Also i finished this hat i had been working on! Go SJ sharks!

New knitting project! I’ve had the orange/pink/white yarn for years and i never knew what to do with it but ive been wanting to work with it so i bought this pink yarn and im going to knit with them together. I think im going to make a top but im not quite sure yet

[fairyberryz]

Progress on the hat I’m knitting! The colors are inspired by the sj sharks. It’s been my project while i watch the olympics.

Why do i feel motivated to knit right when i start my spinning and weaving projects like please let me finish a project

[fairyberryz]

I havent been able to work on my projects because ive been watching the olympics but im dyeing some yarn rn for a new weaving project. Ill share that once i start working on it!

[fairyberryz]

I haven’t been inspired to knit but what i do have is lots and lots of little pieces of roving! Ive been wanting to card them together to spin some yarn for a while and i finally feel inspired to work on it. Currently I’ve done all the pinks and I’m working on the red so we will see how that goes

Here’s the pink i did!

Thank you for liking the progress on my socks! I’ll post more progress when I have time to work on them. Work has been chaotic because of the holidays and I’ve been working on presents so I can post those when I have the chance!

[fairyberryz]

I haven’t posted in forever but I haven’t been making a whole lot so that makes sense but I started making some socks! I’ve never made socks so I’m starting with a worsted alpaca/wool blend I’ve had lying around for a while. I also plan to make matching gloves!

[fairyberryz]

I think it’s sweet when people like my stuff enough to leave a review. Like I’m so happy you like something I made

[fairyberryz]

Im knitting gloves and I think I have the pattern down and I think I’m improving but every time I make one I make a mistake. I’ve made 3 so far 🫠

Sudoku puzzle blanket!

I came up with this idea when I was thinking about how to properly randomize the colors in a granny square blanket.

You'll need 9 different colors (I used white + 8 shades of purple) and 9 squares of each color. Assign each color a number 1-9. Get a completed sudoku puzzle (or solve one yourself) and start assembling!

I had my squares organized in this bin while I was working and kept this picture saved in my phone with the sudoku puzzle picture to make sure I didn't mix any of the numbers up.

I’m knitting a friend of mine some gloves for their birthday. They aren’t on tumblr so I get to post about it :)

It’s my first time using dpns and I’m really enjoying working with them!!

[fairyberryz]

Follow up to the previous post but here’s some of the wool and cotton we dyed :) We used logwood, woad, sappenwood, madder, Himalayan rhubarb, and annatto. I’ll share more photos of some of the yarns once they are dried and washed out

[fairyberryz]

Currently mordanting some wool and cotton for some dyeing I’m going to do in a few days! I’m excited for it to be warm enough to work outside again. This is the wool batch!

[fairyberryz]

Started a new weaving! I’m trying to use up all my acrylic yarn so it’s been a little difficult to work with but that’s ok. I’m liking how it’s turning out!

[fairyberryz]

Currently knitting a little hat out of juniper moons cotton and merino! It’s so nice to knit with!!
