Anyway, we are currently decorating for Christmas and I’m obsessed!!! Look at all the hearts! ♥️♥️♥️ They aren’t just for Valentine’s Day! 😍who knew! They’re everywhere!

Week 4: Ribbing

#knittingsquare

This week is ribbing. Whether it’s 1x1 - 2x2 - 3x3 or all of them! No wrong answers here.

Last week we alternated Knit and Purl by rows so this week I’d like to try alternating by stitches. 🧶

Join in at any time.❣️ Theres no beginning and likely no end either. 😁

On the left is my first stockinette stitch - you can see how much the edges curled.

I read that dropping the first stitch of each row helps with this problem.

So I tried it, that’s the picture on the right. I think it’s an improvement. Still learning. 😊

My Stockinette Stitch curled at the ends. I read about dropping the first stitch of each row to prevent curling and helping with a neater edge. I’m going to try that this week too. #knittingsquare

Week 3: The Stockinette

#knittingsquare

Now that we’ve done the knit and purl, I thought it would be good to practice combining the two with the stockinette stitch.

Row 1: knit
Row 2: purl
Repeat. 🧶

Knitting Challenge… Name That Stitch! 🔍 🧶

Take a look at the scarf I bought awhile back and guess the pattern! 🧣👀

Is it ribbing? Moss stitch? Something fancy I’ve never heard of? Honestly, I have no idea, so it’s just a guessing game for all of us. 😂

My favorite client loves dandelions so I made her some to enjoy all year long.

I made them with craft felt, a brushed out yarn pom pom and felted the little bee with loose wool. 🐝

I bought this circular knitting needle tonight and I’m ready to return it. I tried to use it but the cord is so stiff that it was just a nonstop struggle. Is this normal? Is it the brand? Are their better options? I need some advice please. 🧶 This girl wants to knit. 🙂

I finished my square today. It’s a little loosey goosey but that’s why it’s practice! I also tried the purlwise cast on and purlwise bind off with this one. #knittingsquare

I love the yarn. It’s the one place I can touch everything and no one looks at me weird. 😂
If you go be sure to look for the Juicy Couture yarn! 🤩 softest ever!!

Shopping the holiday sales today! I bought a lot of yarn. They gave me a huge size garbage bag to bring it home. 😅

I came home and learned how to knit this cute scrubby!

Free Pattern: Tribble Scrubby by Abigail on Ravelry

Directions were for one yarn - I winged it with two. Success! ✨💚

Join along! I started a “Knitting Square” with a friend. Like a knitting circle but we don’t meet up. Self taught with online videos. We knit squares. 🧶

Each week we practice a new stitch pattern for a mix-match blanket.

Total newbies here so..
week 1: basic knit stitch

I decided to teach myself how to knit this week. I know one stitch now and my practice piece turned into a scarf! Feeling pretty proud.

I’m now a continental girlie. IYKYK - I do now! 😄 Beginning of a new obsession or a one off? TBD. 💖

I was in the mood for some French knots.❣️ So I freestyled a cute tree but one was just a lonely story so I made another to go with it.

I was studying the decans in astrology with tarot from the book, Healing Burnout by Jackie Hope. Taurus 2. There was a tarot spread that inspired creativity. This mixed media creation was the result!

• printing on fabric
• embroidery
• gems
