Shoulder functionality is finally at the point that I can continue my giant ruffly cast off. (Continental, so my R arm isn't doing much!) 🧶

I got in a riding accident on Saturday. While at urgent care, I finally listened to podcast I was recommended with @malicedafirenze.bsky.social . This inspired me to try horse games for the first time in years, because I probably won't be riding for a while.

If you know of a fabric store on bsky that sells deadstock knits, lmk. My husband also requested a henley shirt and I don't have suitable fabric in my stash.

When your yarn (or fabric?) has extra dye that comes off on your hands as you work. More common with natural dyes, especially indigo.
Thankfully this indigo dye comes off with a hand wash or two. Usually it's not a problem in the FO because washing and vinegar helps.

I experimented with chain plying *while knitting* yesterday: basically a strategy to hold 3 strands at a time without the chaos of 3 balls. I think I like it! This fingering had too much color variation for my tastes. Held 3tog mutes it imo. It looks more like an oil slick now.

The barn's new owners picked up an untamed mustang and her foal yesterday. They're surprisingly brave and chill for barely being handled ever.

My first ride back after covid lined up with a rainy day. Everyone, including my lesson horse, had given themselves mud baths. Thanks. Thanks.

I settled on a Clapotis (my first) as my MIL's gift, coincidentally syncing up with its anniversary celebration

My horse girl and textile worlds collided when I discovered that saddle pads actually made a viable, CHEAPER alternative to a wool pressing mat. I was surprised that anything horsey could be the cheaper alternative, thank you state line tack www.statelinetack.com/item/mustang...

The 0A red lines are 1/8" marks (relative to center), and there's a groove in the foot for 1/4" (and a dot for turning). What else am I missing?

Serves me right for being too lazy to zigzag the edges before washing.
The one fat quarter I did finish had stayed completely out of this mess.

Building this baby quilt has piqued my interest in quilt-as-you go with scraps. Except I sew with knits more often than wovens. Could I back those scraps with firm interfacing and incorporate them?

Entrelac is fun to knit but I have yet to find it visually appealing.
I thought this Tumalo Fiber sport weight would work but meh. Continuing my search for the best pattern for my MIL.
