Hi there 🦉! Having had problems with my hands as well as problems connecting to Bluesky (now obviously resolved🎉), I haven't been very active here.
In any case, I made another video in which I explain what I've been doing over the past few weeks 😊🧶.

For those interested, here's the 2nd episode of my (video) knitting podcast 🧶! I've made some progress on wips and started on new things.
I'm still very new to this so don't hesitate to tell me what to do better next time 😊

I've started another project that I had in mind for a long time now. I hope it'll work out. The 🧶 are #knittingforolive Pure silk and #holstgarn Tides. (If you're curious, I've talked about it in my podcast thingy video 😀).
Let's see how it'll turn out ! #knitsky #knitting
Start of a new knitting project laying on a ball of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk and Holstgarn Tides yarns on a table in front of a light wall. The work in progress is a golden brown colour stripped with heathered navy blue with a pattern of three stripes and a larger space in between. The sun is coming from above, making the piece of knitting lighter where it hits. On the right of the project is a ceramic perfume recipient with a dried leaf and wooden sticks coming out of it.

I'm trying all the things at the moment to see what works best for me (+ my health).
I really want to share the things I make and try to connect with other people, and so I made a -video- podcast !
So welcome over there if you're into that sort of thing ☺️🧶 #knitsky #knitting

I realized that I haven't posted my sweater progress over here ! It has no name at the moment, but it's such a pleasant knit. I'm knitting it with #biches&buches le petit lambswool+petit silk and mohair. I can't wait to see how it'll turn out. #knitting #knitsky

And the Rillen sweater by Rui Yamamuro is finished! I loved making it, i'll love wearing it. I'm a bit sad that it's done, this was so pleasant to make. The yarn is #cascade220heathers

A person showcasing a handmade sweater sitting by a window. The weather is gloomy but the light reflects on the sweater that has a very textured motif. The colour of the sweater is difficult to describe: a mix of warm brown leaning into grey with silver highlights A close up of the decrease detail on the sleeve of a handknit sweater.

I wanted to be 100% of the length so I decided to block it before working the rib. I know that this kind of motif tends to relax a lot when blocking (my swatch did too) and I really don't want a cropped oversized sweater! Now I'm eagerly waiting for it to dry. #knitting #knitsky #testknitting

If you are interested in that sort of thing: I've began to post little chronicles of things that I liked/seen and progress I've made on projects over a week. It'll be mainly about #knitting, but not necessarily if something else is inspiring to me !

I'm making good progress on my #rillensweater test knit by Rui Yamamuro. It's such a joy to knit this sweater because of the pattern and the yarn (cascade 220 heathers). Really looking forward to see how it'll block out (and wearing it!). #knitting #knitsky
Handknitted sweater laying on a wooden table with ceramic decorations and candles in the background. The sweater is knitted in a gray/brown colour and has a texture that catches the light making it looks like mountains and valleys. A sleeve is shown in the foreground. Handknitted sweater work in progress picture taken from above on a wooden table. There a ceramic vase on the left, and a piece of slate on the right on which the rest of a ball of yarn is. The sweater has rolled neck, and only one sleeve finished. The body and second sleeve are waiting to be done. It's knitted in a mix of brown and grey yarn, with a subtle shine that emphasize the textured motif under the light.

This is my 4th sample of my #hubanecollar currently in testing. For now it looks weirdly pointy but it'll change when I add the edgings! I used nutiden yarn combined with mohairs and I love how this combo feels! I'll share more of the other samples later 😊 (reposted to add the alt!)

I'm #testknitting the rillen sweater by Rui Yamamuro and I'm having a blast ! This afternoon I'll begin the sleeves. I am loving this texture and how it plays with the light!

I am beyond happy to have found these classics second hand 🧶. It's pretty difficult to find them in my country (France) and I've been on the hunt for some time ! If you know any other interesting technical (stitch patterns/construction) books, I am all ears 😀 #knitting
Five knitting and one sashiko books on a shelf with the title facing. The book on the bottom is "Japanese Country quilting" by K.Matsunaga. Then the four others, are from by Barbara G.Walker. From bottom to top : "A second Treasury of Knitting patterns", "A treasury of knitting patterns", "Charted knitting designs" and "Mosaic Knitting".

1, 2, 1, 2, test ? Hello there🦉!
I mainly post on Instagram, but if I can avoid it I will. I'm a French person who loves to knit: from other designers (test knits or not) and designing things for other people to knit. Here's a recently made Alatau hat that I like from Ainur Berkimbayeva (ToquTigu).
