Hi there πŸ¦‰! Having had problems with my hands as well as problems connecting to Bluesky (now obviously resolvedπŸŽ‰), I haven't been very active here.
In any case, I made another video in which I explain what I've been doing over the past few weeks 😊🧢.

For those interested, here's the 2nd episode of my (video) knitting podcast 🧢! I've made some progress on wips and started on new things.
I'm still very new to this so don't hesitate to tell me what to do better next time 😊

I have a hard time focusing on anything if I'm not doing something with my hands. So I usually knit without looking while doing other things. Unless it's something like lace or following a diagram.

Yes I also figured it out but that was something that was talked about in the test (I tested the pattern) if I recall correctly!

Start of a new knitting project laying on a ball of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk and Holstgarn Tides yarns on a table in front of a light wall. The work in progress is a golden brown colour stripped with heathered navy blue with a pattern of three stripes and a larger space in between. The sun is coming from above, making the piece of knitting lighter where it hits. On the right of the project is a ceramic perfume recipient with a dried leaf and wooden sticks coming out of it.

I've started another project that I had in mind for a long time now. I hope it'll work out. The 🧢 are #knittingforolive Pure silk and #holstgarn Tides. (If you're curious, I've talked about it in my podcast thingy video πŸ˜€).
Let's see how it'll turn out ! #knitsky #knitting

That mustard yellow (sort of) suri is particularly beautiful ! Do you already know what you'll make with all of these pretty yarns?

I'm trying all the things at the moment to see what works best for me (+ my health).
I really want to share the things I make and try to connect with other people, and so I made a -video- podcast !
So welcome over there if you're into that sort of thing ☺️🧢 #knitsky #knitting

Hand knitted work in progress sweater on a hanger in front of a white wall. The sweater has two parts separated with a lateral braid. The top part is pink and beige. It is worked in reverse stockinette with twisted stitches columns. The bottom part is beige and worked in stockinette with staggered cables.

I realized that I haven't posted my sweater progress over here ! It has no name at the moment, but it's such a pleasant knit. I'm knitting it with #biches&buches le petit lambswool+petit silk and mohair. I can't wait to see how it'll turn out. #knitting #knitsky

Thank you very much πŸ˜€. There are different kinds of magnet buttons, I've used very thin ones that you can sew on. They aren't extremely powerful, but you don't need that much strenght to keep it perfectly closed.

Picture of a person seen from front wearing a collar. Half of the face is visible, with the top half cropped out of the picture. The collar is in a black alpaca yarn mixed with cotton and results in a subtly marled colour. The collar pattern is named Hubane and is a collar that opens up in the front. This version is shown with magnet buttons and shown in size 2 and the model has a 30 cm / 11 3/4 neck circumference.

Yeah, I saw that she decided to stop her business but I'm really happy that she will continue to share her knitting and that she is well. I actually tested a shawl for her some time ago and I love it (the Tramea). I should knit something else from her but there's not enough time in a day !

I wanted to knit this one sometimes. The colour you chose is beautiful !

Thank you very much, I agree that it is a very cosy sweater ! I'm happy to learn that it wears well because I'm planning to wear this one a lot :D

Thank you! It is so comfortable too, I hope that this yarn will last and don't wear out with time. It's the 1st time I use it and I'm pleasantly suprised for now.

And the Rillen sweater by Rui Yamamuro is finished! I loved making it, i'll love wearing it. I'm a bit sad that it's done, this was so pleasant to make. The yarn is #cascade220heathers

Thank you for writting this post. Even if I knew most of the things, it's always very handy to have such a well written article that goes into all informations that you need in one go. Perfect to share to someone that wants to learn. It's also cool to still find written things over the video format
