What I knit in the shadows

Congratulations to your wife and everyone involved! I'm sorry you couldn't be there, but I'm sure you were there for many of the steps before - and yes to marzipan cake and taking care of yourself. Beautiful scarf and wonderful reminder ❤️

Uuh, this looks super nice ✨

Like in "When a woman does it it's a craft but when a man does it it's art"?

Ich hatte von meinem Rückgaberecht Gebrauch gemacht und mir stattdessen die 5" gekauft 😅

Hast du die 4" oder die ganz kurzen? Grundsätzlich könnte ich mir die ganz kurzen noch eher vorstellen, mit den 4" kam ich gar nicht zurecht ... aber meine Nadeltasche ist eh voll, noch mehr Nadeln passen da nicht rein 🙈

OK, a few rows later and it feels like KnitPro Zing and Addi Socks Wonder are both fine for me 🤔 Decisions ... 😅

Haha, nur die beiden 😄 Das sind auch die einzigen die ich mit verschieden langen Nadeln kenne. Bzw. die Chiaogoo Shorties gibt es noch, aber die erscheinen mir dafür zu überdimensioniert (und ich habe Angst bei der Länge das Gewinde kaputt zu machen 🙈) da ich sie wirklich nur dafür nehmen möchte.

Next try: KnitPro Zing. Same idea, but I like their grippy feel much better. Might actually work! 😀 #knitsky

I would like to knit socks. I love the magic loop, but in my mind short circulars are more practical for just throwing the project in the bag. Try 1: Addi Socks Wonder. The length of the needles is actually OK, but the smooth needles feel super uncomfortable to the touch, uuurgh 🤯 #knitsky

The accident was worth it 😄 Well, I have the yarn (cheerful stone gray), the instructions and will probably swatch soon. Maybe the sweater will be next when I've finished the cardigan. But the green Gilliatt is so appealing to me, it will probably be on my needles first ...

17 – your dedication to swatching is amazing 😯 Looking forward to your forest vibes sweater!

Knitted Rainbowshawl (still work in progress) made of plant-dyed yarn on a messy-haired knitter in front of a messy background.

A bit of lunch break #knitting ✨

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app!

Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…

So, a little wistfully, I frogged out the damaged areas. It will probably have one less stripe - but it will be beautiful again ❤️

This blanket kept my babies warm and on many days when I was sitting next to a sleeping or sick child, it kept me warm too. We played and told stories under this blanket. I had to mend it here and there several times. After almost 8 years of heavy use, some of the holes really couldn't be mended.

A lovely person knitted me a baby blanket for the birth of my first child. Nothing fancy, but a wonderful woollen blanket with colorful stripes in green and blue.
