๐Ÿงถ some progress on a self-drafted raglan knit from #knittingforolive merino and compatible cashmere. I got the inspiration to do the purls in the center of the raglan seam from the Sunday Brunch Sweater pattern. i love how crisp it looks! #knitsky

it's been a rough week. as a chronically ill person, stress & anxiety create a vicious cycle. I'm stressed, which makes me tired and sick, which gets in the way of my life, which makes me more stressed, which makes me sicker.. and so on ๐Ÿ˜– glad it's over, but so not ready for a new week

every time i wear it someone asks me what's on my sweater, and i love that because it doesn't read as an in-your-face floral motif!

๐Ÿงถ T is for Tulip!
Pattern is: Tulip Pullover by Lindsay Degen (on #ravelry and the degen.us website)

i LOVE this sweater and its abstract motif. it was also a really unusual construction for me being knit flat and seamed! (but I don't have nearly enough pictures of it)

(...) folded over themselves again. it keeps me from having to pull yards and yards of yarn through every stitch & makes the whole process better!
i do have to re-do the folds once my initial allowance runs low but it's not that time consuming.
i may be able to film the way i do it @ some point

basically: i take my full length of yarn and give myself a few inches of allowance for actually weaving through. then i take the excess length of the tail and fold it in half over itself 3 or 4 times. then i take those folded loops and thread them as one unit through the needle, where they get (...)

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Grey is my favourite neutrals (well after chartreuse ๐Ÿ˜‚) and is this week's #showmeyourknits prompt. I adapted one of Kate Davies latest patterns to top down. Love her colourwork motif. The background is actually light grey ๐Ÿงถ . #knitting #knitsky

๐Ÿงถ lately I've been knitting on the Grist pullover by Jared Flood of #brooklyntweed . this is SUCH a cool pattern for so many reasons, including (but not limited to) the fact that you work both fronts at the same time! it's also super #sizeinclusive, going up to an 80" bust circumference! #knitsky
