Y’all, I finished blocking my swatch for my first ever sweater yesterday and am now ready to cast on. I’m nervous and wildly intimidated, but we press on! 🧶

Y’all, I am 8 rows from the end of a cowl I’ve been working on for 2 months and I’m out of my main color 😭😭 my gauge must is too loose and now I need to frog a significant amount of it to fix it. I’m genuinely so upset and disappointed. I want to shove it in a corner but then I’ll never finish. 🧶

This is the vibe tonight 😍

Literally so impressive! It’s amazing 😍

A Lego Nightmare Before Christmas set

It’s finally time to build this 😍😍💀😍😍

Rapture update: I’m still here, and apparently that means I’m still “expected to go to work” 🙄🙄😭

Hopefully traffic is lighter

What a vibe! 😍

Y’all I’m so excited for this!!! I have been waiting so long! 😍

Y’all, all I want is to knit some fall/spooky season socks. I just need to find the right yarn! Weirdly I feel like there’s not a ton of dyers with fall colors yet. I may need to broaden my horizons and find new yarn dyers

I feel the exact same way. I’m ready to get off this ridiculous ride, but there seems to be no end in sight.

Absolutely! It’s so hard to actually “own” anything anymore. And even if you can “buy” digital goods, most services now have some wording nested in the EULA stating that they can revoke your access at any point. It’s so crazy

100%! It’s honestly so gross, and it’s heartbreaking to watch things you once loved slowly get worse and worse.

Gotta love the capitalistic enshitification of every product that’s ever existed in the name of eternal profit growth. 🙃

Multicolored hand knit striped socks being worn looking down on them from above

Forgot to post, but I finished my first socks about a month ago!! I’m literally in love with them and so excited that they are done! I’ve moved on to a mosaic knitting project and am already missing the mindlessness of the socks. 🧶🧦

Y’all I am so burned out, and I have no idea how I am supposed to recover and improve my mental health with all of *gestures around broadly* this going on 😭

These colors are 😍

Thanks for the additional recs! The pattern calls for DK so I’ll look at these since pound of love only comes in worsted.

Thanks for the recs! I’ll have to go feel some new skeins and look at the others as well!

Ooh I’ll take a look at those!

Well you make it sound easy enough! Though my counting is always questionable 😂. Thanks for the video! I’ll give it a watch.

That’s the second recommendation I’ve gotten for pound of love! That may be the route I go!

Probably a soft acrylic, cotton, or a mix of the two? Something that will hold up and look nice

Awesome! I’m totally fine with acrylic as long as it’s soft! Now to find somewhere nearby that has some that I can feel. All my LYSs carry really nice wools but not many acrylics.

Oh I might have to give this a try! Those skeins are humongous! I’m low key super nervous to try mosaic because I’ve never done it before and so now I’m wondering if I need to do some small project first so I don’t mess up the blanket. 😂☠️

The Craft Mosaic Afghan pattern by Abi McIntyre There used to be a quaint wee shop called ‘The Green Witch’ in the town of Aberdour, Scotland.

For those wondering I think I’m going to do this pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I’m so excited. This will be my first mosaic crochet pattern as well so I’ve got some test granny squares to do.

Hey, y’all! Looking for good recommendations for yarns to to use for afghans! I’ve used Red Heart Super Saver in the past but don’t love how scratchy it feels. Any recommendations are welcome! 🧶

Y’all I just learned that Utah Yarn Crawl starts next week and I couldn’t be more excited. 😍

Yes! My hands are large as well so that’s been the hardest issue is my ring and pinky fingers just dangling around with nowhere to go 😂.

A work in progress hand knit sock on 9 inch circular needles

Update on the 9” circulars, I am slowly getting more used to them. Still fussing with how I hold my hands trying to stop the cramping. The workflow however is 😍. I love that I can just go round and round without having to readjust my needles every 30ish stitches like I do on magic loop. 🧶

A knit test swatch for a mosaic knitting pattern

Finished my test swatch for the @sweetpaprikadesigns.com skill builder box that I just got! I’m pretty sure my gauge is going to be off so now I’m debating if I have enough yarn to do another swatch. 🧶
