1st white is done. More otw. I need better white yarn, something sparkly. Yowza is delicious but edge bobbles get fuzzy from handling so much.
These take forever but worth it. Maybe DPN next one. This tiny circ w magic loop 🫠

A second knit snowflake in white in progress. Just picked up the sts for the front from the hold yarn. Both surfaces are the same then stuffed. Going much faster this time 😊 Looking crisp in white.

my first and it’s a bit wonky. Relearned Judy’s Magic CO for 156 sts in round on magic loop. Oof. Practiced around 800 til smooth motion but they want to not catch, slip off when adjust for full tips - counts wrong, twist. Last time it was around 10 for toe up sock. Dt in alt

After much headache my knit Dragon Scale blanket is done today! Off pins. Tails sewn. I need to give it a misting to re-round some scales. I blocked too hard, a lot got pointier than I like. I finished 1 quadrant in lower right, am too tired to do the others.

😜 glutton for punishment. Does need to be outward in = the way the scales behave, they actually overlap slightly. Trust me I tried endless times to get it worked out top down after I got them to look how I wanted. Months. If you swap it it looks/lays like artichoke leaves. See c/up pic of flip.

I use the Japanese dictionaries by Hitomi Shida the most. With your wrapped tbl ribs accents it will be right up your alley. Inter library loan or Tuttle publ has US v.s that go on sale for around 17.
I also grab vintage machine knit stuff from Pinterest, needs translation and mods to hand

A fun textured knit worked in the round with worsted weight yarn. Offset tiled triangles of k and p ridges, with stockinette triangles edge by 2 stitch cables that can be done w/o cable needles. Lovely simple texture that has a different effect viewed from different angles

I’ve made all the mistakes and figured out my best tension for these holes with the cheap rainbow striping single ply at the bottom. Now I’m on to the actual project in a gorgeous gradient of burgundy red to bright green.

Thank you so much for the great compliment. I do think it could be tweaked to work as a yoke and extended. But it is worked bottom up, so you’d need to do a prov CO and then work downwards in rev stockinette, or switch texture for body. Swagger version is more fitted to shoulder line, see below

A knit and purl thingy with a base of 5 by 5 ribbing with a four round offset then shift of placements that causes little curled bends and the ribbing to tilt to the right. This is a loop on circular needles arranged so you see both sides.

Again. More. Ditto of previous post.
Knit and purl iterations are all my brain can maintain of late... thank goodness simple stitching can also yield visually interesting results.
I just keep making these with different gauge and intervals.
It's fun that the inner side is pretty cool too
