Late post: I finished my March socks at 11:59pm on 3/31, just in time to meet my goal of a pair of socks each month!

These are the Sheppard Socks from PomPom: Ready Set Socks with Malabrigo Sock yarn.

These are meant to be a gift for my grandmother.

I finished the second sleeve and realized that I made a mistake in the way I picked up the stitches for the first sleeve.

The mistake is bad enough that I decided to start the sleeve over.

R.I.P. 😓

Milestone #drkheysailor update!

I finished the body and yokes! As well as the three needle BO for one shoulder and part of the tubular BO for the collar. (1st time doing either BO method)

Back yoke & shoulder shaping is done!

This project has taken a bit of a back seat since I started my March socks. The end of the color work is in sight! And I’m excited to try button hole bands and a tubular bind off for the first time.

Hey #knitsky! What are your favorite sock patterns? I’m brainstorming for my March socks.

My January socks were a waffle stitch/textured and February socks were color work :)

I’m thinking of doing cables or lace this month, but I’d love some suggestions!

Knitting must be witchcraft because this feels like magic

Here’s my day 15 progress on the #drkheysailor by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social

One side yoke/shoulder shaping is done.

I made up for time lost while I was sick this week! I took advantage of the rainy Saturday by finishing the body and starting the left side yoke of my #drkheysailor cardigan, accompanied by an IT movie marathon.

Now my fingers and wrists are tired and I’m ready for bed.

I give this crumb an 8/10. Semi-open with a little bit of tunneling, it just didn’t rise as much as I hoped.

This is the Overnight Country Blonde from #FWSY by Ken Forkish.

First bake in over a month! They’re a little bit flatter than I had hoped but bread is bread. I think Sandra D. (my starter) needs some love and rehab. I’m hopeful they’ll have a decent crumb. #sourdough

The obsession grows with the garment. I’m officially 7 days in on my #drkheysailor cardigan.

My regret of my yarn choice is definitely growing, but I’m determined to make it work with this Berroco Remix Light.

I'm firmly in the obsession stage of this new project. This is my start of the Hey Sailor cardigan by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social

Part of me regrets my yarn choice bc the texture interrupts the cleanness of the color work, but the softness of the fabric makes up for it.

Another pair of #StarflightSocks off the needles. I'm obsessed!

Pattern by Allison Lutes in PomPom, 46.
Yarn is Berroco Vintage DK

This pair is for my partner, who chose the yarn. He wanted them extra thick, so I made some adjustments to the pattern to accommodate the DK weight.

I got to visit the beautiful, the fabulous, the one of a kind Hazel Knits shop in Seattle, WA today.

Do yourself a favor and get some hand dyed yarn there.

This is the only good thing to happen this week. My #emotionalsupportchicken was the perfect project to keep me stable during this nightmare of a week.

Yarn is Madeline Tosh, Tosh DK in Red Fox & Rocinante.

My vision for this account is for folks to come for the shit posting and stay for the knitting content.

Here’s my first project, cast on & completed, of 2025.
