Darning mushroom holding purple and green knit sock in position for sewing in yarn ends. Needle pushed through and being held in front of a wooden table by a woman's hand.

The problem: I lost my darning mushroom

The solution: Etsy mushroom decor

It's solid, gorgeous, and has the perfect little dip on top to make stitching easy. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

The new problem: I have to sew in a year's worth of sock ends...🧢

Yarn hive mind: assemble!

Anyone know where to source similar yarn? 🧢 I love the variegation and speckles and joy. Reverse image search didn't come up with anything...

Bills are in white on blue on white today? It's still summer outside, so I'll set this aside for later.

I also love the thought of making this bow out of an old bridesmaid dress. Truly the only thing they're good for 🀣

I have 800 m of sock yarn looking to become a shawl - show me your favorite patterns! I prefer a crescent or asymmetrical triangle.

Lace? Short row? Stripes? Mosaic?

I wonder if she was trying to learn that way...she was quite the prolific knitter. But family doesn't remember seeing her knit Portuguese style
