Knits and Nonsense

Honestly... not so much nonsense. Mostly knits.

Frogged my original sock plan for this. Working on something that sparks more joy.

Random minis and leftovers that I faded together.

I'm super obsessed with this one.

Sneaky peek.

I cannot express how happy I am to finish these. I had to re-do sock #1 three times. 😭. I also confidently cast on sock #2 and just... didn't check the pattern and had to frog it to redo since it isn't actually k2, p2 ribbing like I thought. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love how exactly these match. I love the stripes. I did not love knitting these. This yarn split like crazy. I used relatively sharp needles so I guess that could have contributed.... But also it could have been the yarn.

Sigh. I saw a post asking about wool-free yarn... Went away to find them a link and now can't find the post.

There is a yarn store in Canada that only does wool free yarn: Sheepless Yarns

One down. Second already cast on!

Went to "Fiber Camp" for a day. Dyed yarn for the first time.

Pulling from the deep stash on this one. Pretty sure I've had this at least 11+ years! 🫠😬

Currently just enjoying endless garter stitch.
