🧶 I finished something! 🧶

Happy Friday! Have you had time to work on anything fun this week? I had some car knitting time, so I actually made progress on a project! I finished the cat I was knitting for my daughter. I’ll send a picture of it with her real cat as soon as I get the finishing touches on him. Lately, I’ve been thinking about which knits I actually wear. There are projects I think I’m going to love and wear every day that don’t work out. Like my Seaglass cardigan. And then there are projects like the cardigan I knit for my Halloween costume last year. I love that thing and wear it every chance I get! I realized that customization has a big impact on whether I wear the finished project. So, naturally, I gathered some customization ideas to make your knits more wearable. Please take a look and add your ideas in the comments so we can all be inspired! In other news, I hate the splitty bamboo yarn I was going to use for a Kiss wrap. I tried everything and couldn’t make it work, so I’m crocheting a big mesh sweater with it instead. Because the color is gorgeous. The yarn is still miserable to work with, but the giant mesh works up quickly so I won’t have to suffer as long. 🤣🤪😫🧶 Have a great weekend!

Hello! How have you been!?! I’ve been working on some more knit wall art. I’m so excited to show you some pics today! This is Aries, it’s part of my zodiac series. I’m loving how they’re coming out! Here’s Pisces: You can see how I just let all the strands of working yarn hang. The longest length I use is about 6-8 feet. Sometimes they get pretty tangled if there’s a bunch going at the same time, but it’s rarely bad enough for me to have to pause and untangle. I like it so much more than...
Happy Friday! How was your week? I’ve been getting another travel-friendly knitting project ready. I won’t be bringing my Popcorn Ceiling sweater because it’s too big to pack. I’m on the first sleeve, though. Yay, progress! 🎉 I’m still working on the tank top, but you know it’s impossible to bring only one project on a week long trip! So I started a fingering weight ribbed hat. I’ll write it up and send it to you after I decide how I want to do the decreases. I’m picturing a fingering weight...
Hello and happy Friday! I'm back from my trip and I brought back a knitting mistake to share! 🤣🤪 Only, I was too mad to remember to take a picture when it happened, so I recreated it as best I could for you. You know how every knit in the round pattern warns you to be careful not to twist the stitches? We've all done it at least once and ended up with a mobius strip. But have you ever managed to do it while knitting flat!?! Did you even know it was possible!?! I'm working on a tank top that...
