Working on my first socks, 2 at a time on magic loop. Was feeling mighty accomplushed until I noticed the terminal laddering on the sides 😑 🧶

I'm always so jealous of other knitters' relaxed Sunday morning knitting posts. I work on Sundays so can't ever knit in the morning 😫 but I'm having a lovely time on this Monday holiday morning 🇺🇲 😊

Nearly finished with my first stranded colorwork cowl and just learned that it matters which color yarn is held in which position 😵💫
No, I will not be frogging it. I'll block it, wear it proudly, and hold the yarn correctly going forward.

Insomnia knitting. Doodle Cowl by Pacific Knits. My first project with Malabrigo Rios and I am in love with it. But it's after midnight and I need to try to sleep.
If I can't, well, I'll be back.

I made the Fingering Yarn Cozy by Melina Frenken. It (with 2 more yet to be made) will keep my yarn cakes organized for an upcoming colorwork cowl project. It's also the way I decided to use the yarn sale sock yarn that wasn't enough for a pair. 🧶
It's basically a really small hat 😊

My only gray knit thus far. My Sophie scarf, coming in handy on a 38°F morning when I have to play a funeral. 🧶

Ok #knitsky, I need your advice. I have 100g of this amazing 75/25 merino nylon fingering sock yarn. My feet are too big for that to be enough for shortie socks 😖 so what about a Sophie scarf? Seems a bit stiff. Go up a needle size for drape? Or forget about it? Love this yarn & want to use it! 🧶

Gloomy, sleeting Monday, but the workout is done, dogs are walked, and my cozy breakfast porridge of leftover quinoa was delish. Using leftovers=win, and having them be yummy AND healthy AND warm on a nasty day is an even bigger win. #wfpb #dogsofbluesky

My WIP, which is a total practice project. Learning stranded knitting, corrugated ribbing, and yarn untangling 😂 🧶

Random acrylic stash yarn

I may make a real one after the practice one. Love the pattern!

I've reached the halfway point of the picot bind off on my pink poncho. I was hoping to wear it tomorrow for laetare Sunday. Will I finish it? Can fingering superwash merino dry overnight? Probably no and no but I keep knitting. 🧶

My one and only colorwork project thus far. Trombone floor cloth for my son, double-knit in his university colors. He loves it, and, he tells me, so do the other players in his big band 🎵🧶

It needs buttons and it's not blocked yet, but here is my second-ever sweater, the Hillside V-neck cardigan. Lion brand re-spun thick & quick yarn. Bulky, heavy, cozy and warm! 🧶

One sleeve done of my Hillside V-neck cardigan, and I've got another half-sleeve to go. Also a pink poncho with a nice feather and fan design on front and back.
