GEOのアイスランド編み物男子を観たいたら、観光客向けのロピセーターを1年に120枚編むおばあちゃんが登場した。どうやったらそんなに編めるの🤯

Hello 👋
My wrist has gotten better. Thank you all for your messages ❤️
I've been working with this yarn, and it's frankly beyond my expectations! This blue looks like space to me and the neps blue sky and dawn... It's rather dry but gets soft with blocking.
Hope I can show you a new design soon 😃

Hello hello 👋
I'm officially back to knitting and have even started working on a new design.
I'm very grateful to the knitters who have found and bought my patterns despite my absence from social media these months, your support means the world to me 💖

トップダウンの輪編みのセーターを日本式編み図にすると本当に見づらいな(前にも言ったかもしれない。。。😑)

Sweater weather is starting! As the forecast announces much cooler days this week, I put away the summer clothes and got out my handknit sweaters 😃

あらゆるウールの手編みセーターは縦に縮みがちだけれど、Coastは特に縮みが大きい気がする(当社比)。
糸が余っているから裾と袖口を編みたそうかな。

Hello hello 👋
My wrist gets better and I'm slowly getting back to knitting, after 4 months. I just knitted a few rows but it's a huge step forward.

with a rheumatologist I've got for now is on October 1st) and I can't know what's causing this or what I have exactly.
And I haven't knit for two months already! My days without knitting are boring and long 😢
Hope I have an earlier appointment and can at least give a name to my pain.

This is my wrist that has been hurting for more than two months. It started with a light pain in the wrist, and now I have troubles moving my thumb (I'm writing this with my right thumb only).
It's very difficult to have an appointment with a specialist here in France (the earliest appointment

Just sent the last friendly reminder for an unpaid invoice to a British design studio who works with famous British yarn makers. Hope I don't need to sent any further reminders 😕

My wrist has been hurting for two weeks now, and I haven't knit for one week to let it rest, without no signs of improvement. I continue editing other designers patterns and knitting virtually, but it's sad not to be able to knit IRL 😢
