Baby vest for #showmeyourknits
Xanadu Tank Top pattern by @kiddiwinksknits.bsky.social
Lovely fun knit and great pattern for me as an advanced beginner- first time baby vest, first slip stitch.
Such great textures in both yarn & fabric for my great nephew to explore.

Finished! Yes I CAN learn new skills while mental health is in the dunny.
A small project that anchored me in a routine.

A knitted hat in a speckled dark rust color with a light speckled yarn for the details. It has a 2x2 colored rib band, then a latvian braid, then in the body of the hat are knitted oak leaves and acorns. The hat is laying on a bed of oak leaves.

I may need charts for pattern instructions but still need the squiggles. Let’s add dyscalculia to the mix. 🤣🤣🤣

New knitting skills growing! Learning is uncomfortable. Remember that when ripping back for the 4th time - give yourself compassion. You may say ‘I can’t do this’, but PLEASE remember to add ‘…yet’ at the end.

Been busy #knitting and hiding from the heat. This is the Kelo Hat (pattern) from Enikö Balogh (available on Ravelry). I made mine in baby alpaca and it’s oh-so-soft!

How many “negative”posts in a row equals a doomscroll?
