  1. Today I finished the first cardigan I've ever made - also my first cable knit! That was 3 months of work and I burnt through several audiobooks :)

    Here's the link for the pattern, btw: garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=

    Ta da! 🎉 Despite trying to chop my index finger clean off (don't ask) and two stitches later (yes, in my finger, not in the work), I have finished the Melt the ICE Toque:

  5. Progress report on my (first) Melt the ICE Toque. I’m doubling the 2x2 rib length to 4” so the recipient can fold it up.

  6. Just off the needles. Knitted in Rowan alpaca soft and I’m never knitting this jumper again 🤣🤣 and please excuse the pjs 🤣 #LoomKnitting #knittersofmastodon #handmade

  7. Can any of you make these animal hug socks? I don't know how much time it would take, or the cost of materials and the pattern, but they are really popular all of a sudden. I think they would look so cute to wear around the house. I've seen them in sloth, rabbit, panda, red tailed panda, koala, axolotl, bunny, bat, cow, dinosaur, raccoon, and tiger.

    I would happily purchase these from an independent small business knitter. I would NOT buy them from a big company. (They won't be as nice as the picture anyway.)

    Edited to say that it did not occur to me, but the image could certainly be A.I. generated in order to trick the consumer into buying an inferior product. What I am wondering is if it's possible to make this and have it look like the picture?

  8. An arthritis flare-up in my left hand, especially my thumb, had stopped my knitting for the past 5 weeks.
    I started my cowl for Skein Yarn’s Accessories KAL on 1st June. The KAL finishes 31st July.
    Last night I knitted a few rows without too much pain. Big question - can I do the remaining 49 rows then Kitchener the ends together by then?
    (Yes, I'm using my beloved DPNs, I honestly don't like circular needles...lol).

  9. I'm ahead because I've already finished April's pair in the Secret-Stash-Busting Sock Along. The yarn is Sweatheart by Jokamamo Textiles with plain pink toes/heels/cuffs.

    Going to start another pair.

  10. March finished in the Secret-Stash-Busting sock along, just waiting till I get my new blockers...lol.

    No pattern used. I just added a few cables.

    Yarn is Wollbiene - Crazy Cotton, these will be bed socks for winter. Never used it before, not sure I like it.

    For those people who don't have instagram here are the details.

    The Secret Stash-busting Sock-a-Long is starting in January 2025! Organised by 111Windmills.

    The idea is to pick sock yarns or sock sets from your stash, wrap them up so each one is a secret and then randomly pick one of your secret yarns each month for a new sock cast on! You can pair them with the patterns of your choice!

    The Sock-a-Long will happen on Instagram and on the free Discord channel (link below). The thread is already up and running with people sharing and chatting all things socks!!

    You can pick as many yarns as you like from your stash (or shop new yarns)

    To get started, pick the sock sets or sock yarn, and wrap each one separately. You can do the same with your knitting patterns if you like!
    Each month (or at whatever time frame you think you can manage) pick out your next sock set and pattern and knit through them all while sharing and supporting fellow knitters!

    OPTIONS:
    - bundle the yarns SEPARATELY from the patterns, and get a mystery pattern/yarn combo
    - bundle the yarns TOGETHER with your chosen pattern for that yarn
    - wrap the yarns ONLY, and select the pattern at the time of getting your mystery yarn
    - any other combo you prefer

  12. @asta Sometimes it helps to try similar terms and tenses. Like #knit #knitting #knitter #knittersofmastodon #menwhoknit might help you find folks to follow and converse with.

  13. This year I succumbed and ordered an Advent Mystery box from eleventyonewindmills.com.au
    I've usually avoided them because I'm bnot into the usual reds, pink, often in them. But this one had me intrigued.

    I'm up to Day 4!

    Lots of hand made goodies from 111windmills.

    Plus all these wonderful dyers have included yarn in the magical adventure!

  14. Yarn arrived, pattern organised. Ready.

    I'm about to start a colour-pooling scarf (once I finish this month's blanket square). Never tried this knitting technique before so should be interesting.
    Basically you knit a simple diagonal lace pattern using the main colour (in this case the mauves & greys) then whenever you reach the contrast (rust) you make cluster stitches.
    (2nd pic shows an example)

  15. Investing in a gorgeous set of #DyakCraft short lace-tip interchangeables has been a game-changer for this project. It was really difficult to ktbl with blunter tips.

    and
    Cattail Silk in Pale Wisteria by Purl Soho Yarns held together.

  16. J’ai fini le motif de mon nouveau pull 💚

    Il me reste à faire une 30aine de rangs de gris unis pour le corps, et les manches (avec là aussi le motif sur les 2/3 de la hauteur).

    J’ai vraiment hâte qu'il soit terminé, la laine est encore plus jolie que ce que j’espérais !

  17. Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
    No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜

  18. I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
    I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
    The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
    The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
    Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.

    Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜

  19. Look what I got!!!
    I was April's prize winner for the #flmalclub2024. Along with the May colour (in the gorgeous mug) I got two skiens that will co-ordinate with those in the club as well as the mug.
    You can see my April square in the 2nd pic. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by fiberlily.com.au/product/make-

  20. Frogging (tinking) it!
    Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
    Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
    Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜
