100%!! Ideal if the cowl’s ready to be worn when it’s time to touchdown! ❄️🙂‍↕️

Cowl coming together slowly…slower than the countdown to my flight. Pre-travel chaos reigning right now. This is starting to look like a project for the plane ✈️

Second beanie on the way, with a different self-patterning sock yarn this time. Some split opinions on the colourway—whether it looks more like Miffy the rabbit or Mondrian’s art 🎨 either way it’s super bright and cheery!

🚗 Commute through the Scottish Highlands in the dreary weather is perfect for getting those rows in. Behind all that fog are lovely snow-capped peaks 🏔️

I learnt on a darning mushroom+Youtube and now have a darning loom. Weaving the threads back and forth feels quite therapeutic (even though I’ve yet to figure out how to neatly finish the mend 😅)

That’s really kind of you to say, thank you! 🥰

Finally starting this beanie after buying the pattern a year ago. Working with self-patterning sock yarn for the first time.

This is going to be so good for those long festive commutes, but hopefully won’t take too long to make. I need to get two finished before January 🗓️

After the ribbing, the pattern called for k3 before tight bind off. I kept it at k2 before the ‘regular’ bind off. Up close it looks like it’s curling up slightly but from afar it’s created this clean line effect!

Definitely! It’s so bright and warm. Still have some balls leftover from this jumper, already debating what to make from it next!

Turtleneck WIP. My first attempt at a raglan did go a little haywire, but reckon I pulled it back sufficiently. Also my first time working with 100% wool, which feels lovely

🐝 Beanie WIP update. Coming along nicely (and far more quickly than I expected). Loving the pattern.

🧶 Yarn emoji turtleneck update 🧶 Just half a sleeve + the neck to go. Slow and steady wins the race, but still had hoped for faster progress! Of course whenever you’re close to finishing a project, life finds a way of getting extremely busy🫨
