My first time blocking wool 😍🧶 #crochet #blocking #wool
Photo of a navy crochet ribbed beanie held up by a white woman’s hand with a backdrop of grass, bare trees, and blue sky. The text “blocking a wool beanie” above it Photo of a navy crochet ribbed beanie on a grey surface. The text “Before” below it Photo of a navy crochet ribbed beanie on a grey surface. The text “After” below it. The beanie looks more relaxed and even and a bit larger than in the previous photo.

Gardens of Giverny shawl is off the needles, washed, and drying. What a difference blocking makes! The before and after is wild. I gasped when I laid it out on a towel to squeeze dry. 🥰😍🧶 #knitsky So grateful to my LYS for creating these beautiful color ways.

Wet blocking my first merino beanie into the fifth night of Hanukkah ✨ I like how the dark blue tones of the candles and wool matched 💙 #hanukkah #wool #wetblocking #crochet #crochetsky
Edited photo of three components. There is a photo of a menorah with six candles lit (5 and the shamash) in front of a window at night with a grainy film look. A stripe of navy blue makes up the righthand bordered of the image and superimposed over the photo and border in the righthand middle is a cut-out photo of a navy wool beanie and swatch being wet blocked.

My first “planned pooling” #knitting project. (Use specially dyed yarn and tension adjustment so the color stretch pools together.)

Fabulous yarn from @whimsicalwoodyarn.bsky.social. 🧶💜
A knit beanie with a dark charcoal main color and a vertical band of bright rainbow colors running from brim to top. The color shifts about slightly so that it’s jagged at the borders.

A close up of entrelac or basket-weave style knitting in variegated wool yarn, gently transitioning between various shades of green. The effect is reminiscent of a dappled forest floor

Happy Intersex Awareness Day
💛💜💛💜💛
The inter rose is my favourite #rosesagainstviolence variation i made so far. It just resembles the flag so well.
And a cute butterfly, because ... why not?
