#vintagemkal25
All of the squares for my Berroco #vintageMKAL25 are done! Now I just have to sew them together. Actually they've been done for more than a month, but this year has had a lot of life things and I have been bad about posting. The big things:

Good: I'm changing careers! I'm an editor!

#ShowMeYourKnits Cables week! I don't love cables but I currently have 2 cabled projects going. Honeycomb Socks, and the #VintageMKAL25 year long mystery blanket which has *tons* of cabled blocks. I only have 2 done because I am way behind. 😂 🧶 #knit

#showmeyourknits is WIP week again & mine haven't changed. Still working on a pair of bed socks (6+ mos old), yet another Stealth Pride hat, decade old hexie blanket, #VintageMKAL25, and #ResplendenceShawl. It's time to frog the bed socks & start over with a pattern that I don't hate! 🧶 #knitting

Decided to skip block 10 to take a break from cables so here's block 11. Mosaic knitting! Somehow I lost an entire 9 inch long metal needle (my couch EATS needles!) and had to switch to my wooden ones.... hopefully the change won't be visible in the tension. 😕 #VintageMKAL25 #knitting 🧶

FINALLY finished with the second May square (they were both cables) and I'm ready for the first June square, which is... cables. 😬 #VintageMKAL25

It is possible I'm just too stressed for cables right now. 😒 Attempt 5 (!) is going okay but it's taking 3 colors of stitch markers and a row counter to keep me in line. It's not that complicated! I'm just unable to concentrate. Possibly because the world is on fire and my kid is being hunted.

I remembered to bring my knitting today. Cables don’t look great in cotton yarn, but I’m sure the variety in the blanket will be nice. 🧶 #VintageMKAL25

I actually finished March's squares for the Berroco mystery knit along only slightly into April, but didn't take pictures in a timely manner. The intarsia square was so close to the Pride flag that I made an extra one. Downside: so many ends to weave in... 🧶 🌈 #berrocoYarn #vintageMKAL25

Blocking. It's going to be seamed to a thousand other blocks so the ripples around the edges won't matter. #VintageMKAL25 🧶 #knitting

I am now caught up with the #VintageMKAL25 yaaaaaaay! Heading back to the new place this week so I can finally block everything and determine which ⏹️ needs to be reknit- the biggest or the smallest! 😂 One of them is inevitable. Deep sigh. 🧶
April 15, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Done!! It is a tiny bit undersized but as my knitting role model always tells me "that shit will block right out!" 😂 🧶 #knitting #VintageMKAL25 And this brings me up to date- just need to block them all and then I'm ready for the May squares.

More Gray for #showmeyourknits is this #vintageMKAL25 lace square which has outgrown the only dpns I have with me- which are mismatched! 3 7s and a 6- & i don't have a circular 7 atm. Might move it to my circ 6 and just think BIG. 😂 Also can I just say I think the pinhole cast on is ugly? B/c I do.

#showmeyourknits is Greys this week! One of my favorite colors! 🩶🩶🩶 🧶 #knit

#showmeyourknits What's on my needles tonight is the March intarsia block from the #VintageMKAL25 What's UNDER my needles is an extremely relaxed corgi. Every once in awhile she opens her eyes, licks my foot for a minute, and then goes back to sleep. 🤣 🧶 🐶

Oh, that's right. I remember now! Intarsia is a pain in the ass. And this square managed to be way too small, after threatening to be way too big, so I will have to do it again. But I'm not bitter. 🙂 🧶 #knitting #swatchesLIE #lyingbastardswatches

Everything is terrible and casting on the 6th (and final, thank dog!!!) identical freaking square in a row is not cheering me up. I should've spread the damned things out across the year instead of doing them all at once. #VintageMKAL25 #BORED 🧶 #knitting

#showmeyourknits WIPs week! I have almost nothing to show- fewest wips I have ever had in my life. 😂 #VintageMKAL25 , weaving in ends on a scrappy 10 stitch blanket, and my second #Unfreeshawl. 🧶 #knit

#wipwednesday 3 textured squares from my #VintageMKAL25 I think I should've made the navy one a needle size down but am relying on blocking to save me. 🤞🤞🤞#knitting

Working on my #VintageMKAL25 which I'm starting to think might actually be cursed... luckily my lovely assistant is very supportive. 🧶 #knitting

This (FINALLY) is all of my yarn 🧶 for the Berrocco Vintage mystery blanket. But I hate the green, which was supposed to be my c2. 😱 It's too bright compared to the other colors. It just doesn't blend at all. Going to try to replace it with a light gray, if one of the LYSs has some. 🤞#VintageMKAL25

February's squares for my Berroco MKAL-as-Pride-flags. There are supposed to be 6 of this pattern, but I got bored and will probably make two extra in a different pattern. I'm mostly confident that the curling edges will be fine once I sew the blocks together. 🧶 🌈 #berrocoYarn #vintageMKAL25
March 12, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Getting there! Don't have a pic of the other 2 yet but they are done #vintagemkal25

If you're using the chart the right side rows are left to right which I really didn't like, I also think the repeat section was a bit confusing

What the heck is it that’s so frustrating about the second square in the #vintagemkal25? This is my second time knitting it and it’s STILL driving me nuts. 🧶
