The Pepto Bismol and Cheetos Westknits Mystery MusiKAL is off the needles. Notwithstanding questionable color choices, I really enjoyed the design. Now to weave in the eleventy hundred ends. #mkal #knitting

Took a break from finishing my MKAL to finish these gift socks. In Always Be Kind Yarn, Inclusive Pride colorway. A quick soak then they’ll be off to the recipient! #knitting #yarn #knittedsocks

I really liked my color choices in the skeins and was pleased after Clue 1. With Clue 2 now done I’m a little less sure. I always view the MKAL as a process knit so no big deal one way or the other. The blue looks different in each section but is the same. #westknitsmkal

After many fits and starts, due mainly to not having brought right equipment on the road, we finally have Clue 1 done. Fingers crossed 2 is less fiddly.

The Fall/Winter ‘25 crafting queue Cakepalooza is complete.

This represents 12 projects. The question isn’t how many I’ll finish before 2026 but which to cast-on first and how many to start at once?!

To see the projects, check out the latest YouTube episode.

If you love weaving in ends (looking at you @waldinky.bsky.social I highly recommend some scrappy socks. One down one to go. Perfect project for Wimbledon Mens Finals.

Made it halfway through my “I Can See You From Space” Brioche Adventure for Pride Month and #pridepodmal2025. Love the project and yarn but not sure I did a good job with color sequencing. Everything is learning.

Finished all the minis I brought on vacation with me so my #pridepodmal25 project is on hold until I’m back home. Luckily I brought more WIPS. I think I’m about 1/3 through. It is a perfect travel project.

Almost there.

How do y’all adjust for tendency of SW Merino to grow when blocking. Just knit smaller size? Toss in the dryer after? I tried to aggressively block smaller but still .5” bigger than pre-soak.
