This blue and green yarn looks like it would be perfect for the Geode cowl, that I just discovered and would love to try when the right yarn comes along.. The stitches change along with the colours wherever they show up. There's a linked video that explains how.

It's a pain, for sure, but... more time to knit? (I knit a whole cardicoat while my broken foot bone was healing a few years ago.)

Happy knitting! 😄

Oh my! I love your taste in colour and design! This sweater was already on my Ravelry favourites list, but seeing it in this yarn and colour made me bump it up to the top of the list. I also got a gift certificate for my local yarn shop from my brother for Christmas, so... time to shop! 😃

Oh wow! What a work of art - 24 unique mandalas united by colour. Way beyond my current ability, but something to aspire to. It’s gorgeous! 🤩👏🏻

Thank you for understanding. ☺️
Actually, the decision to frog is a bit traumatic, but once decided, I don't mind it so much. I heard someone call frogging backwards knitting. Forwards or backwards, it's still knitting, and knitting is my happy place. Better to have a sweater that fits though.

Sigh... I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between "positive ease" and "your gauge loosened and you're knitting a tent." Have decided to frog this gorgeous sweater and try again a size smaller. Sometimes knitting is a process, rather than a product. #ShowMeYourKnits #frogged

Could they do both? Have free/by donation knitting social evenings, and classes (based on advice frequently asked for) that people pay for?

Absolutey stunning! Love the colours, and the pattern looks gorgeous! What an achievement. Will you show us a picture of the whole afghan when it's done? 🤩

Just checked them out. I listened to the Bluesky song and loved it! Thanks for the recommendation. It's late tonight, so will listen to more tomorrow. Happy place music indeed! 🎼😃

Autocratic (10)... not a happy word, unfortunately. Would have preferred 'democratic', but couldn't find an 'm'.

I got 'valued' (6) within the time limit, then the timer went off right when I had just started checking letters for 'eavestrough' (11) 🐢
