Two weeks of knitting equals 30 new parallelograms added to my Hvammsvik Blanket (Stephen West). The first column did work great the first time so I changed out some colours and like this version way better.

Adventurous Wrap by Ambah. Started at the end of December 2024 as a holiday project I did with my mum when I stayed with her. She lnit here own one at the same time. We've been doing Christmas/New Year knitalongs for the last few years. Made using Dye Studio 54 minis from more than one collection.

The Not-A-Lap-Cat Po cat sitting on the back of my chair. She's so funny and cute, except when she comes inside from the pouring rain, at night, and jumps on the bed while you're trying to sleep. No, actually even then she's still so cute.

Finally managed to sew in the ends and block my Boxy by Joji Locatelli. I've made most of the other Boxy jumpers but this is my favourite. The camera and lighting doesn't do it justice...the pooling isn't nearly as obvious. Looking forward to wearing this. #knitting

My son came to visit. Po ran off, she's scared of everyone but us. Lala's scared of Po and would rather avoid other people, that's preferable to having to deal with Po. Dipsy could care less about what Lala and Po get up to, but will avoid other people if possible. Lala's staying in tonight. #cats

Dye Studio 54 colours from my visit on New Year's Day. About to start a wind-a-thon, a colour/gauge swatch, and then the jumper. Agnes by Brooklyn Tweed, I began in other yarn years ago and still want to make. #knitting

Dug up this gorgeous purple from my sock yarn scrap box. I'm making the Comfort Core B socks by Summer Lee. As short as possible.
German twisted cast on and a 2 x 1 twisted rib.
Yarn is a retired Vintage Purls sock yarn.

Started a new project today. A pdf that won't work with Pattern Keeper or Markup R-XP despite me trying every option in both to get it to work. The symbols appear in both apps as a mess with 2 symbols overlaid in 1 square. Tried working from a printout. Nope, not for me. #crossstitch

Slightly messy side seam with a good 10cm added after splitting for the arms, working front and back. Each side has 205 stitches. #knitting Stitch marker shows where I began.

Yesterday's #seasonalsunday was back to Labyrinthine Summer by Stephanie Law/HAED. I made a mistake in the middle section and have been working around the area to absorb it, hopefully it's all background and doesn't make much difference. #crossstitch

Next in my #knitgo line-up...five day of Dathan by Kate Davies Designs. Random colours are done in 1, 2, or 3 rows randomly generated. All yarn is by Mamawooling, leftover from other projects. Need to put the stitches back on the cable first and figure out where I am. 😳 #knitting

Restarted my #fabuloushouses today. Using 25ct evenweave instead of linen. I can see enough of a difference in my stitching that I'm happy I made that choice. #crossstitch
