My single stitches, as in the center of the flower, were disappearing, so I started double-wrapping them. They lie nicely and make up for any undue tightness. #knitsky

I *love* knitting on the back deck. But our cat gets jealous that she canโ€™t get out, and since sheโ€™s expert at prying open the slider, I canโ€™t relax!

I tend to drop stitches when Iโ€™m not looking. I also find extra yoโ€™s or weird-ass things from 3 rows down.

For me itโ€™s been โ€œBoring.โ€ I donโ€™t know why, I feel all knit out. Nothing excites me.

More green! Rainbow Flora in Juniper Moon Farms Cumulus. This cotton is an absolute dream to work with. I have since removed the ribbing and added 6โ€. Iโ€™m too old for โ€œcropped.โ€

6โ€ sock, 8โ€ standard (for sleeves?). I didnโ€™t know there were different sizes until I accidentally ordered 8โ€ dpns, US 1. Iโ€™d poke my eye out if I tried to knit socks on those!

No. I suppose the โ€œhorseshoeโ€ shaped needles would be similar in that they donโ€™t take up much space or get in the way.

I knit to stay calm, but I think Iโ€™m cancelling out the benefits by watching political YT. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Spirals. You canโ€™t knit directly off them, but theyโ€™re easier to manipulate.

Is Gnicolas from the Gnomes of Grimblewood book? Heโ€™s adorable! I want to knit every single one!

For #FinishItFebruary, I finished 6 of 7 WIPโ€™s, mended 5 of 6 things planned, but now have to mend a snag on one of the WIPโ€™s Iโ€™d finished. ๐Ÿ˜ข Content with my progress. Now โ€œshopping my queueโ€ for the next few projects!

All of ours are going to disappear. Luckily there is a LYS nearby that also stocks fabric, but itโ€™s quilting stuff. I will miss Joannโ€™s when Iโ€™m in need of something more specialized.

Iโ€™ve got medium and large of the same kind, but medium is what I use most often.

Sometimes the yarn knows what it wants to be! No sense fighting it.

VeryPinkKnits refers to this as the โ€œWind Chimesโ€ stage. It gets easier.

I just got this book too! I canโ€™t wait to finish my current projects so I can start these.

Iโ€™ve had partial retinal detachment. The surgery itself isnโ€™t bad, but recovery is slow. Iโ€™m glad you werenโ€™t suffering from that. I wish you a speedy return to normal.

I use a spiral needle, and itโ€™s just on the table next to me between rows.

I hate when that happens! A shawl I made for my mother ended up this way, so after she passed, I brought it home and frogged it and made it again. She wouldnโ€™t hear of it when she was alive, which I guess is what Moms do. โค๏ธ
