New knit finished! 🧶
Got the idea of this hood inside my head and obsessively knit on it for a few days.
Used up some stash yarn that I had no use for :)
Didn't use a pattern, but I made a little guide in the notes on the project page if anyone wants to make one: www.ravelry.com/projects/suc...

Spent a few hours in the ER waiting room yesterday (accompanying a friend). My phone battery was almost dead so I made so much progress on my knitting project (valerie blouse by PK) 🧶 a surprisingly productive way of spending time

Why are some people acting as if charlie kirk getting shot is the most horrifying and gruesome video they've seen? A genocide has been livestreamed for the past two years. Those are the videos I find horrifying.

Told myself I'll use up my stash this year. Which I somewhat did! But I've also bought more yarn this year than ever before and ended up with a bigger stash than at the beginning of the year🥲

Went swimming and I think the sea was more jellyfish than water. They're harmless and kinda cute but they still startle me with every touch 😮💨

Bought 1,4kg of secondhand yarn. Checked some of the skeins when I picked it up and they seemed fine. Came home and noticed some of it was eaten and there are eggs in a few of the skeins 😭😭😭😭
The man who was selling his grandma's old stash was very understanding though, said he can give me a refund

Finally finished my framework bralette by jessie maed designs 🧶
I knit it in less then a week and then was too lazy to finish the straps for a few months. Made using thrifted cotton I got for 1€ 😊😊

Finished knitting my tolsta tank (vest, DK) !! 🧶
It was my first time knitting with slub yarn and I love how fun the texture is :)
I'm sad about how badly my phone takes pictures of this yarn though 👎👎

My country would never have this much of a backbone 🎉 let's fund more wars and kill more innocent civilians for no reason.
Is Spain's PM the only European leader who has NOT lost his marbles? Is it possible that the rest committed such a crime against their own governments' finances as to commit to a ludicrous military budget of 5% of GDP? Pure bonkers! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Spanish PM rejects Nato’s ‘unreasonable’ 5% GDP target for defence spending – as it happened
Pedro Sánchez reportedly says move would be ‘counterproductive’ and harm Spanish economy

Finally wearing a crochet hexagon shirt two years after it was trendy 🧶
This project taught me that neverending granny stripes may be worse than neverending stockinette!

Really hope this brace thing helps a bit because it was 40€ and I hate spending money 😗

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY SHE IS 🧶
Told myself I wouldn't be buying new yarn but I saw it on a resale site and couldn't resist because I wouldn't get to buy it anywhere else 😔 can't even use it yet because my hands still hurt too much to knit but I can at least enjoy looking at it!

I need to start taking breaks and doing exercises when knitting. Now it's going to take me even longer to finish anything because my forearm and wrist hurt too much to knit 🧶 oopsie

I finally understand the Petite Knit hype. I finally knit my first PK pattern and it was so simple and detailed. No thinking required. 🧶
I used secondhand yarn once again. It's a 65% wool and 35% silk blend. Cost 22,5€ for the whole sweater. Used thrifted buttons as well.
