#holstgarn — Public Fediverse posts

Sorry I have been away. I fell and broke my two wrists .. A super double bummer when #knitting not talking about the pain and the uncertain outcome.
Surgery was done on both wrists, I now have metal in 3 limbs !
For good measure :

I might have gone a bit crazy with black Friday shopping...

First picture is for two sofa cushions, second is for a coat (yarn used doubled), the last one for a few tshirts ...

(There actually more balls / cones, pictures are to document the colorways)

I'm not completely sure I know everything I wanted to make from it (should have taken notes when I ordered ...)

Before washing / after washing

Every #knitting pattern states, that the gauge swatch needs to be washed and blocked.

While I don't always follow that rule, some yarns really require that step to get an accurate information about how it really looks and behaves.

#HolstGarn Tides is one of those yarns.
