I’m so grateful to my professional #meowdel team for supervising the blocking of my #ripplecroptopworsted by #jessiemaed. Is this about how blocking goes for everybody?

I finished my #ripplecroptopworsted by #jessiemaed last weekend! It is super stretchy and feels so squishy! I was originally planning to do a jumper next but instead I’ve started another t-shirt from this pattern, this time with HHF Tweedy!

I have a professional #meowdel to show off my #wip for #ShowMeYourKnits — the #ripplecroptopworsted by #jessiemaed. The yarn is 8-ply non-superwash superfine merino by White Gum Wool in Tasmania, Aus and it feels amazing!

I finished my #StepByStepSweater! I am pleasantly surprised and relieved at how well the dodgy kinked yarn blocked out. This was the second knit project I tried (after a sock) so I learned a lot and look forward to starting another jumper soon!

I finally got back to the toe on my 2nd sock! This was my first real knitting project (before going rogue with a jumper & shirt instead of finishing)! They’re not perfect but I learned *so much* and I can’t wait to apply it with more #sockknitting!

I didn’t love my #knittingwip #SoSummerShirt so I restarted in a different yarn last Friday and thanks to super hot weather keeping us in, finished a sock-weight top in 8 days! It’s not perfect but it’s my 2nd go at a garment so I learned a lot & am pretty happy!

Taking a break from my sweater, I’ve started a #SoSummerShirt by @jessiemaeddesigns.bsky.social. I’m using yarn I already had and I’m not totally sure I love the colour for this yet, but I’m really excited for the silhouette so we’ll see how we go!

Tonight I got to finish the bottom ribbing and pick up stitches on both sleeves of my (cropped) #StepByStepSweater! (Still hoping the kinked yarn in the middle blocks out 😅) I’m using 40cm cords for sleeves but already wishing I had shortie needles!

I finished the body stockinette & started bottom rib on my #StepByStepSweater! It’s looking dodgy in the middle where I used yarn from frogged crochet—hopefully it’ll block out🤞 Invasion Day long weekend is over so progress will be much slower now!

This #StepByStepSweater is starting to look like a real jumper! I’ve finished the raglan increases and split the sleeves. I’m aiming for an oversized cropped fit so I’m thinking I’ll do around 18cm/40rounds-ish for the body before the 7cm ribbing. 🧶

Mr Biscuit was, of course, immensely helpful with my #StepByStepSweater progress today! Hopefully tomorrow we’ll be able to finish the increase rounds and split the sleeves!

I’m past the German short rows & 1/4 through the other raglan increases on my #StepByStepSweater! My GSRs and increases are messy😥 but it’s my 1st time trying either so I’m mostly just happy it worked & the collar fits over my head!

I cast on a #StepByStepSweater today for my first knit jumper project! The collar’s done, and now it’s on to learning German short rows for some neck shaping!

(The yarn is Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 10-ply in Lavender.)

#YearOfTheSnake #maxicards in progress! Last year’s took about 8 weeks to get back from the postmarking centre… hopefully this year will be faster! 🤞

I started to knit about a month ago and am super proud of my first real creation — a single sock! It’s Wild Atlantic Yarns’ Macha Sock in Bramble Picking following Crazy Sock Lady’s Vanilla Socks on 9” Circulars (to the best of my ability 😅) … Its mate is on the way!
