Yesterday I realized I purchased the wrong weight red yarn for my rainbow hex afghan and so can’t continue with my next section.
Oh no!
Guess I must cast on the next sweater!
Darn.
What misfortune.
(Cackle cackle sparkling with glee and unicorn dust happiness!!!!)
I'm knitting this little strawberry to go with my tomato pincushion hat:
I have been wanting to knit a little strawberry for ages!
The first line of the pattern is "Cast on 4 stitches and join for knitting in the round." I am wondering which CO to use. I'm thinking maybe Judy's Magic Cast On because it's kind of like a tiny toe-up sock?
Bea's knitting corner
My favourite kind of evening. Just casted my first sock of the pair on, while watching the first movie from the Lord of the rings trilogy. And to make the evening even cozier, my cat sleep's next to me on the couch.
I sometimes treat myself to something fun for my birthday. This year my car got some long overdue maintenance work, and I will be replacing tires next week. So this year, this yarn is my Fun gift to myself. (This, and a black t-shirt with the “Now I am become Death…” quote done in pink Barbie font.)
This is hand dyed 100% Merino wool yarn from a small batch dyer, and the minute I saw this colorway—inspired by, of course, BARBIE, and called “Ken-ergy”—it made me laugh.
I have two skeins, my plan is for another Framework Bralette, and it will be the brightest thing in my whole wardrobe. Eh-ver. This will be perfect to wear the time of year when it’s cold and sundown is at 4pm and I’m wearing all black everything…except this.
Just thought I’d share some bright on this cloudy rainy Monday here in the Desert.
That quote, BTW, is the inside of the label, and it’s true. As I’m knitting, each stitch ends up next to another color and they absolutely sing.
the actual fucking audacity I have when doing a long-tail cast on and its ability to come back and bite me in the ass
“oH i HaVe EnOuGh tAiL tHiS iS fInE” and then immediate smiting from the gods
and it’s always off by an inch so then there’s the super-over-compensated second attempt
casting on a sweater for the first time in... 9 years? 10?
