Thank you. I bought this (hand-dyed) yarn in a LYS in Amsterdam.

Hand-knitted fingerless gloves - one finished one nearly finished layed out flat on a black surface. The gloves are knitted in a hand-dyed, self-striping yarn in bright yellow, orange and red. The gloves are constructed in eight panels - arranged in a pinwheel pattern - around the thumb.

Another version of my soon to come new fingerless gloves design. This time made with beautiful hand-dyed yarn that I recently bought in Amsterdam. 🧶 #knitting

Piece of creme coloured embroidered fabric in an embroidery hoop on a brown wooden surface. The design spells "Welcome to the shitshow" in a sweet flower design in pastel colours.

My first ever piece of #embroidery (after something I did ages ago in primary school). Could it be neater? Of course!
Am I proud that I finished it? Yes!
Will I do embroidery again? Absolutely!
Design by get.stitch.done (on Instagram and etsy)

No, I haven't even finished knitting it yet :) But I only handwash my knits (gently) and then let them dry flat.

Thank you. No, I didn't use anything to stabilize it.

A book (The Twyford Code by Janice Haller) together with one hand knitted sock and the tip of a sock still in progess flat on a white marbled surface. The sock yarn is a dark red.

My knitting mojo is still really low. But at least I managed to finish one sock that I started ages ago. A bit more sock knitting and a nice mystery ... and my weekend is set.
