State of the cardigan report after Monday's stream: the sleeves are on!

Pattern: Sascha cardigan
yarn: CEY Woodland (discontinued)

Want to see the knitting in action? the VoD is available now on twitch!
A purple hand-knit cardigan in progress lays flat on a white fuzzy background. The body and sleeves are on the cable of a knitting needle, awaiting the completion of the shoulder shaping and neckline.

Happy halloween! Gimmie a diamond! Gimmie aether! Gimmie candy! (It's Gimmie Cat!)
A carved pumpkin, surrounded by darkness, is illuminated by an LED candle. The carving shows Final Fantasy's character "Gimmie Cat" who is a lanky cat with big eyes, a big grin, and little bat wings on its back and ears.

Today on "knitting projects that are not hats, but fit so nicely on the pumpkin"

Wednesday's stream had just the right amount of chaos, I think. The Creatures of the Stream may or may not be up to something.

Monday's knit and chat was day one of chocobo design!

gauge swatch knit, chocobo sketched, test beak started, we're off to the (chocobo) races!

You can find the vod on twitch, and next Monday I'll continue the project!
A cluttered desk with an open notebook, showing a pen and ink sketch of a chocobo, along with knitting notes. A set of four DPNs holds a tiny beak knit in mustard yellow. Henphina, emotional support chicken, looks on from the right side. Swatch cards, fountain pens, and a cup of tea frame the scene.

Operation "scarf for emotional support chicken" was successful!

I saw a beautiful sunny day so, photo time it is! Current progress on the hexie diamond socks after yesterday's stream, featuring the amazing colours in this Lichen and Lace yarn:
Socks, being worked two at a time using magic loop, on brass circular needles with a blue cable. The socks are a mix of greens, golds, browns, and burgundy. A silver toned raven beginning of round marker is attached to the left sock cuff. Two balls of yarn sit on a snowbank. The yarn has colours of olive, gold, burgundy, brown, and dusty rose.

February inks. I meant to ink four pens, but this trio is working well for me.
three fountain pens on a rhodia pad of paper, with three written ink swatches in Fuyu Syogun (a light blue-grey), Yozakura (a greyish purple), and Romance Grey (a dark graphite grey).

Swatching, testing, calculating... When you want to use up yarn from one project but you don't make gauge for the other, it's time for knitting math.
Grey yarn knit up in twisted rib stitch on three double pointed needles sits atop a pattern page. A cup of tea and general clutter frames the scene.

A Lucky first post.
