Ok, I'm back with breaking knit news 🧶: the Encinitas top is finished!
I love the fit, and I'm pleased with the sleeve silhouette, which I wasn't originally sure about.
Pay no attention to the ends that I still have to weave in. 🤫

She only *looks* like she's sleeping. As soon as I move the charging cord or some yarn, she is in hunter mode.

Wooo! Officially split for sleeves. Maintaining this pattern across the sleeves may prove tricky, but this has been such a fun knit so far. 🧶

I'm procrastinating working on a cardigan sleeve. So instead, let's cast on some socks! 😅

Another progress shot before I take a break. I need to be better about stretch breaks, my arms are complaining. So if you're reading this, put the yarn down and stretch for a minute! 🧶

WIP Wednesday! Still working on that Encinitas Top. This is really enjoyable to knit. A very "TV knit" kind of pattern so far. 🧶

My very first handspun yarn project! 🧶
There will be more colors to come, but right now all we're getting is blue. I haven't been satisfied enough with previous spins to make anything with the yarn, so this is exciting for me.

Not an ad, but I genuinely don't know how I would keep track of stuff without a knitting app. if I had to remember the row I'm on, and to do a decrease every 16 rows, a total of 14 times, I would lose it. This one (Knit Companion) tells me when it's time to do a decrease, once I've set it up. 🧶

My first time doing a jacquard stitch. Not too tricky if you've done color work before. Just gotta leave enough slack in the yarn to keep it from pulling too tight. 🧶

This kid sweater is knitting up so fast. Just need to do the trim and sleeves.
So much quicker than making a me-sized sweater. 🧶 😂

Today's project is the beginning of the Robin Hoodie sweater by Lisa Chemery. The hood is at the top and I'm in the middle of the increases for the yoke. This yarn is so soft and squishy to work with!

Omg I actually plied my own yarn! 🧶 Only my 3rd ever attempt at spinning.
I borrowed a friend's e-spinnner and it has been so much more fun for me than a spindle.

Welp. I've fallen in love with a pattern. It may be above my skill, but I usually just brute force new things until I succeed. So this is the plan for that beautiful gradient kit I picked up last weekend.
