Made some fish socks for my partner’s friend. I haven’t done that much duplicate stitch in a while. Borrowed the fish from Claire Butchkoski’s Trout Mitten pattern.

Spent the first half of the day with the devil in his heart, and now he’s a sweet baby.

This sweater has been nothing but problems. Haven’t even gotten a chance to wear it yet. 👍🏻 #crochet #grannysquares #knitsky I’m sure it’s totally fixable but what a bummer.

After weeks of knitting with worsted weight acrylic yarn sock needles feel like brain surgery. #knitsky 🧶 🎃

Pattern is Citrouilles d’Halloween by Ingrid Baudine

Winging a basic-ish raglan often results in fully ripping back to the collar and starting over 🤷🏻‍♀️ Brioche short rows are no joke. 🧶#knitsky

Finished one and made a second. I never wear jewelry anymore but I’ve got a cart full and waiting with more colors. #beading #beadweaving #handmade

Everything is stressful lately but #beading has been bringing me some peace.

Trapped in bed with the scaredy dog for thunderstorm day. Maybe I’ll finally finish my Island Time Blanket from Nautikrall Crochet. #crochetersinthesky

Working on a little scrappy cardigan for a baby gift. As per usual I’m considering starting over. Does the tan read too fleshy for anyone else? #knitsky

I’m just a sucker for self striping socks. 🧶 #knitsky

Finished my little granny quilt pouch this morning!
Took a full deep clean and oil of my 20+ year old sewing machine and one final oopsy run to Joann’s

Turns out if you check the tracking page often enough your yarn comes three days early 🧶🙃 #knitsky

The pattern for @lolarusa.bsky.social Monocot socks went up today!
Can’t wait to use that ankle shaping on every sock I ever make again

It’s *a little* windy today so we’ve assumed level 1 thunderstorm protocol. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is my brain fried project 🧶
