About to cast on the #cottagecardigan by #jacquelinecieslak using @kelbournewoolens.bsky.social #camper. This has been on my to-do list for over a year and I’ve had the yarn just as long staring at me waiting to be used. Yarn from @scratchsupplyco.bsky.social

I’m looking for affordable silk/mohair lace weight - $5 or less per 50g - any suggestions?? I’m using #Kelbournewoolens #camper and thinking about knitting up this #cardigan I’m #knitting one of the larger sizes so I need quite a bit of yardage #knit #🧶 #knitsky #NH #newhampshire

Started scavenging yarn from #goodwill sweaters. Plying cotton with a new setup I made out of an old paper towel holder. #knitting #dropspindle #yarn #knit #reuse

This book has so much good information if you are in New England 🙂 Chock full of native plants, what they are good for, and what they are good at replacing! #nativeplants #garden #attractpollinators #supportwildlife #newengland

Book “the Northeast Native Plant Primer” on green fabric background.

What is your favorite one skein project? I need ideas for this fingering weight yarn! I don’t particularly like socks, but maybe I could make a nice gift 😅

Skein is 80% SW Merino/ 10% Cashmere/ 10%nylon
4-ply fingering, 425yds/100g

Has anyone used #rubyrouxyarn? I’m looking it up on Ravelry and can’t find it… I find it hard to believe *no one* has used it! I found some today in MA at the Mill No5 farmers market. 🧶

Have you noticed if your cats like some yarns better than others? Bridget seems to really like #Berrocoultraalpaca and #kelbournwoolens #scout but they don’t care for #noro or #toshDK

Maybe it has to do with how the yarn is processed?

Made it to the tedious part - stockinette for 18”.

#Knitting question: when a #pattern says “knit to 9 inches” do you knit to gauge? Meaning - do I knit to the point that after #blocking the garment will be 9 inches… or do I knit to preblocked 9” (~8.5”). Current project blocks with a 5% increase.

One of my favorite store-bought tops - anyone have a pattern suggestion of something similar that I can make. If it can be found on Ravelry.com that would be even better.
