Made my final trip to Joann's yesterday to buy whatever quilting supplies I could find. I got a rotary cutter, rulers, and a cutting mat for cheap. But it's sad and I feel for the people working who are losing their jobs and still busting their asses while people go nuts buying up everything.

There's a reason why people tell you to weave your ends as you go 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok I'm learning terminology now: hand PIECING is when you hand sew all the quilt top pieces together. Hand QUILTING is when you make a sammy of backing, batting, and quilt top and join them all together by hand sewing. I want to do both.

Say what you will about seed stitch, I kind of love it. I love the texture and I don't mind the purling. Can't wait to start the next step of this pattern, which is welts.

Started the Pengweeno cardigan by Stephen West for a friend's baby. I pulled out a bunch of scraps and I'm actually really excited to see how it will turn out! I have a pretty tight deadline of 2.5 weeks 😬 so I'm hoping I can make it in time if I commit really hard to it.

Have been so sick that I haven't touched a knitting needle since Saturday. Finally feeling more myself today. I've stash busted quite a bit and I'm thinking I can reward myself with some yarn, specifically some of this in black:

Here's a bunch of knitting hot takes I enjoyed watching. Don't agree with all but I love when people are super honest and don't surgercoat what they think WITHOUT being mean or catty.

Thinking about knitting a cropped version of this with some of the merino I picked up from Joann's. I love that it has side ties with tassels!

😑 the new cat peed in the room where I keep my yarn. Usually I keep all my yarn in closed plastic bins but I had left 2 cakes out. Now they smell like cat pee. Very unhappy. My plan is to reskein them and wash in diluted vinegar. If anyone has tips though it's appreciated.

Hello, please validate me, I was responsible and started my second sock like I was going to instead of running headfirst into the gusset of my first sock. No second sock syndrome for this guy.

I know this was written a while ago but thank you @kateatherley.bsky.social for this excellent toe up gusset/heel flap recipe. I'm changing around a sock pattern a bit and I plan on doing this!

Wednesday lunchtime knits! I'm talking about how this sock is boring and also my trip to Joann's.

I didn't say this in the vid but I might have to go back today to get an ottlite floor lamp that was on clearance AND 40% off.
