Jeanette Sloan’s Beaded colorwork book next to a ball of beige yarn and 7 pouches of beads.

I bought this lovely book and some beads - super excited to level up some projects 🤩🧶

Today the hat went with its sweater to work and it was deeply satisfying 🤩🧶

I feel you, even though I don’t crochet 😤 lots of knitting junk out there too.

Twister Vi har fallit pladask för Twister, ett riktigt mjukt cake-garn med fantastiska färgövergångar, som utvecklas till ett stort antal färgkombinationer. Med sin sammansättning av 55% bomull och 45% akryl ...

I checked my purchases around that time and I think it may be this one: hobbii.se/products/hp-...

I’m sorry I don’t remember, it’s been three years since I knit it.

A lace shawl in gradient from beige to dark blue.

For #showmeyourknits lace week I must flaunt this shawl I made for this most knitworthy girl’s graduation 😍 it took the most of my knitting skills but oh how nice it turned out. 🧶

Yay love it!🥰

Me in a striped sturdy cowl with simple colorwork in pink and purple.

Made a double cowl from scraps. 20m of each color so pretty small scraps came in handy 😇🧶

When I long for spring but it’s peak winter, at least I can wear pink wool 🌸🧶 #knitsky

Yes! And it’s just as lovely to the hand (and foot)

One white knit sock

First sock project in years. Good commuting project though and lovely yarn 🧶 from #knitritious

Knitting with dog ❤️ I hope tomorrow will be better.

12 picture of yarn and my dog.

This was my weekend: yarn and my dog 🧶🥰 not bad.

One skein and six sets of different but matching buttons.

One of the buttons on the skein.

Oh yarn and buttons 🧶🥰

Me in a pink beanie with a simple cable.

All of a sudden I made one more and took notes while doing it! I even think I could handle a small and informal testknitting 😇 Send me a message if you’re interested. 🧶 is DK or light worsted weight, techniques are twisted rib, simple cable and grafting. #knitsky #knittingdesign

Yes I know! It’s 💯% brilliant!

Yarn in green grey and pink

This one got lost in previous post. Bought the 3 greens 🧶 today to combine with my grey and pink. #knitsky #syochhantverksfestivalen

Yarn in beige purple and oil

Silk yarn in grey and Kommunens snödump in wool

Today’s yarn haul combined with 3 skeins 🧶 from my stash. I see a bright knitting future in front of me 🥰🔮 #syochhantverksfestivalen

Perfect mute apricot center surrounded by goldish metal. Had only two but that was all I needed to finish my variegated Colorado top 🤩

Lovely products! Too bad you are in the US so I’d have to sell a few relatives to pay for shipping 😓

Me in a striped shawl with a yellow cable at the center.

I published a pattern today! The Golden rope shawl 💛 🧶
First publish since November due to pattern production exhaustion 😓 It’s hard work making a pattern come to life and after my next one (almost finished) I will take a break. #ravelry #knitsky #knittingdesign

Selfie with hat in warm beige and green.

Finished this hat in my morning meeting! Knit from remaining 🧶 from my Colorado sweater. #fo #hotn #knittinginmeetings

You are 💯 correct. I could donate both yarn and $ if I just get an address.

Status report on my refurbished 🧶 cardi - it’s coming along nicely! Did something brand new to me: finished the sleeves first. Gives a different feel to the body and I kind of like it 🤓

Yes, it’s nice as long as it’s not hockey 😱

I would either make a knit stitch between the two purls or purl two together to ”remove” one of them and thus get the rhythm back.

Yes of course 🤦‍♀️ brilliantly simple when you think about it. Thank you!

Hey hivemind! I want to embroider on purl sts, can I get that to look ok? All tutorials I can find are for the knit side. Anyone has an example or tutorial? 🤓🧶

Pink and green WIP with marked center line.

WIP with a magazine inside after cutting.

My top two tips and tricks for 🧶steeking:
1. Mark where you will be cutting before reinforcing to avoid crossing the cut.
2. Place a magazine inside your project when cutting to avoid cutting floats 😱

Me in a grey and yellow sweater, early spring.
