It’s finally time to build this 😍😍💀😍😍

Y’all I’m so excited for this!!! I have been waiting so long! 😍

Forgot to post, but I finished my first socks about a month ago!! I’m literally in love with them and so excited that they are done! I’ve moved on to a mosaic knitting project and am already missing the mindlessness of the socks. 🧶🧦

Update on the 9” circulars, I am slowly getting more used to them. Still fussing with how I hold my hands trying to stop the cramping. The workflow however is 😍. I love that I can just go round and round without having to readjust my needles every 30ish stitches like I do on magic loop. 🧶

Finished my test swatch for the @sweetpaprikadesigns.com skill builder box that I just got! I’m pretty sure my gauge is going to be off so now I’m debating if I have enough yarn to do another swatch. 🧶

Y’all, it’s been a long journey, but I finally have a whole sock!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m literally so happy! It has some flaws but I’m in love. 🧵🧶

Finally got back to this in the last couple of weeks! Foot is done and now to start the toe decreases! Almost done 🎉 🧵🧶

Overdue update:

Just started (and now finished) the heel flap and turning the heel (which tbh was kinda magical)! Now onto the gusset! 🧵🧶

Starting this one today and I’m very excited! 💙📚

Sunday morning read! 💙📚

Update on progress! Almost ready to start the heel! Just another half inch or so. 🧵🧶

Also say hello to my new knitting bud Cleo! She’s only been here for a couple of weeks but I’m already pretty fucking attached.

Sunday Morning Chai Latte and some knitting. Needing to make some progress on these socks!

Hello Dolly is nostalgic from my childhood! I love watching it! Funny, musical, and a cozy watch imho.

Update on the sock! Things have been slow lately as I haven’t been in a wildly “knitty” mood. Feeling a tad discouraged by A) how long the sock is taking which is absolutely due to me picking to use fingerling weight and B) being very conscious as I try to fix my tension which is a bit frustrating 🧶

Very excited to build this while listening to an audiobook! It’s so pretty! 😍

Ribbing is complete! Now to size up needles and start on the leg! 🧵🧶
January 1, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Turning this into “My first sock: a thread”!

Here’s my progress this morning, almost done with the ribbing and happy with how it looks so far! This yarn is so pretty!

Got my first sock cast on! These needles are tiny 😂🧶

Final update: It’s blocked! Blocking evened some things out which I am glad for. I am VERY surprised how much this grew after being blocked. I haven’t knitted many things but this is the first thing that has noticeably grown for me after blocking. 🧶

Next up to read is this one! I’ve had a couple of recommendations for it and I’m excited to read it! 💙📚

3rd update: It is complete! It fits like it should! Made a handful of mistakes, but I’m trying to take this as a learning experience and remember that this is only my 5th knitted item ever. I have another one of these to make, might try a different bind off on the next one. 🧶
December 16, 2024 at 12:07 AM
In other completely unrelated news right after posting this I found out that I dropped a stitch while binding off this cowl (ends already weaved in) 😩🧶
