Love what I'm learning - contiguous with set-in sleeves, and helical knitting. 3 yarn balls at once. Why didn't I learn helical before now?? Valine Pullover by Mary Annarella. Julie Asselin Fino color Horacio

My current WIP is now taking shape, having joined in the round. Pacific Crest Trail Tee by Kay Hopkins in EFA Wishglow Sport. I think it is an ingenious way to knit the edges and cables that define this tee #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

My first foray with EFA Wishglow Sport, color Fetish. Pattern is Pacific Crest Trail Tee by Kay Hopkins. I'm loving the coloring, just variegated slightly, and deep rich garnet/purple. While it is a sport weight, it feels like a fingering weight. So soft 💕 #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

I'm very happy with how this sleeveless quick knit is looking! I've been doing waist shaping decreases & now increases. Nearly done, a couple more inches to go. #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

Started another project, this one a Sabai sleeveless summer top. Using Drops Belle black, so cotton/linen/viscose. It's a quick knit so far, all stockinette. A breather from the moss stitch sweater WIP. #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

This sweater is really coming along, I love the texture of Moss Stitch mixed with this wool. I finished the back today, hope to get front done tomorrow. I learned JSR, Japanese Short Rows, pretty nice results. Knitting from the bottom up has been new as well. #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

New on the needles, moss stitch sweater, The Finest Kind, @aliciaplum.bsky.social Alicia Plummer, using Harrisville Designs Highland, Cobalt. Such a different feel from the fine fingering silk 🤪. It's bottom up construction and you can see I'm already into the body.

Finished my Cumulus in Knitting For Olive Pure Silk. Mostly happy with it despite challenges with picking up sts on the neck. Doubt I'll use this yarn again, it took so long to complete. It is soft after blocking and very light weight, good for these hot days of summer.

So after finding out I was very short of the required # of sts to pick up, I pulled it out and watched a video that explained what I was missing, due to the type of increases on pattern. All this thru CC in English 🤪. Started again

Picking up stitches can be both easy and daunting, for me anyway. V-neck adds another layer of uncertainty. I guess I just have to go with the flow and have faith the i-cord will flow nicely

Oh so decadent! I splurged yesterday and bought Raspberry Dark Chocolate Frangos. I don't think I'd ever had this flavor, but those 2 are my absolute favorite 2 flavors and these didn't disappoint. I also got Garrett's popcorn, another favorite 🍿🥰 #frango #garrettpopcorn #chicagofavorites
