "why" for the ticket pricing. It's not about the amount, it's about the currency.

Since all that says is that Norwegians are coming to Canada, all to more reason to set ticket prices in CAD or even Norwegian Kroner. Le sigh πŸ˜”

I noticed that too this morning. Hard no from me as well.

Thank you! Painfully, yes, it was intarsia. Definitely not my favourite technique to do, but the vest for my hubby did turn out great.

Grey 🩢 you say? Besides every boring grey hat I've knit for the men in my family, here are a few more fun grey items for #showmeyourknits. Details in alt text.

It's a fun skill to try out. I say go for it!

Your dexterity is like wearing oven mitts, but the heavenly feeling of soft roving surrounding your hands is worth it! Also, over time the thrums felt a little on the inside which makes them more manageable.

Agree, that level of floof and colour is a little insane in all the best ways!

I made those thrummed mitts as a gift. One day I would love to make them again, only keep them this time!

That yarn combo is amazing 😍
I would have never thought to put those two yarns together.
