Yeah that’s a wild answer - I hope the OP got some better replies, but I’m now also dying to know what that other knitter is doing!

Six women stand in a yarn shop, all holding different versions of the Toph Hat by Woolly Wormhead. The hat features a wavy pattern in two colors, created by short rows. The women are all smiling and are clearly proud of their work.

A fun and successful class! We taught the Toph Hat by @woollywormhead.bsky.social and look at these awesome results!
Students learned lots: chart reading, short rows, grafting in garter stitch, and more.
You should come take a class with us!

Sunday Sit and Stitch at Seattle Yarn is all day, 11-5! It’s a little more free-flowing than our Wednesday nights, since people drop in and out throughout the day. Looking for some crafting company? Come hang out with us!

We are also still collecting warm clothing for Washington farm workers through Valentine’s Day. Farm workers bring food to our tables - they deserve dignity and comfort! Handmade and store bought warm things are both very welcome. 🧢🧣

A handwritten note says, β€œWE ARE OPEN” in big all-caps, and β€œpardon the mess” in smaller all-caps below. The sign is taped to glass and you can see plywood is behind the glass.

So hey! We didn’t know this work was starting today, but we ARE open, and no, it wasn’t a break in. All is well - we’ll have a nice new entryway soon.
And you know, the yarn inside is yummy as ever - and it’s cold! - so come get your goodies! 🧢❀️

A group of people sitting at a long table in a brewery are all looking at the camera and smiling. The table has food and drink and yarn on it.

We had our January gathering of our #TemperatureGang on Saturday at the Good Society Brewery (right next door to the shop!). It was so fun to compare different versions of a #TemperatureBlanket (some crochet, some knit), color choices, etc. We’ll be back next month!

Elspeth has a plan for a knit blanket I’m pretty sure - I can’t remember the details but I can ask her.

Hi! So there are some folks who do just two rows a day, garter stitch. Some folks do a miter square and so half in the low and half in the high temp. You could do something like the Tin Can Knits Fly Away blanket with high on one side, low on the other, and average temp as the stripe in the middle?
