Beautiful! It's a sweet little secret when the parts you can't see are just as gorge as the parts you can.

This is Nora. She saved my life and then took it over.

Fact: There are 34 sweater quantities in The Stash atm.
Also fact: I never have the *right* yarn for any pattern I want to cast on.
2025 goal: pull yarn first, then search patterns.
Tomorrow is Quitter's Day, friends. Light candles for me; I'm weak, and my debit card is nearby.

I've been a Knitty subscriber since 2005 I think, and a Piquant+ Patron member since the Knitty+ features were introduced. Thanks for twenty years of eye-popping inspiration (and the intro to Bluesky!) 🧑

Do you tension your yarn with your left hand when you crochet? Maybe next time you're up to giving knitting a go, try Continental instead of English? I crocheted first, so holding yarn in my right hand was never gonna happen for me. I'm blown away by how fast some people knit English-style!

Can we please stop "measuring" kids' IQs now? Isn't growing up hard enough without expectations and shame?

Amy, this is the cutest!
Also, thanks for the heads up about Bluesky. IG just makes me angry and sad lately.
