Current wip(s):
Siskuni Mun by Minna Metsänen (knitting)
Taking a small break from knitting my giant cardigan and finished this cutie. I used #10 thread and a 1mm crochet hook.
I feel, this is me starting to slide into a new rabbit hole...

I finished the back, yay! In hindsight, I wish I had chosen a different colour order, but hey ho, I still like it.
Also, I really enjoy the process. So relaxing and rewarding when the pattern comes to life.
Onto the side panels now...

Just a small bunch of flowers to brighten up my desk.

Pattern is "Sunflowers in a Mug" by Elena Dorogina

Since I cast off some stitches for the armholes, progress is fairly quick and I have the end in sight (for the backpiece that is)
For a change, I thought I'd show you the back of the work because I find it quite fun seeing the negative of the pattern.

My current long-term wip. Progress would probably be a lot faster if I didn't ooh and aah every other row 😄
Only 10cm more and I can cast off for the underarms.

For this week's #showmeyourknits I had to go back to 2012. It's was only the 2nd cardigan I ever knit. It didn't me very well and so I hardly ever wore it. I decided to frog it in 2024. Maybe I'll re-knit it, but probably I won't.

I started this in January, hoping for a spring top, but the body came out too large for me. So I ripped it back and re-knit. I finished it last week and can't wait to wear it in autumn.

Making progress, although very slowly. I still have tension issues, but for now, I have decided not to care about that too much.

And I'm in... row 7 of the back completed.
Purling with the right hand is still a bit of an issue, but since this is at the bottom at back, I'm sure I'll have developed some muscle memory by the time I get to the front panels.

My latest pair, incorporating two of my favourite things: tea ☕️ and socks 🧦
I've used the tea cup motif from the Doodle Knit Directory by @pacificknitco.bsky.social

Swatching done and gauge determined. Now, onto the colour selection.
I'm pretty happy with my colour choices. Dark blue for the background and pastel stripes for the design.

It's going to be a challenge for me, but that's ok.

This cheeky fella took a while to crochet, but he was totally worth it.
