🧶 I never use bobbins in my intarsia 🧶

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 bobbins! Besides the zodiac collection, I’m also experimenting with pet portraits. Of course I started with Bruno! Check it out! It got a lot messier when I got to the eye area and had about eight strands going at once, but it worked itself out without much hassle on my part!

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...
Happy Friday!!!! I got so much creative work done this week! What was your week like? Are you saving up your craftiness for the weekend? Reply and tell me all about it! First, here's a picture of my Popcorn Ceiling cardigan. Remember popcorn ceilings? And the mess they left on your bunk bed when you scraped your head or feet on them? Bunk beds did make it easier to reattch your glow-in-the-dark stars every time they fell off! You know the stars on this cardigan glow in the dark. The glowing...
