Thanks! Me too!!

Red and silver/white striped socks on a wooden floor.

Sorry, I have been off the grid. All threats from the US to destroy Canada are really tiresome and exhausting. Here are the latest socks I've been knitting 🧶

Thank you all for following g my Crocus-in-the-Snow mittens journey. They are done 😍🧶 From the book Knit Like A Latvian. I'm especially proud of the thumbs.

White mitten inside out with pink and green floats.

Floats 😍😍😍 trying to knit colourwork inside out for the first time. So far it doesn't make much of a difference 🤔🧶

Good for it! I didn't even look at the requirements and just used the yarn and needles I always use. As long as all your yarn is fingering weight and your needles are somewhere between 2.5 and 3 mm, you're good!

I hope you still wear them 😂

Haha thanks! I'm surprised too. I want to do more colorwork because I want to improve my tension :)

Thank you 😀

White mitten with pink flowers and green leafs.

First crocus mitten is done! The thumb is not completely invisible but I'm happy with it. Still have to take care of all the ends. Pattern from Knit Like a Latvian. 🧶

Thanks!! I'm afraid I'm making them for myself 😃

I am so sorry! This is really heartbreaking :( I hope they'll take back the tariffs!

Yes, I agree!

I think folks in Canada are really mad at Trump (and probably those who voted for him) and not Americans in general. Yes, it is an important friendship.

Yes, it's a shame!

I'm sorry! I hope Americans are able to resist as much as possible.

I agree! Everyone loses!

Dear Knitpicks team, it is with a very heavy heart that I'm writing this email. Given the Trump tariffs on Canada, I won't be able to support you as an American business at this time.

Sent a message to one of my favourite yarn companies this morning 😢 just felt like I needed to do and say something. 🧶🇨🇦

Yes, I'm knitting in the round with magic loop. It works just as well as on dpns. My book says it's written for dpn but can be knit on circulars. The only time dpns are even mentioned is during the thump and it's easily translated to circulars 😊

Thank you so much 😃

White mitten with pink flowers with green stems. Only missing the top and the thumb.

Update on my Latvian mittens, pattern is from the book Knit Like a Latvian. Keep calm and knit on, everyone! 🧶

Thanks so much for your suggestions, will check them all out :)

Yeah he's basically running three economies into the ground and people everywhere already struggle to by groceries!

I'm so glad that there's politicians out there fighting this! We've been stocking up on staples too.

I'm so sorry too!! I can't imagine what it's like living in the US under this regime! I hope there will be lots of resistance in all areas!

Wow, thanks so much for sharing 😊

Very cool, thanks for sharing 😊

Has anybody started a thread on #Canadian yarn?
Thought it might be good to have as a knitter in Canada, impacted by the disgusting unnecessary trade war started by the fascist down south 🙁🇨🇦 ❤️🧶

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain 😊 I'm not sure what I did, but I'm a very tight knitter, so maybe that helped in this case?

Thanks!! I love this yarn too it's so perfect for colour work 😍

Thanks 😊 could you explain what flare means here, I'm sorry I don't know 🙈😊
