I think this is the scariest part of a sweater. Does it actually fit or as my grandpa would always say- “it fits where it touches”. 🧶#knitsky

I find they’re a little easier to differentiate when directional increases are important to the pattern.
But I always remember M1R is haRder 😆

You could also try lifted increases! youtu.be/W0V359rMUTs?...

I could have but it was clunky looking. Luckily I don’t hate weaving in ends 🙃

Finished this sweater last week. Just needs some buttons. Only had to weave in 224 ends 👍🏻

Woke up today unwilling to put up with socks that have gotten a bit short and uncomfortable. Pulled them off my feet, ripped out the toes, and dug out the leftover ball (yay organized stash hoarding). By lunch time I’ll be able to put them back on. 🧶 #knitsky

It’s so sparkly! I’m obsessed.

I have been influenced and bought the silliest fun yarn. A sweater for the inner child maybe?

Just realized my dog pre-flinches when he comes in for pets because he’s waiting to get zapped with static shocks. 😅

Made some fish socks for my partner’s friend. I haven’t done that much duplicate stitch in a while. Borrowed the fish from Claire Butchkoski’s Trout Mitten pattern.

The dogs that’s afraid of practically everything is totally fine with the walking pad???

I don’t think the cross stitch one does that but we’ll be able to find the repeat and it would be a good place to start putting it into a knitting chart.

I can try and pop it into my cross stitch software. It’s a little more detailed than my knitting software

What’s the challenge?

The wrapped I’m most proud of 📚💙

For patterns like this I like to work in an assembly line style - I do ten middles, weave in the ends, then work ten of the next round, etc etc.

Finished this bad boy with plenty of time to spare. #crochetsky #handmadeholiday 🧶 pattern from NautiKrall Crochet

Black and white dog curled up on his side using a human leg as a pillow.

Spent the first half of the day with the devil in his heart, and now he’s a sweet baby.

I’m always a little disappointed every year that my book related apps don’t offer a wrapped thingy. 📚💙

Oh yeah I never remember to get photos of FOs. By the time it’s done blocking I’ve moved on 😅

Just well practiced haha. I’ve been doing handwork since I was about three and went to school for fine arts/textiles

Not finished yet! I’ll probably pick it back up after the holidays.

Old farts are my main demo ❤️ thank you for all of the kind words, you’ve made my day

Especially when he’s asleep 😂

To be fair- all the yarn sold inside Michael’s is kinda crap. And they haven’t had even sweater quantities of any one color for years.

Yeah I didn’t end up gifting this one. Just turned out kinda blah

Grannies are so fun! I usually use a continuous join as you go situation. I’m not about to seam all those together.

I was using a magic circle for these and then trying the the end off later with a darning needle.

Could a depressed person do this?? Crocheted 99 starbursts in 9 days. Aaaaaand I didn’t run out of yarn #grannysquares #crochetersinthesky
