Not that I'm aware of. I taught myself out of a book that didn't explain how to hold things very well. This is what I ended up with organically.

A quick minute of #swatching on 3/3/26. I still haven't decided on my next big project. #knitting #knitsky

My problem is that several years ago I stopped buying anything red. I don't have any red yarn in my stash, and I'm not planning on buying more yarn till I've used up more of what I already own.

They could be, I've had them for +20 years πŸ™‚ They're hollow plastic with some sort of (presumably) metal weight inside.

It very much wasn't! πŸ™‚ Fortunately it was just a swatch, so I won't be spending more time fighting with it.

I try to keep my background stuff subtle πŸ™‚

I agree! If I were making something larger I definitely wouldn't be using these needles.

Just a swatch. I'll just make random patterns till I make a decision on a "real" project that likely won't use any of them. πŸ™‚

It's for me and/ or my second kid. We tend to share scarves.

It depends on what I have going on. Some days it's not much more than 1 minute. But if I feel like watching a movie instead of playing video games, I can get a lot done. πŸ™‚

We are. It's of the needles. Now I just need to decide if I want to block it or not.

That's my 2024 temperature blanket. Every day in 2024 I knit a row that corresponded to the previous day's high temperature.

Sometimes knitting is a "trust the process" kind of situation. πŸ™‚
