[ladytemeraire]

Oh snap, lemme go through my Rav queue and faves and see what I can find for you. (No sweaters might be tricky but I’ll do my best!)

[ladytemeraire]

*cracks knuckles* ALRIGHT LET’S DO THIS. One list of fiddly stuff, coming right up. All of these are pulled from my faves and link to Ravelry. Tagging @sunreon just in case this doesn’t show up in your replies for some reason.

SHAWLS

Castiel - half-circle, lace, cables

Dickens Victorian Christmas - half-circle, HUGE, lace

Mystic Supernova - full circle, HUGE, lace (I have a ton of full circle shawls/doilies in my faves, HMU if you want more recs)

irtfa’a - half-circle, faroese lace

Rowena - half-circle, cables, lace

Gardens of Giverny - crescent, short rows and lace

Maris Stellis - half-circle, lace, beads. The designer has a whole whack of shawl patterns, go check them all out.

Scivias - half-circle, colorwork

The Swan Princess - half-circle, lace, HUGE, beads. This one technically has a crochet edging but you may be able to get away without it.

Fionan Fey - half-circle, brioche colorwork, lace, definitely not for the faint of heart

Twinity - crescent, lace, inspired by a Niebling doily so it’s a ride. This designer also has a lot of shawl patterns.

Lindisfarne - rectangular wrap, two-color cables and stripe colorwork, Celtic knotwork. I am an enormous fan of everything Lucy Hague does with cables.

Fox Paws - rectangular wrap, could be a scarf, SUPER trippy stripe motif with stacked stitches

Peony/Pfingstrose - half-circle, another Niebling inspired one. More from the designer.

Bonnie’s Wish - half-circle, cables, more Celtic motifs

Biellese - half-circle more slipped-stitch stripey colorwork

SOCKS

Elina - Colorwork, two-color cables

Heiroglyphic socks - stranded colorwork

Study in Slip - colorwork (mostly stripes) and a whole whack of slipped stitches)

See You Later - elongated/slipped stitches. I’m making them right now and the stitch pattern is a trip.

Expecto Draconum - stranded colorwork and teeny cables, also CHECK OUT THAT RAINBOW AND BLACK VERSION HOT DAMN

Gothic Arches - Twisted stitches/cables, beads

Butterblumchen - small cables and twisted/elongated stitches in a floral pattern.

Gansey One - lots of gansey-like texture patterns.

Finn-ish socks - Rovaniemi-style colorwork

Coffee Cantata - approximately one million fiddly little cables and twisted stitches

Echoes from Karelia - ALL THE COLORWORK and also some cables

Valkyries - Stranded colorwork

Twisty Passages - More colorwork, this time with Roositud inlay

Grun ist die Hoffnung - the fiddly part is in the construction.

A Beautiful Necessity - Tiny little cables with embroidery

MITTS AND GLOVES

Toketee - tiny little twisted-stitch cables and ribbing

Rosy Mittens - some pretty non-geometric stranded colorwork

Entangled Stitches - gloves with twisted stitches. Also check out the designer’s other work.

Translated - fingerless gloves with tiny twisted stitches and a textured palm

Gansey Wristers - fingerless, some lovely textural goodness

Pieces of Eight - fingerless, trippy construction (don’t let the garter stitch fool you). The designer has a ton of variants on this pattern.

Fightin’ Words - fingerless, stranded colorwork, something a little more lighthearted

OTHER

Here We Gnome Again - delightfully fiddly little gnome pattern

Celtic Dragon Scarf - doubleknit colorwork with dragons and Celtic motifs

Actually while I’m at it check out literally everything in Tania Richter’s Ravelry Store, her doubleknit designs are to die for

Weighted Companion Cube - because everybody needs one

Dragon Curve Fractal Scarf - doubleknit and fractals, yes please

Constellate - beanie hat with a pretty stitch pattern

A PokeHat - stranded colorwork beanie

Double Mustard - Reversible cabled scarf, with two different cable patterns

Brain Frieze - Cowl, slipped and mosaic stitches for an insanely detailed colorwork pattern.

Aurora Borealis - scarf, more stacked stitches in the vein of Fox Paws. This designer is also incredibly prolific, holy cats.

Yavie - doubleknit lace scarf

EXTERMIKNIT! - a Dalek to accompany your companion cube. I’ve made this as well, though I subbed pony beads for the bobbles because screw bobbles.

Ilkeley Moor - Beret/tam with tiny twisted-stitch cables.

Eomer shield tam - cables, HOPE YOU LIKE COLORWORK

The Knitting Octopus - for when your project needs to be a bit meta.

Okay cutting myself off because this is getting out of hand. Hopefully this gives you something to start with!

i want to get better at my rarely uses crafts

[caseyscraftycorner]

i want to knit more stuffies -- especially some Gnomes from a book my mother got me

[paladinkit]

spinning for sweaters! I've done one sweater quantity before, but that was for commission - I want to spin up at least two of the five sweater-size custom-picked bundles of fiber currently in my stash 😳

[caffieneadhdandme]

It begins!

First repeat of the border lace of my Evenstar, with beads. Took about one and a half hours, so apparently I need to watch 54 mst3k episodes to finish this sucker.

I started it in 2022 after seeing @roboticchibitan 's lace rot posts. Thanks to them for inspiring me to knit it! It's been the single most challenging thing I've knit, and it's been on the needles for 3 years now!

[roboticchibitan]

Ohhhhh lace rot lace roooottt now that I'm less brain fogged I gotta get back into lace knitting tbh

This looks GREAT!! love the color you chose. Was legit thinking about that 7 stitch increase in a 3 stitch decrease evenstar stitch the other day actually. Funny coincidence.

[lottiedoesthings]

Free will is for making a fish bag

[yarnhoard]

finished the body of the sweater! onto the sleeves and then the button band.

[yarnhoard]

have I shown off this cardigan wip yet?

and look at the buttons I got for it...

[yarnhoard]

hello. do you like the way I approach patterns and note taking

[frownyalfred]

I love how all of the Batman villains are like “ah he’s not at the manor, it’s defenseless! and then alfred just racks an AK-47 and is like pull up bitch

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Batman’s Villains: The butler will be easy prey!

He’s just an old man…he doesn’t have any of the Batman’s gadgets or training or fighting skills!

Alfred: Oh my you’re right

There’s something else of Master Bruce’s I don’t have as well

(Cocks a shotgun) A CODE AGAINST KILLING

[welshronin]

Batman’s Villains: Wayne isn’t here to save you old man!

Alfred:

[dragonpuppies]

Alfred is the original “Call an ambulance — but not for me”

[frownyalfred]

@dragonpuppies I spent way too long on this

[qwertyu858]

[trader-j0e]

[a-boy-too-weird]

Bruce: I have a code.

Alfred: And I have a gun.

[dadzawa-adopt-dabi]

Bruce: time to remove the guns.

Alfred: good fucking luck.

[frankenmouse]

I’ve peer reviewed @ebonyheartnet’s addition and found that it deserves a reblog.

[snugglesquiggle]

was measuring out some sugar and i scooped out one spoonful and fucking said "two." i didn't know you could even lose count that fast

[bealittleimprobable]

Do you knit or crochet? I think you would fit in well.

Reminder to myself, and for anyone who might need a reminder as well:

Joy is not a limited resource. I am allowed to enjoy life. Forcing myself to be miserable (with no farther goal) will not be helpful to others. My joy does not negate my own suffering, nor others' suffering. What am I fighting for if not more of that joy for everyone? Must I disqualify myself from that 'everyone' in order to achieve that goal?
