Hello 👋
My wrist has gotten better. Thank you all for your messages ❤️
I've been working with this yarn, and it's frankly beyond my expectations! This blue looks like space to me and the neps blue sky and dawn... It's rather dry but gets soft with blocking.
Hope I can show you a new design soon 😃

This is my wrist that has been hurting for more than two months. It started with a light pain in the wrist, and now I have troubles moving my thumb (I'm writing this with my right thumb only).
It's very difficult to have an appointment with a specialist here in France (the earliest appointment

Happy to share with you the yarn I've been working with 😃
It's Peace and Love Silk by Nomad noos, made from vegan silk and hand-spun by Nepalese women.
I'm knitting a summer top (my first ever summer top design!) with it, and I think I can show it to you soon 🙂

I noticed I was a bit late for #showmeyourknits green last week 😅
I've not knit many colorwork projects because I am not good at it, and the one I am most proud of is Peerie flooers by @katedaviesdesigns.bsky.social I knit about 10 years ago for my daughter 😃

This week's #showmeyourknits is socks!
Herr are the pairs I knit with just skein of Alegria by Manos del Uruguay, 2 pairs of Tabbies size 3 and 1 pair of Kitsushita version size 2.
I'm preparing an appendix to Tabbies pattern to work #tabbiessocks self-striping yarn 🙂

Now that the Loire Sweater's launching is finished, I'm picking up the posts about the self-striping tabbies 😃
I can't decide whether I go for the partially reversed tab(b)i (right) or the totally reversed tab(b)i (left)... 🤔

Let me introduce some testers' Loire Sweater shared on IG because not all knitters have migrated here yet...
This sweater was knitted by @amu874 on IG, with her hand-dyed yarn, for her neighbor 😯 How generous!

I'm wearing the first version of Douce folie sweater for the first time this winter (because I've been wearing the second version) and I'm still happy with it.
I took some presentable photos (with jeans and no glasses), but usually I look like in the second one (with my jogging pants and glasses) 🙃

I'm weaving in the ends of these socks and the wrong-side, reverse stockinette stripes look very nice too, don't they?
Will I knit reverse stockinette tabbies with the leftover 🤔?

Does this count as a striped project? I just finished a pair of socks for my daughter with a self-striping yarn 🙃
The pattern used is Tabbies (as usual) Kutsushita version.
