Late to the party #showmeyourknits 🧶sock week
Tomorrow I will donate these socks at Wollträume Wien, a yarn festival in Vienna 🇦🇹, for #aktiongruenesocke women with abdominal cancer.

#CirceSummerSweater
This design was published in
spring issue 2024 of Making Stories magazine "Seashore", knit up in linen studio by Erika Knight yarns.
Inspired by Madeline Miller's Circe, this pattern allows you to adapt the garment to your body: top down with optional bust darts.
#showmeyourknits

#showmeyourknits (WIP and UFO week) I am commited to finish these until Wollträume Wien (yarn festival) in two weeks. There they are supposed to become a contribution to #aktiongrünesockeösterreich
for women with abdominal cancer: green handknit socks are collected.
These are green enough, right?

Yes please: warm neck without constantly pulling some shawl ends. This smart number stays where it is supposed to!

Designed for fading colors this works just fine for solid colors, too.

My chosen sister got these last Christmas 🎄 I used @skeindeer.bsky.social 's charts from her #festiveyokesweater, added a latvian braid after the ribbing and decreased the heel stitches on the sole around a heart.

I hope she wears these socks often ❤️

Vacation Project 4/4

is a secret
the idea did not work out with this yarn and needles

🧶 soon I will be stash diving to find a matching yarn for this knit design idea.
Or change the idea
Or change the needles

View towards #Pitztal in #Tyrol 🇦🇹
from 3440 meters above sea level

3440 Café is the highest one in Austria, set atop the summit in a spectacular way. Not as spectacular as the view: surrounded by 3000+ peaks of the alps! The skiing slopes and cable car are just a bonus here. Sat behind a glass fence in the sun, warm and snug, I am knitting on the Honey Waffle Socks

Winter days in snow and sun and quiet, pumping clear mountain air through my lungs.
Yes, there is a little project bag in my backpack - no doubt about that 😁✌🏻

On route to Tyrol
As always with my trusty project bag by @two22handmade and 1 of 4 projects I packed for 1 week of holidays in the alps.
The Shift worked with merino handdyed by @dasmondschaf.bsky.social 2019 - some consider this as old yarn and deep stash.
I say these are aged collector's items 😁👌🏻

Yaaay, I made yarn!

Welcome to my fiber journey, where I share knitting and spinning and botanic dying and whatever else textile related happens here.

These is Coburg fibers, that I got at @wolltraeumewien last year from @vollschaf. Turns out to be sport weight sturdy yarn
Now: socks or mittens?
