NOTE: Do your dyeing outdoors or in a well-ventilated area! Here is a poster I illustrated that explains the quick n’ dirty method of yarn dyeing that I sometimes indulge in for my knitting projects!

Acknowledging the Tocobaga & Seminole tribes today. 

Seminoles have an incredible tradition of patchwork quilting that has been appropriated and un-recognized by mainstream fashion. I feel like celebrating it.

hey I found that the british history museum is sharing a ton of vintage knitting and crochet patterns from the 40s for free!

Despite what the original Reddit post says, this is just the V&A’s collection. If you haven’t checked it out, you should. If you already know that collection by heart, I’ve saved you a couple of click-throughs.

I found this marvelous hat at my grandfather’s house and made a chart so other people can replicate this delightful pattern.

I am aware that this is very niche content that very few people will care about, but I am so freaking proud of this darning on this sock I did today.

I thought some of you might enjoy a peek at my knitting notebook! Tumblr is so useful but I really love having a physical book for storing all my yarn-related thoughts. This is where I keep cute stitch patterns, color ideas, techniques I’ve learned and even some whole patterns for taking on the go. Perfect for when I don’t have internet access and can’t remember which one is m1r and which is m1l. But mostly, it’s just so nice to sink some time into it once in a while. Taking a moment to draw pictures and make each page something pretty just for me has been so relaxing and rewarding.

Very nice lady in well-made video tutorial: Here’s how you can easily knit a pair of socks as a beginner!

Me, with a double pointed needle sticking out of my ear: sok?

90-95% of this sock has been stress knitted while at the car dealership and DMV so I don’t scream at all the people not wearing their masks properly 🙃

This project is actually a really interesting form of colorwork knitting, called mosaic knitting. Unlike stranded colorwork where you hold two or more strands of yarn, knitting different colors on and off to create a pattern. With mosaic you only work one strand at a time, slipping the stitches that don’t get that color. For example, this pattern goes: slip 2 stitches, knit 2 stitches. This makes it really easy to knit with two colors, creating designs and texture!

Hope that makes sense 😊
