New knit finished! 🧶

Got the idea of this hood inside my head and obsessively knit on it for a few days.

Used up some stash yarn that I had no use for :)

Didn't use a pattern, but I made a little guide in the notes on the project page if anyone wants to make one: www.ravelry.com/projects/suc...

Spent a few hours in the ER waiting room yesterday (accompanying a friend). My phone battery was almost dead so I made so much progress on my knitting project (valerie blouse by PK) 🧶 a surprisingly productive way of spending time

Finally posting a new finished knit! 🧶

It's the Futura Sweater by Rui Yamamuro.
Knit with Drops Fabel held together with Hobbii Diablo.

10/10 would knit again.

Why haven't I been knitting socks?? Such a perfect project to take on a train (or anywhere) with you🧶

This yarn is too lovely for me to throw it away 😞😞 into the freezer it goes and I'll see if I'll ask for a refund once I rewind it and see how much damage there is. The other yarn was the one with eggs and I'll probably ask for a refund for that😓

Finally finished my framework bralette by jessie maed designs 🧶
I knit it in less then a week and then was too lazy to finish the straps for a few months. Made using thrifted cotton I got for 1€ 😊😊

Finished knitting my tolsta tank (vest, DK) !! 🧶

It was my first time knitting with slub yarn and I love how fun the texture is :)

I'm sad about how badly my phone takes pictures of this yarn though 👎👎

Decided to knit a tolsta tank (DK, vest version) with it :)) 🧶 I'm loving the colour and texture!

Finished knitting the Kylie Pullover by Irene Lin 🧶

Knit using thrifted cotton yarn that cost me 2,5€ in total

I'm also out of the knitting hand pain jail after almost two months of no knitting 🎉

Finally wearing a crochet hexagon shirt two years after it was trendy 🧶

This project taught me that neverending granny stripes may be worse than neverending stockinette!

And the knitting pain continues! 🧶🥲 Haven't touched knitting needles in a while but I can't rest my hands bc i either type assignments for uni or use my hands at my housekeeping job daily...

Really hope this brace thing helps a bit because it was 40€ and I hate spending money 😗

I just can't stop looking at it. It's such a vivid red and the unevenness makes such a fun texture.

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY SHE IS 🧶

Told myself I wouldn't be buying new yarn but I saw it on a resale site and couldn't resist because I wouldn't get to buy it anywhere else 😔 can't even use it yet because my hands still hurt too much to knit but I can at least enjoy looking at it!

I finally understand the Petite Knit hype. I finally knit my first PK pattern and it was so simple and detailed. No thinking required. 🧶

I used secondhand yarn once again. It's a 65% wool and 35% silk blend. Cost 22,5€ for the whole sweater. Used thrifted buttons as well.

Knitting progress 🧶

Started knitting the Kylie Pullover by Irene Lin and it's been very enjoyable so far 🧶

The pattern is fun enough to keep me entertained but also repetitive enough that you don't have to constantly look at the pattern.

I reallly hope I have enough yarn since I got it secondhand 😟

Finally getting to wear the Hobbiton vest !!

The buttonband is all wonky but it still has to be one of my favourite things I've knit 🧶
March 16, 2025 at 12:09 PM
I'm also finally done knitting the Hobbiton vest by Fabel Knitwear! 🧶

It was my first time steeking and I'm so proud of how it turned out :)

I'm excited that I'll finally get to wear it and still catch a bit of the colder days.

A quick knit just to get this thick acrylic yarn out of my stash 🧶

Made following a tutorial by tattingblossom on YT: youtu.be/g_X7MNIVN0g?...
A very hand holdy tutorial which is a bit annoying, but she's a great resource for beginners because of it!

Temporarily hung with a needle oops.

Blocking your knits in a tiny dorm is such a chore. Especially when I'm trying not to bother my roommate with taking up floor space.

Drying my newest knit sweater on my desk while I'm gone for the weekend 🧶

My aunt gifted me a distaff, spindle and some of their sheeps wool when she heard I want to learn how to handspin yarn! 🧶
I'm about to spin up the most uneven hank of yarn to ever exist. Who knows if it'll even be usable enough to knit with... I'm enjoying it nonetheless :)

For some reason I am incapable of knitting a normal 10x10 swatch 🧶
February 8, 2025 at 9:29 AM
My first finished garment of 2025!🧶

Pattern: Marilyn Turtleneck by Fabel Knitwear
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Pearl Ten

This was my stress relief project during my exams, so I just ended up keeping any mistakes in. I was not about to stress about knitting as well.
(I'll redo the body hem anyway tho)

Finally realised an eye was missing 😓
