Slowly plugging away at my โ€œyear longโ€ blanketโ€ฆit might actually be more like 8-9 months as itโ€™s getting big fast, and cutting it short a couple months would save me money ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿค” #knitting #blanketalong #yearlongwip

How To Knit: Italian Tubular Bind Off The Italian Tubular Bind Off is a variation of a โ€œstandardโ€ tubular bind-off that allows you to graft your stitches together without separating them onto two needles. It is quite neat and stretchy, an...

I do not, I use brooklyntweed.com/pages/how-to... as my reference, but I will add a video tutorial to my list of possible videos in the future, when I have a way to properly set that up and it be helpful.

Pattern: Worsted Boxy
๐Ÿงถ Spun Right Round Worsted in Ainโ€™t no Disco
I made the XS which has a bust circumference of 64in which will give me approximately 30 inches of positive ease.
The yarn softened up beautifully after being soaked and the fabric has even more drape than before

Crummy lighting, but the back of my Worsted Boxy by Joji Locatelli is done. Yes I did the back first when the pattern is written for the front firstโ€ฆwill it matter in the end, nope. Iโ€™ve been hyper focused on this project and canโ€™t wait to get to wear it! #knitsky #knitting #showmeyourwips

I find crochet faster cause even using the same weight of yarn the rows themselves are taller with crochet than knitting for most things, a crochet beanie is a fraction of the rows a knit one would be using the same exact yarn. I find crochet uses more yarn than knitting as well for the same items

Worsted Boxy is progressing along nicely now that the blanket knitting is finished. A nice change of pace to go from fingering weight to worsted weightโ€ฆat least for a little while. ๐Ÿงถ #showmeyourwips #knitting #knitsky

I know ours has a rinse and spin settingโ€ฆthis is superwash so Iโ€™m not to concerned about felting or anything- but I donโ€™t have a great place to put it to dry

Poor lighting, but I finished the bind off! I have 8 or 9 ends to weave in and then I have to figure out how best to block this throw. Just steam it? Quick rinse and spin then drape over shower curtain rod? How do you #blockyourknits ? #bindoffcomplete #knitting #knitsky #finishedblanket
