More ends to weave in to come... I think this is becoming my thing for 2025... 😩😩

Knitted with the leftovers of my Find Your Fade Shawl. The different color strands are knitted together with a white strand of Drops Baby Merino.

Jogless stripes in the round

I used to think that the jog at the beginning of a round is an unavoidable fact of life, but then (thanks to the internet) I started seeing different tricks to get jogless stripes when knitting in the round and carrying the yarn from one stripe to the next.

I tried a couple of different methods, before settling on the one shown in the video, which is the one I like best:

Knit to 1 st before end of round, make a yo with the new colour bringing it up from behind the working yarn. In the next round, knit the last stitch together with the yarn over.

How to knit jogless stripes in the round

i don't generally bother posting the stuff i knit exactly from existing patterns but i finally wove in the ends on a couple frankensteined socks and figured i might as well throw them up here? they're very dumb but i'm fond of them.

for the first pair i made up a colorwork pattern for the feanorian heraldic symbol, and slapped it together with the pisqu sock structure and toe pattern, and a snippet of a mitten for the sole halves. the yarn is 100g of jamieson's of shetland that i got on the high street of fort william, as a treat after walking 100 miles from glasgow to get there, and i had... maybe 10 yards total left over? i had to cut off the long tail from my cast-on and use it to graft the toe closed on the last sock; it was nerve-wracking. if i did this pattern again, i'd probably put the toe motif in between the two heraldic lozenges, but the first time through i wasn't sure how the math would work out so i frontloaded them. ah well!

the second pair is the structure of an existing sock i've forgotten the name of (worked in the round from the tip of the heel to a hat-like shape with six sides; two opposite ones are grafted together to form the instep and the other sets of two open into the cuff and close into the toe), with the colorwork pattern from the gogink sweater yoke. i thiiiink you could do this with basically any colorwork sweater yoke, but i've only tried it with this one. if i did it again i'd add some short rows to the front side of the cuff; the construction sort of pulls it down so that the heel side of the cuff is higher than the front, and a couple short row rounds would probably level it back out. i like these because they neatly smash the cuff-down/toe-up binary and make everybody mad, and i am at all times an imp of the perverse.

So happy with the cozyness of this one!!

At the My Swiss Mailles Festival last October I literally fell for 5 skeins of Silky Merino from Forever Taïga Yarns that were doing a beautiful fade. The Project to use them was obvious: the Find Your Fade Shawl from Andrea Mowry. And here it is.

Terrarium Life collection~

I painted these way back during the pandemic (hence the hoard of toilet paper and Switch that I wish I had, but they were all sold out) No pandemic now but the chimney smoke from all the neighbors have made the air unbreathable and I'm stuck inside again 😭 cuddling my dog, drinking tea
