I’ve gotten thru the more white dominant (versus blue green pigment dominant) ball of yarn, and now on the first ball of the more pigmented parts of the original skeins. I cut up and joined from white dominant sections to gradually more pigmented so I could have an ombre effect. Will post progress

I think the size of needles I was using made me hyperextend my thumbs and pointer fingers more than I should. So I switched back to US size 6 needles. Less movement in general than the bigger needles. I am getting somewhere going slower and with smaller needles! Huzzah!

The stockinette helps

After days of fucking up the linen stitch when I’d previously made a swath about 4-5” in depth, I forced myself to slow down so as to be intentional and not trying to speed my way thru the process. After all, I’m still a beginner. It’s like I’m a toddler trying to run before I can even walk.

Been snipping and sorting about 4 skeins of this yarn into bobbins by amount of pigment. Pausing the winding and joining, and sewing garlands of the categories together for easy visual sorting and practicality. Can just rip em off as needed.

The bobbins are made of cheap thin index cards.
Paper bobbins with blue green speckled white yarn wound around them. White yarn with sparser blue green speckles wound around paper bobbins, sewn together with thread.

The swatch I’ve been experimenting with has no pattern, but inspired by this knit top pattern called Rumble Raglan by Lydia Morrow (can be found on Ribblr). I didn’t align the stripes at all like her design, wanted to try something different.

Someday, when I can make knit garments, I’m making this

Photo contains image of designer Lydia Morrow, a pale skinned white woman with a wavy blond bob haircut with pink ends and bangs. She has on bright orange lipstick, She is facing the camera. Her knit top design is a short sleeve crew neck, made of beautiful stripes. The yarn colors used are bright neons and perhaps a very pale pink.

I’ve practiced (simple K+P) knitting for weeks and suddenly am a *moves hair behind my ear* colorwork wizard?!?

Not quite, but I slowed my roll, tried my best to pay attn. Still some mess ups, but I like it. Now to decide: keep going to make scarf, cast off to make wall hanging, or 2x for sleeves?

I messed up on the last swatch in the above post, like twice. I attempted to make wee arches in the last section of this swatch. I didn’t pay close enough attn. so I messed up most of them. I was successful for like 2-3 of em. Again, no pattern or knowledge, just experimenting. 🤓
Photo of bsky user Nakaligtas’ knitting swatch. Yarns used are a thin gauge AKA fingering gauge teal and bubblegum pink. The bottom of swatch is a horizontal strip of teal, leading to a swath of checkerboard pattern, then a sort of teal comb-like pattern, leading to a window-like pattern with pink frame and teal windows, leading up to teal frame and pink arches. Some of the pink inset arches are messed up at the tops. Wooden knitting needles. Background is the black fur of Nakaligtas’ black tuxedo cat.

Tried to make a sort of glitched checkered look without a pattern or knowledge, and accidentally did a sort of houndstooth instead lol. I only have knit and purl down, and only know how to do the basket weave stitch. Got bored w basket weave, so I did checkers. This makes my brain go burrrrrrr

TIL about a little something called “heifer heels” and I am BESIDE myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
Screenshot from Facebook page called Seattle Vintage. FB user Bill G. posted text: “During the Seattle Area Prohibition (1920-1933), American bootleggers needed to dodge the police. So, they invented heifer-heels. These shoes made them resemble cows when moving through fields, preventing the cops from tracking their footprints. It’s a unique way of “hoofin’-it.” Desperate times call for desperate measures.” Black & white photos of modified men’s dress shoes from Prohibition era, including photo of the modified soles made to imitate cow hooves to create cow tracks.

I also may have made the mistake of drinking double strength chai before working on my laptop. Heart is RACING. Still gonna try to nap b4 my cat’s dinnertime though.

the little stinker cuddling in my lap. One of my favorite things about her is she knows what “cuddles” means. 🥹🥰
Close up photo of Nakaligtas’ black & white tuxedo cat curled up on her lap. The cat’s eyes are closed, front paws gently curled under her chin, and tail curled towards her face. The cat’s fur has “rusted,” otherwise known as sun bleached. A phenomenon that occurs in black coated cats when they’ve spent long periods laying in the sun. In real life, the cat looks less red-brown and more black-brown.

there she is, the skinny legend herself, enjoying a steam facial courtesy of my dishwasher.

I am trying to feed her more often thru the day (fast eater) but I’m sure she’s still only 5 lbs. 🙂‍↕️😩🥹 She’s 5 & will be 6 in October.
User Nakaligtas’ tiny black and white tuxedo cat perched with her behind on the edge of a kitchen counter and front half leaning above an open dishwasher door with steam coming out. There is a large handwritten sign that says CLEAN on it, and a secondary smaller magnet that can slide from DIRTY (red) to CLEAN (green). Signs are for Nakaligtas’ mother who has Alzheimer’s, as well as labels on upper cabinets.
