My #knitting mojo is still really low. But at least I managed to finish one sock that I started ages ago. A bit more sock knitting and a nice mystery ... and my weekend is set.

Good morning.
Regular listeners will remember that there’s someone who decorates the postboxes in our village regularly with seasonal #knitting and #crochet #art.
Well today I found out that it’s a woman!
I can’t pretend not to be slightly disappointed that it isn’t a man
Maybe I should start making rival toppers and start a turf war?

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.

The #GatherFiberSymposium got noticed by the local media! We were psyched that they invited our lace group in to their month of fiber art celebrations. There are a ton of great events going on.
More details from The Boston Globe (or search archive.youknow for an unpaywalled version).

CLUCK CLUCK, Kniterati! Am loving this new pattern for an Emotional Support Little Chickie. It's a perfect-sized pocket chicken, works up with scrap yarn in a day. A very fun #FO!

My Gothic Flamingo shawl is progressing nicely. The third ball of yarn has been attached, and the rows are very clearly getting shorter now! Have a lovely Friday
I know how much my fellow knitters love a bit of true crime to go with their knitting, so if you're looking for a good listen this weekend, I recommend Scotland Yard: A Bloody History by Simon Read. Harry Myers, the narrator is brilliant! #Knitting #history #books https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D6GY891L/
Very happy with how these are coming along. I haven't done colourwork for a while, and never on socks. I completely avoided it for a while after burning myself out reading endless charts, but repeating patterns are much nicer. Tension around the bend is tricky, but now it's just stockinette and Scavengers Reign until the cuff.
I'll be making two pairs, since it's for a wedding present. I got started early so I don't have to do both pairs in a row. I may even foray into summer #knitting!
Looking for some absolutely incredible #knitting patterns? Audrey Borrego retired her entire store, and ALL of her patterns are free. There are some amazing ones here. Go forth, and enjoy!
Okay. I caved. Because I went through my stash and found this heavenly combination of colours. So will be casting on a new project tonight.
#testknitting
And yes, I already have too many other project going on but those can wait for a few months before it will be cold enough to wear them / finish them.
And yes, I have other things besides #knitting to do, but well. Who cares about earning money. The world is aflame. Better to knit into oblivion.
Saying goodbye to multiple hours of work before frogging it all
Hur går det med era röda halsduksstickningar inför söndag?
En och en halv meter borde man klara, en och en halv decimeter bred. Men ifjol hade jag tillgång till en stickmaskin.

Guess I should note that i started #knitting a new pair of #handKnitSocks because i finished the old pair!
Pretty much just stole the stitch pattern from Belle de Jour by Natalia Vasilieva and shoved it into my usual #knitSock recipe
And another new #knitting project started!
A new pair of socks for
@wplalonde
Modifying to be toe up, of course, since that is apparently the only way i can knit socks
Nu op naar de volgende fase en dat is komend weekend op een proeflapje meerderen met M1L en M1R (dat is nieuw voor me en moet om en om voor de raglan-meerderingen).
En checken of ik dit deel van het patroon snap, in wat ze zeggen over “elke tweede naald” en elke “vierde naald”.
Maar dat gaat lukken want ik ga me niet weer zo lang laten blokkeren - verdorie.
Er hangen hier nu tekstballonnetjes met “hoera, zie je wel dat je het kunt!”
Hoera! Ik had een enorme blokkade op het meerderen na de 16 cm boord en m’n breiwerk lag minstens een maand naar me te staren met tekstballonnen erboven “stop maar, je kunt dat niet” en “je gaat het verpesten”.
Maar nu eindelijk een helder hoofd en die meerderingen gedaan en dat stelde dus geen drol voor Alleen een helder hoofd en goede moed en steekmarkeerders (en een dubbelcheck bij @cynthiastreef of ik de juiste meerdering-steek had).
Ik ben blij!
