hi knitting tumblr. um i don't knit but my aunt recently passed and left behind a bunch of extremely high quality yarn. i know very little about yarn and even less about knitting, so i'd like to sell it. i'm looking into ravelry and local facebook groups, but i wanted to see if there's anybody local on here who is interested.

the yarn is currently in central ontario, in udora (20 mins from uxbridge). i will be holding a yard sale, but no date has been set yet, as we're still in the process of sorting.

i'm attaching some pics to give an idea of what i've got. this is only a fraction of it. i also have three spinning wheels and MANY books and magazines about various handcrafting stuff (crochet, knitting, basket weaving??). please let me know if you have any interest or know anyone who would be willing to purchase some! i'd also appreciate any more advice on sites, communities, etc. where i could offload some of it.

Shout out to the elderly gentleman in the hospital today who commented on my knitting (sock knitting has me in its clutches once again) and then, thinking he'd embarrassed me, proceeded to tell me about the old fishermen who'd make their own jumpers and how seeing a boy knit was brilliant.

10/10 I hope he has a wonderful day

Ooey gooey sock set by Andrea Mowry started May 11th and finished May 25th! 💜💚

First time doing colour work and it was so fun! And so relieved they fit perfectly! I did skip the welts as i feared those would be too tight but still happy with how they turned out

I forgot to post these finished Memento Mori Socks I knit a few months ago! I finally sewed in the ends and am ready to gift them to who they’re made for

I finished knitting my first pair of socks please clap

Made them with a mystery cashmere blend yarn I bought second-hand and some kid silk mohair I wanted to use up. They are surprisingly comfy and not itchy.

I made some Ringelsocken (striped socks in English, though the German word is much more fun to say) and tried out helical knitting

I have just learned about Roxanne Richardson's sock knitting videos and for maybe the first time in my life I understand the urge to just like sit next to someone and listen to them talk forever bc every single word they say is gold

I KNOW my socks don't fit exactly right but have never known WHY and oh my god. Well now I know why
