my current project: i started a pair of socks today!

the pattern: nordic socks by morgan kornitz on eagerly (free!)

yarn: party of five mini skein set from sweetgeorgia

listening to/watching: doctor who + choir rehearsal I didn’t go to in person since I wasn’t feeling well

ive been trying to improve my colorwork and socks seem waaay less intimidating than a whole sweater. and aren’t these socks adorable? they’re from animal crossing ♡

starting this year I want to start using my blog as an actual blog for my fiber works (crocheting and knitting) alongside my fiber journal!

So hello, I finished a project already for 2023! Found this amazing pattern called Papa Spooky Cowl that perfectly fits my dream aesthetic (folky punky grandparent) and started knitting it on dec 18. It still needs to be blocked but I consider it finished on jan 2 anyway.

[ID: two images of a grey and burnt orange knitted skull-patterned cowl. the bottom ribbing, top ribbing, as well as the skulls and motifs of the body of the cowl are the burnt orange color. In the first image, the cowl is still on the needles and is laid flat on a white, blue, black, green and red background. In the second image, a person is wearing the cowl around their neck covering their nose and mouth.]

this was my first foray into stranded colorwork and i think im still battling tension issues with the alt color floats. if you knit you might be able to see the puckering in some of the longer stretches of one color which was a little bit improved by me switching to a yarn guide (rather than picking up and letting go of each yarn every time I had to switch). i have my eyes on another cowl pattern on insta but i want to keep practicing colorwork before I dive into that one.

yarn: Wool and the Gang’s The One Merino in colors Terracotta Blush & Moondust Grey

needle: Size 4.5mm (7) and 5.0mm (8) on 21” circulars

also if anyone is reading this, i can send a link to the pattern if anyone wants it! it was a really well written, free download pdf

this was a lot of fun and makes me really excited to try out more colorwork. im thinking about looking for a chunky yarn sweater vest … or maybe i should be finishing the cotton candy tunisian crochet sweater i started last March 😅

CHeck out the tiktok here!

woah! work travel, you know what that means? it means on Sat. I started a simpler project than 5 color colorwork socks so I could have a plane project.

after arriving, I’m here, which means I just have to pick up the stitches around the thumb and I’ll have a new mitten! I wanted an easy quick project, and mittens will be very useful. I’m in a caroling group and outdoor gigs are cold where I’m at lol

Plus I’m a local yarn store supporter and I got to check out the place closest to my new apartment since I moved last month. I’ll show off the final project but yay, most of a mitten! maybe I’ll be done at the end of the week when I come back home!

[ID: brown knit panel with cream white ribbing held up in front of person with dark hair]

I started this about a month ago now. i told myself i’d take a picture every time I finished a ball of yarn for this project. not only have I not been doing that but also it would not look like much - this cardigan has taken almost exactly one ball of yarn for each front panel so far. back piece will probably be 2-2.5

i have been really enjoying making this cardigan and I can’t wait to wear it. i think I’ll have leftover yarn and I’m considering making a tank top to match for a cute lil matching set :3
