Not interested, sorry 😔

Saw them in my small town sports hall in 1999. As you say, still amazing.

Right here is fine. How can I help?

Amazing, thank you for sharing

What a treat! 😊

😂😂😂

They're great! I use them too, although I am in the UK.

Thank you! The white and terracotta are Drops Fabel, and the green is a hand dyed sock yarn by GamerCrafting, can't remember the name of the colourway unfortunately.

Thank you! 😊

A knitted sock in progress. The sock is knitted toe-up with a contrast toe colour (terracotta), and mosaic inspired colourwork in white and green for the foot. In the background are three balls of yarn in the colours used.

No more Pinterest for me....

Thank you!!

Any excuse for a rewatch to be honest!

I think that is some handspun yarn at the front, but I see what you mean!

A black and white cat can be seen snoozing with his head resting on a colourful knitted blanket on a grey sofa. There is a pile of in-progress knitting in the background.

There is nothing better. Look at his lil snoot!

A hot water bottle lying on a grey kitchen counter, Ealing its newly finished knot cover.

Such a quick little project that will be used right away.

I'm really excited to give it a try. I'll post the results on here for sure!

I did the math for a sweater I knitted from my own handspun a few years ago, and if I was to be paid a fair wage as a skilled professional, the cost would be staggering. How anyone can sell a garment of any kind for a fiver is likely a great injustice.

Thank you! I will look these up. It's such an interesting topic, and provides an important perspective on fashion and textiles as they are now.

Beautiful yarn, and really interesting history and analysis! Do you by any chance have a nice bit of reading on the topic to share?

In an effort to use up stash, I'm knitting new covers for our hot water bottles, in handspun yarn, no less.

Came back from #Morocco with a wealth of calm and inspiration. I want to create a stranded colour work pattern based on some of the mosaics we saw. I'm thinking socks to start.

A woman (me) wearing a colourful cropped raglan sweater with balloon sleeves. It's the Aquamarlin sweater, which uses multiple strands of scrap yarn to create a marked, bulky weight fabric.

#shomeyourknits this week is all about scrappy projects. I know I've posted about this one before, but my Aquamarlin sweater is my top favourite for using up any and all scraps and leftover yarn.

That's so lovely!

Thank you ❤️
