Update: we have a second cuff, and the stripes are matching pretty well so far. 😋🧶 #knitting #menwhoknit #fiberart

One sock done! Let's get the other one on the needles fast before this one ends up in the drawer alone! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool

And with a tubular bind off to match the cast on, the fisherman's rib scarf is off the needles at last!! The yarn is Homestead Tweed and I didn't follow a pattern. 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

Will hopefully finish my Homestead Tweed fisherman's rib scarf today. My relationship with knit scarves is unchanged (mostly loathing 😂), but this yarn just desperately needed to be squishy. Also first time in ages using straight needles! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #wool #yarn #fiberart

Getting some work done on the WIPs before my vest yarn gets here. Almost done with the foot on this vanilla sock with Regia self striping yarn. 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberarts #wool #yarn

I'm adventuring further than I ought 😂 I'm vestifying a sweater pattern that is a recreation of a fair isle jumper Paul McCartney wore in this famous photo.

Not sure what makes me feel older, using the am/pm organizer or swapping the days and relabeling it because I like to sort them on Saturdays? 😂

Y'all this next vest is going to be wild 😅 Just got my order in for 12 colors of Jamieson & Smith! 🧶 #knitting #menwhoknit #wool #colorwork

Well I've officially worn my new vest casually and formally, and I can safely say it's a success! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

Well she needs a soak but the "Office Vest" is off the needles and I'm in love already!!! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #fiberart #wool #yarn

Guys!! The front and back are seamed together and all that's left is the ribbing! My sweater vest dreams for 2025 are starting off strong! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #cables #wool #yarn #fiberart

Finally getting my buttons seen on this cardigan! I found these lovely turquoise starburst buttons at my local yarn shop and they convinced me away from the dark brown! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #wool #yarn #buttons #menwhoknit

Aaaaaand we have a back!! "The Office" sweater vest is coming along! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #wool #yarn #menwhoknit

Don't mind me just ignoring the two WIPs lingering from 2024 and casting on a sock! I couldn't resist! 🧶 #knit #knitting #wool #yarn

Finished my Oslo Hat number 2! I have enough yarn to do a third hat using a combination of the two colors. Should I go dark brim/light crown, light brim/dark crown, or stripes!?! Help! 🧶 #knit #knitting #handknit #wool #yarn #menwhoknit

Still needs blocked, but the Mille Cardigan is off the needles!! Aaaaaand I may have found some perfect buttons that aren't what I was expecting! 🧶 #Knitting #handknit #wool #yarn #fiberart #menwhoknit

Coffee Talk Socks (by Tracie Millar) for my boss. Knit in Cascade 220 (to match a scarf I wove). Love the way they turned out! 🧶 #knitting #handknit #menwhoknit #socks #wool #yarn #fiberarts
