whenever I think of a project to use up my scraps, I seem to need more yarn to bring it all together and end up with more scraps than I started with. which kind of defeats the object. but these socks are a ‘true’ scraps project, made with the leftovers from five pairs of socks. #showMeYourKnits 🧶

dealt with some more deep stash to make this - ruffle top from Breaking the Pattern by Named Clothing. fabric is miscellaneous quilting cotton that must be at least 15 years old, and the buttons are recycled from an old cardigan 🪡 #sewsky

decided to use up some stash fabric (and probably jinx the weather) by making this unnecessarily summery dress 🪡

for #ShowMeYourKnits garter stitch week, here’s my Waiting for Rain. Short rows with neat little lace panels to break up all that garter. it’s brilliantly wrappable, although sometimes I just knot it around my shoulders and waft around like I’m the ghost of a Victorian washerwoman 👻🧶

according to my records, I am on my 20th cardigan (😅), so here’s my first, my favourite, and my fcurrent fwip for #showMeYourKnits 🧶
I made the leopard print one in 2007. if it were human it would almost be old enough to buy me a drink. terrifying.

hot off the needles, some DK for #showmeyourknits - another shortened and cardiganised Saltburn to match my best beloved yellow one. buttons have been in my stash for 10 years, so I’m glad to finally find a use for them! 🧶

have been brushing up on my python recently, going back to text-based basics. made myself a handy simulator for when I have a millennial panic and start looking at the lottery as a viable retirement plan lmao

had to go spelunking in the caverns of past projects to find anything green for #showMeYourKnits - definite gap in the current wardrobe I should try to fill. in the meantime, here’s leek from 2012, which I wore to the point of disintegration. (improvised, random cheap yarn from the local market)

this has been on my living room floor for the last two weeks 🫠
I know it’ll only take 30 minutes when I knuckle down and do it but like you, I just can’t seem to make myself do it. lolsob.

was wondering why I was waking up with sore wrists, then updated my blanket tracker for yesterday. yep, 12000+ repetitive twisty wrist actions over the last couple of days will do that.
why did I decide to make this thing bigger again? 🥲

was just congratulating myself for finishing knitting the body of this blanket when the little devil on my shoulder said “make it bigger”
5 skeins left, which I’m thinking should be just enough for another zig while still being able to do the border. cross your fingers for me. 🤞🧶

I am also currently making a twee little pinafore that was blessed by a rare blast of sunlight this afternoon… you can just about see the shadow of the clips holding it onto the dummy because the next step is the zip and I don’t wanna 😅 #sewing 🪡

ooh, current WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits - this throw is starting to get big… but not quite as big as the last one was when it broke my foot, so hopefully I’m safe on that front. ~75k stitches done, ~35k to go 😅 🧶
