not all who wander are lost ✨🏔️🪡
Two friends gifted me their Polwarth handspun and I finished a scarf. ❤️ They spin very differently, so this project showcases the varied yarn texture beautifully.
The pattern is Black Forest Brioche by Kieran Foley narrowed into a scarf. As someone who enjoys brioche knitting, I REALLY loved this pattern. It may be the first flat-knit brioche piece I found relaxing!
Bonus, it’s a gift for one of the spinners (who dyed and spun the pale yarn). It matches a hat I spun and knit for him out of more of the same fiber he dyed earlier. So he’ll have a matching set!
First sock done, time to start the second
I don't usually post my non-fandom craft stuff but I worked for a long time on this tablecloth so I wanted to show it off😌
HOLY SHIT
Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!
Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.
And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition
I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch
The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

I looked at some of the tutorials last night and holy shit I'm so impressed! They're SO thorough! Not only do they have written and video instructions, but there are photo and illustration options for each image AND a "flip view" button so that left handed people can see all the images in reverse!
While waiting for the turkey to cook.
This is sooo pretty!!!
I found this marvelous hat at my grandfather’s house and made a chart so other people can replicate this delightful pattern.
Tag me in your current project! I love seeing what everyone is working on, and I need some motivation if I’m going to get back on my beekeeper quilt bullshit
After some trial and error, I’m officially knitting my first ever shawl. (in a place that doesn’t have winter, lol)
Looks great so far!! And that color is so nice and sunsetty
Knitting a baby blanket for my unborn nibling
Aw sweet 😭 that looks beautiful
A throw for my boyfriends mom!
Really impressive!!
Blankie (it’s my first knitting project)
That’s so exciting! I love the color
Taking a break from one knitting project to work on the XYZ Scarf with yarn from A Hundred Ravens (they’re great, nerdy and LGBT as fuck). I’m loving the bounce on this thing so far. Dreading weaving in the ends but too in love with the stripes to care.
Holy moly that yarn 😍 I’ll need to check out that yarn shop bc im in love
Socks! One down, one leg to go. They’re 3x1 rib with a princess sole but I messed up the toe on the first one so the toes are normal and the rest of the sole is purl side out. The yarn is Regia Denim sock yarn. This has taken me at least a month and a half. They’re my bus journey/lunch break project and progress has been slow
OBSESSED with this color!! Socks have always been a slow knit for me too. Second sock syndrome is REAL
I started knitting this shawl last December hopefully I can get it finished soon
That’s BEAUTIFUL!!
I’ve been working on my first real sweater for a while, but am running out of yarn and can’t get more until our stay at home orders are over
It’s a shame you’ve had to/are going to have to put it on hold because it looks beautiful so far! What pattern are you using?
A shawl called “Don’t Panic”, but put it on hold so I can start fresh when this situation is over.
New knitting project, knit exclusively in the round. It’s called the Zodiac by Sharon Winsauer. :)
@thesleepyknitter
Ahhhh I love when these come back on my dash!!! I’m working on a tank top using leftover fingering yarn from past projects! I didn’t have enough of the multi pink/purple but I had a separate pink and burgundy that seem to work with it for the ribbing !!! Happy Quarantine Knitting !!! 💖
I swear this is going to be a poncho some day lmao
It feels like it’s taking ages to knit up but mostly progress is slow because I keep procrastinating with other projects. Definitely the biggest thing I’ve attempted so far!
Actually just finished this today. Here’s the work while it was in progress.
Working on my Afterglow tank while watching It 2. The yarn is Berroco Remix light (recycled cotten/linen) so it should be nice and cool in this hot as balls weather.
My sister called these “funky”.
So this is my next sock project. One down and one to go!
progress!!! im gonna set up for the decreases soon!!
@wooglyoogly i only have the chart for the colorwork that i made up!!
it’s an 8 stitch repeat over 4 rows, then in the new color i would do 3 plain rows before doing the colorwork again
I'm just... in love with this project. Nice squishy fishermans rib with merino wool in this fabulous color
Let’s talk about sweaters
It took me quite awhile before I felt comfortable enough to knit a sweater, mostly because I had a lot of foundational work I felt like I needed to do before I could approach it. So, for a while I just neve knit them assuming it was too hard.
One day I just really wanted something to show for all of my swatches and practices and experiments, so I decided to just jump in.
My first sweater was a riff off of a basic pattern, I felt like the pattern could hold my hand while I felt free to be a little more creative and try things out.
This sweater was the first result. I was proud I finished a garment but the variegated yarn pooled completely different than I thought. My rainbow sleeve didn’t quite have the effect I wanted and my COLLAR WAS ALL WRONG. I realized how many things I wanted to just redo myself, and I felt a couple tweaks would be able to get that perfect sweater. This was called the “Sunburst sweater” because of the ombré on the collar. Maybe one day I’ll revisit this to get a more effective outcome.
So for the first time I decided to try at it all my own. This was the result. I took my sisters measurements and decided to try and knit a sweater in her favorite color. I thought I got my gauge right and I wanted the gut area slightly bigger so that you could wear it on a full stomach— I failed to realize that I was unintentionally creating an A line. I gave the sweater too much ease for a bulky weight yarn. I felt better about the collar but man did this look and feel weird. I’ll admit I was pretty discouraged after this. This sweater is in my frogging pile ready for when I’m ready to tackle it again. (I have ideas) This was going to be called “lavender fields” but I’ll reserve that for when this is reincarnated
This is my third design! I was pretty discouraged from doing something out on my own, and I had this red yarn in my stash for a specific project in mind. That was a lopapeysa sweater, and I had a pattern just for that. I was going stick to the pattern and everything was going go perfectly. Except it didn’t. The yarn was too variegated for multicolor stranded work and I slowly realized that as I knit bottom up. So midway through I just decided to riff. I threw away the pattern and went forward with designing the shape and faire isle motif by my self. I crafted the collar (my favorite of all three) by myself. I call this “Red Herring” because I started going down one line of inquiry and it ended up being completely outside of that realm. I also cheekily made sure every motif was a chevron or herringbone related pattern. 🙃 gosh there’s so much to this sweater I love it.
Y’all I am so proud of that sweater you don’t even know. So proud that I want to grade it and release it as a pattern. But what I really want to say here is
I would have never have gotten to that sweater if it wasn’t for the first two.
things aren’t going work out perfectly
But that’s okay. What I love about knitting is that every stitch is a learning experience. You learn something new about your craft with every project and that informs your next one. So please don’t be discouraged. Don’t feel like you’re a failure when things don’t work out the way you planned, be that your first granny square, scarf or any other attempts you make in life. Mistakes will be made but you can love yourself and your work at every step of the way. The fact that you could have done better doesn’t have to be destructive. You can let that push you forward into the next thing and you will do better.
You can keep growing and growing but remember when you look back at that first thing. You did that with all the same intention, work, and passion that you have now.
You just got better.
Made these Broken Seed Stitch socks to finally use up some scraps and have some thicker ankle socks to wear with my docs!
These are adorable
We've all run out of yarn in the middle of a project. This is my favourite method of joining yarn & continuing knitting.
knitblr, please share my pain
i want to use the wonderful, adorable, FREE latvian blooms cowl pattern to make a pillow cover. i plan to make it in fresh blues and greens with maybe a little chocolate brown thrown in. but for some reason the (wonderful, generous) designer chose to make it in freaking chartreuse and fuschia.
and colored the chart accordingly.
my eyes are watering and i haven’t even started yet. hold me.
Boredom + flu is a hell of a drug @jumpingjacktrash
