Starry socks, finally complete!! I started these back in February, but got waylaid by top surgery and other projects - so happy they're done! I picked black and white because I'd just finished playing 'In Stars and Time' ⭐

Pattern: 'Stars in the Evening Sky Socks' by Cindy Craft

Yarn: White is random acrylic scrap, black is a lovely fluffy mohair that I got in a yarn advent calendar from Alterknit Universe!

I re-did the front and hem of this crochet shirt! I was never totally happy that I ran out of purple and had to finish it with blue, so when I frogged the exact purple yarn I needed from another project, I new I needed to switch it! It was super fiddly but I'm happy with the result :)

Yarn: Cascade 220 Fingering

Had an amazing time at The Big Flock last weekend!! I'm a bad social media poster and forgot to post pics. Everyone was so lovely and I've never been to an event like this before so it was awesome seeing everyone's work 🤩

My haul is from: Pixie Yarn, Butternut Handmade, birdstreet yarn, Thread & Yarn, Lilliput Wight, and Notion and Needle. I also got a pattern from The Knitting Shed I'm super excited to try!!

Photos in order after the haul: Eighty Skeins Yarn, Needle & Feather, Thread & Yarn, Blue Fern Yarns, the little grey girl, Urban Purl

Starting a new sweater but because it's top down and a men's sweater pattern I think I'm going to have to knit down to the armpits without the fun stripes as a test .... I'm predicting the increases will be too slow for my very short torso 😔

A little honeycomb blanket!! A while ago I frogged my old honeycomb pillow and I've finally repurposed the yarn! Managed to use ALL of it too, and I had to split strands of the darkest colour in half just to have enough to sew it up 💪 stash busting king

Yarn: Scheepjes Chunky Monkey in 'Yellow' and 'Canary' (I wouldn't really recommend this yarn though it splits like crazy). Plus a darker border colour which I have no idea about! Oops

Pattern: I referenced a bunch of different YouTube videos for flat crochet hexagons

[hibernationfibres]

My autumn-tones hexagon cardigan!! 💫 I'm so happy with how all of the colours look together - and I used up a bunch of stash too 💪

Pattern: A classic hexagon cardigan - I referenced this video and added extra rows in the back and sleeves so that the proportions were right

Yarn: 'Stylecraft Special Chunky' in (I think) Teal, Khaki, Meadow, Camel, Copper, Burgundy, Dark Brown

I didn't hate the sweater vest but it was HEAVY and the size was just wrong 😭 realistically it would have just sat in my wardrobe unused. But the beauty of yarn is it can be remade! I'm coming to love frogging haha

[hibernationfibres]

Super-long scrap yarn scarf I made for my mum!! Plus a matching one for Klaus :D This was a Christmas gift but I kept forgetting to get pictures rip

Yarn: random stash DK! I think most of it's acrylic

Pattern: 1x1 rib until the cows come home! this is my favourite way to make a squishy, warm, reversible scarf

[hibernationfibres]

These lovely lace mitts were a lovely Christmas gift for my friend! ❄️ So happy to finally use this yarn I've had for literally forever

Pattern: Cirrus Mitts by Sandra Buzzza

Yarn: no idea 😢 it's lace weight and very pretty! I wish I could remember but I've had it for like 6 years with no label

[hibernationfibres]

A mini version of my Outer Wilds blanket - made as a Christmas gift for a lovely friend!

Pattern is mine, and the yarns the same as the large blanket other than the background which is King Cole Subtle Drifter DK - Navy

Got some new storage and sorted my whole yarn stash!! It's great to have everything more organized, and I found some lovely yarn I'd forgotten all about! Can't wait to bring them out of hiding 🌟

Edit: repost because this got flagged as mature 😭??

My little crochet shirt!! I was determined to use up a ton of scrap sock yarn I had, and here's the result 🌈

Yarn: All different shades of Cascade 220 Fingering (I couldn't tell you which ones)

Pattern: The base is essentially the same as a hexagon cardigan, just with short sleeves and extra width where needed. I based the collar on the method in this video by Stephani Tashi

[hibernationfibres]

Cozy toes socks! This lovely gradient kit knit up so nicely - I wanted to make it look like they have warm toes :D like warming your feet by a cozy fire.

Pattern: 'Go Your Own Way Socks' by Stacey Winklepleck - with my own slip-stitch pattern to transition the colours more gradually

Yarn: 'Autumn Equinox 2023' set by Pixie Yarn

[hibernationfibres]

Meadow Balaclava - this pattern turned out so lovely, I'm so happy to finally show it off! It's designed to use up one 100g skein in two different colours, and has such a fun look with the alternating granny squares!

Pattern: My own! Available now on Ravelry (£4) and Etsy (£5)

Yarn: Felt Fusion/Fae Folk Fibres DK in 'Morgan Le Fay' and 'Hyster Sprite'
