Finished my first knitted scarf! I love the colors, but I really wish the yarn was softer. It's so rough 😭 might make more with the other bitty stripes colors I have, seam them together and give it to the kitties. They seem to love the rougher towel feel.

Knitting my first scarf. Using Red Heart bitty stripes. I'm still new to knitting. But I'm happy with how it's coming out. I'm getting better at seeing where my tension changes. Not fixing it yet, but identifying it.

Hear ye, hear ye! The rumors are true! This is all there was of Big Twist and K+C, but still. It's here!
Purchased K+C 100% cotton yarn for $4.49 to finish a project. I'm stocked on Big Twist, but needed more of the K+C to do something with it!

Knitting my first scarf!

It keeps curling, I plan on giving it a border and block it.

I made 15 and I don't know what I'm doing with them. I originally thought a scarf, but I would need to figure out something to make it flow better.
Any ideas?

Trying to see how far I can make this 600~ yards of yarn. It's a beautiful self striping yarn a friend got me and I'm not in a financial position to buy more.

A shawl. Eventually I'll block it... Probably... Maybe?
I'm thinking of giving it a border after the blocking that may or may not happen this year 😂

I love these colors together. At first I thought it was too patriotic, but then I realized a ton of countries use red, white, and blue for their flag.

I am working on a shawl that combines yarn along with a reflective thread. I'm thinking of creating things with reflective thread because safety at night and stuff.

Venturing into uncharted territory: leather meets yarn. First time doing this combo and I might be hooked 🪡🐑🖤

Crochet project featuring an oval black leather base stitched to a cotton yarn body in shades of blue, teal, and lavender. The piece is mid-progress and resting on a person's leg, with a yarn marker clipped to one side. Top-down view of a crochet project with a black leather oval base and multicolored cotton yarn in turquoise, light blue, and lavender forming the sides. The stitching clearly contrasts the smooth leather and textured yarn.

How am I doing?

It's really hypnotic... like way more hypnotic than crochet 🧶 😅

Learning success! 🎉 This crocheter now knows some knitting. I’ll keep practicing until it sticks. My goal is to make sweaters and cardigans for my mom one day.

Sometimes she gets excited and wants to roughhouse with me, but my skin is super fragile, so I'll throw her a skein to kick instead of me.
