My Windswept sweater is at the stage where the body would be fine by now - if I didn't keep doing to check if it was long enough yet 🤣 I'm at that peculiar stage of sweater knitting where I measure and it says 13", then I knit solidly for 20 mins and remeasure - still 13" Surely this defies all natural laws? #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #everydayknitter #i_loveknitting #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #stashdash #nailsandknitting #jamberrynails #jamcure #freeupmyinsta

Yes of course. I always make copies notes on a pattern in knitting. That way when I leave it under the bed for 6 months I know exactly where to start from when I pick it up again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish! Someday, maybe I'll learn to do this. But for now I've just lost an hour of my life sorting it out, thinking I knew where I was, then ripping back to start again where I actually was. Sigh! Still, all fine now and I'm back on track. And as is the way with these things I remember why I set it aside. The 2nd skein of grey is quite different to the first - quite a bit lighter - hmmmm. #knittinginspiration #knittersofinstgram #tricot #knittersofig #igknitters #tricoter #knitlove #knitlife #breathingspace #sweaterknitting #projectsweaterchest #stripelove #stashdash #knitting_inspiration #best_knitters #i_loveknitting #knittersproblems #morningknittersunite #everydayknitter #knitblog

A few people asked about the rounded toe on my latest sock - specifically about the fit. This is the best photo I have to show it but it is really comfortable. A little roomier than a standard toe but so far no complaints at all. To work the toe was super simple too.

Today will mostly be spent going round in circles - both metaphorically and in my knitting. At home I'll be attempting to reign in the school holiday chaos by endlessly repeating myself and trying to declutter in the midst of the boys' whirlwind. In my knitting I'll be going round and round on a sleeve and a sock. Would be great if I could get both of them finished today. We are planning a cinema trip later today (Despicable Me 3 - horrors 🤤) so you never know. #knittersofinstgram #knittersofig #knitstagram #knitlove #knitlife #sleevesofdoom #sweaterknitting #stashdash #yarnlove #i_loveknitting #iloveknitting #operationsockdrawer #specklesaresohotrightnow #summerofspeckles #sockknittting #momentsofmine #indiedyed #indieyarn #summerknitting #aphotoaday #handknitsocks #handmadewardrobe

This is me - running triumphantly past the #fofriday finishing line, waving my Windswept sweater as I go. Another 1000m towards my #stashdash goals and still plenty of yarn left over - Rowan Felted Tweed is nothing if not economical. Now I just find to find a plain vest to wear underneath it. The lace section on the front is just a bit too open to wear with just a bra. #knittersofinstgram #igknitters #knittinginspiration #knitting #knittingaddict #sweaterknitting #yarnlove #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #knitlove #knitlife #knittingasalifestylechoice #i_loveknitting #best_knitters #iloveknitting #tricot #tricoter #stricken #strickenmachtglücklich #tincanknits

I'm not generally a fan of Rowan yarns but I'll make an exception for Rowan Felted Tweed - the colours, the texture and the lightweight nature of this yarn means that this is one of my favorites to knit with. In my increasingly futile attempts to reach my 10k #stashdash goal I have resorted to pulling out long forgotten WIPs. This one is Windswept by @tincanknits which I conservatively estimate to be at least a year old. I had done the yoke, separated the sleeves and then stalled. Then I forgot where I was in the lace panel. To my shame though it only took 10 mins to sort it out and I was back on track. #knitting_inspiration . . . . . #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #handmadewardrobe #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #makersgonnamake #slowfashion #yarnlovechallenge

Whichever way you look at it. The next 6" of this sweater are going to involve a lot of grey stocking stitch. Must not get distracted...

Good morning. It's time for the 4th and final installment in our #instasockkal. It's been really great to see all of your fabulous socks taking shape and I hope you've been enjoying the knitting. For this #bobsocks design I wanted to try out a simple rounded toe as an alternative to my usual and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Quick, easy to do and no need to Kitchener - sounds like a winner in my book. Anyway, have a go. I'd love to know what you think. To work the toe was super simple too.
