Knitter and General Craft Lover

I enjoy knitting, crocheting, sewing, spinning... you get the picture.

Hey sock babes

I just made a free "tv knitting" level sock pattern compilation. My genius plan is to knit down the list in 2024, marking them as done as I go.

But since it is the season of Yule, Christmas, and general gift giving,

If you would also like 32 sock patterns to go ham on (without spending 2 hrs of work finding patterns) here's the Google Drive.

Merry met, my friends!

Omg id never heard of this! But this person occasionally puts a "mystery knit" up on ravelry! As in, you knit the pattern and figure out what you're knitting as you go. What a fun idea! Here's this week's mystery knit. The pattern is free. Just to iterate something this pattern-publisher is clear about: please don't comment spoilers or tell anyone what the pattern is (at least publicly). Idk if I'll do it this time but I think I'll follow this person on ravelry.

(Technically, this isn’t about saving your hands… but if you draw, you’re probably doing a lot of sitting, so…)
