I’ve got my Amelka Cardigan test knit finally looking sweater-y for #WIPWednesday . The compound raglan is making me so happy with the fit! #knitting 🧶

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score
Honestly I feel bad for that 77% for living such sad lives

#showmeyourknits I barely ever knit scarves, so all I have for scarf week is a Sophie scarf I made from a skein of hand dyed worsted a few years back.
Yessss! When I realized a scarf I had in the variegated went so well with that Explorer Knits purple, I was like “let’s not think about the price of three more skeins” because I love it so much 😭

I totally tagged this wrong 🤦🏻♀️ #showmeyourknits sweater week!

#showmeyourknit Sweater week! Felix sweater in Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair.
I keep saying it’s a bad idea to anger a group of overthinkers who are willing to dedicate hours to strategizing tiny details just for fun. Wouldn’t it be better for them if we spent that energy knitting instead of organizing against fascism?
Great summary of how tariffs are affecting the knitting-related industry in the US. #knitting 🧶

I thought “segue” was pronounced “segg” and had the same meaning as a different word that was probably spelled “segway” but I strangely never saw spelled out 💀

Hand knit bear hats for children
#showmeyourknits Baby knits!
Made these bear hats for my then-toddler twin nieces back in 2021.

I’m not as good at crochet but I had to make my friend’s cat Artoo an R2D2 hat. #crochet #cats #starwars
It was my first time knitting with it and it was a total delight! They feel so squishy but also sturdy!
Fingering weight wool/nylon blend on size 1 needles, about 8 stitches/inch if I remember right.
Definitely a splurge

#showmeyourknits Stripes week!
Yarn: self-striping Targhee Sock by Woolens and Nosh
Thanks! It’s technically fluorescent too, not that I encounter many black lights in the middle of winter 😂

Swatching is still my favorite part of knitting. Trying out my hand dyed yarn for a Rhue Sweater. #knitting #yarndyeing 🧶
Oooooh! I love Sweet Georgia and will have to check the others out
I didn’t even know she made bags!

#showmeyourknits Shawl week! Not a huge shawl knitter for now, but I really loved my October Shawl by Joji Locatelli.
I did the thing we all dread: I accidentally twisted while joining in the round and didn’t notice until ten rows later. This might be a three-year knit just because it’s in time out until I get around to putting in a lifeline and ripping back. #knitting 🧶
Thank you! I want to make a lot more short sleeve sweaters, I’ve worn this so much the past few years

#showmeyourknits For knitter’s choice, my first actually complete sweater from a few years ago. Don’t ask me how many half-sweaters I knit in the two decades of casual knitting before that. Pattern was Owl Sweater by Kate Davies in Cascade Eco+
