This is not a drill!!! It's HERE!!! My Jamieson and Smith vest dreams are about to come true! 🧶 #knitting #menwhoknit #fiberarts #wool #yarn

You picked great colors!! It's lovely! 😍

You're a braver man than me. Toe-up is enemy number one!! 😂

Update: we have a second cuff, and the stripes are matching pretty well so far. 😋🧶 #knitting #menwhoknit #fiberart

One sock done! Let's get the other one on the needles fast before this one ends up in the drawer alone! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool

And with a tubular bind off to match the cast on, the fisherman's rib scarf is off the needles at last!! The yarn is Homestead Tweed and I didn't follow a pattern. 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

Will hopefully finish my Homestead Tweed fisherman's rib scarf today. My relationship with knit scarves is unchanged (mostly loathing 😂), but this yarn just desperately needed to be squishy. Also first time in ages using straight needles! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #wool #yarn #fiberart

Getting some work done on the WIPs before my vest yarn gets here. Almost done with the foot on this vanilla sock with Regia self striping yarn. 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberarts #wool #yarn

Inside of me there are two wolves. One of them is carrying out the best laid plans. The other is fully rotting.

I'm adventuring further than I ought 😂 I'm vestifying a sweater pattern that is a recreation of a fair isle jumper Paul McCartney wore in this famous photo.

Not sure what makes me feel older, using the am/pm organizer or swapping the days and relabeling it because I like to sort them on Saturdays? 😂

It's a vest-modified version of a recreation of a colorwork sweater Paul McCartney wore 😂 kind of ambitious for me, I know! (if you google Paul McCartney fair isle sweater you'll see the famous picture of him with his coffee cup).

Y'all this next vest is going to be wild 😅 Just got my order in for 12 colors of Jamieson & Smith! 🧶 #knitting #menwhoknit #wool #colorwork

Thank you so much, I tried so hard on the outfit!! Not featured are the lovely elbow patches on the jacket!

Thank you, I'm TERRIBLE at remembering to put this in my posts!! It's called "The Office Vest" by Lisa Carnahan and I knit it up in Plymouth's Galway yarn. I modified the armbands and collar to use a twisted rib and tubular bind off. 😊

Well I've officially worn my new vest casually and formally, and I can safely say it's a success! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

When I'm explaining cables to newer knitters I say "cables are exactly what they look like. If it looks like you're twisting two stitches to the right, you're literally doing that." 😂 I suppose it makes sense that it's the same in crochet but also all crochet is witchcraft to me.

As a non-crocheter, crochet cables blow my mind! 🤯

Pre-blocked it's already lovely!! I can't wait to see it finished!!! 😍

I'm sooo happy with how it's turned out! 😍

Thank you!!!

Well she needs a soak but the "Office Vest" is off the needles and I'm in love already!!! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

Thank you! (I'm so excited because it's looking like it's going to fit perfectly too! Knock on wood)

I decided I'm making four vests this year and started with this one ("The Office" vest) as an easier pattern to start with! You just gotta find a pattern and dive in!

Thank you!!

Guys!! The front and back are seamed together and all that's left is the ribbing! My sweater vest dreams for 2025 are starting off strong! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #cables #wool #yarn #fiberart

The bind off gives it such a nice edge!! Can't wait to see the finished sweater, it's looking so good!!

Knit night couldn't have come soon enough after the work day I just had! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #fiberart #wool #yarn #menwhoknit

Took a break from my #knitting to take the stage. 🧶 #music

Me too, I'm so obsessed!! They're the perfect vibe!
