I Like this plan!
Meanwhile, I took a picture of the cardigan I knitted in a desperate attempt to fend off my stash. The buttons are singles from the stash I inherited from my grandmother. The question of nature or nurture remains in play.

omg it's done. April 2024 – December 2025 (tbh i thought it was longer but maybe i've just been thinking about it for a long time). first garment, first sweater, first colorwork piece! this was really challenging but equally rewarding ❤️
pattern: Circe Pullover by Jessica Strough
yarn: Cascade 220 in Red Wine Heather and White
New #knitting project, new toot thread
First lace project
First lifeline (i know, it probably makes more sense to wait until i am further along, but right now being able to pull back to “begin lace pattern” feels right.
Also, yay using a tapestry needle to thread through the lifeline)
Knitting memes, for fun!

People who listen to audio books - please help!
What do you do with your eyes/hands when listening?
I'm trying my first audiobook and finding the experience very odd. If I try to read something, I can't concentrate on the audio, if I close my eyes I drift off to sleep, if I play a game it is too distracting.
About to take a 9 hour flight so need a strategy!
#knitting oh dang, I just tried to look at my first lace chart and I am a bit daunted.
(does this link work? https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/equinox )
https://nimble-needles.com/tutorials/read-knitting-charts-for-beginners/
and
https://nimble-needles.com/knitting-techniques-library/
help a lot!
but I welcome any tips for the methods in that chart - especially what we mean by slipping
and is "no stitch" just "move the loop from one needle to the other"? it's kind of a hard thing to search for
Finished the brown grey ombre part. So very soft. Probably finish for real tomorrow or the next day??
#knitting this is my first “real” project, and i have been knitting for two weeks.
My nephew's wife, Abby, learned to knit off the internet during the pandemic. She made these for my mother-in-law (her grandmother-in-law) this year for Christmas, and I am absolutely blown away by the level of detail.
(The photograph looks like one is slightly bigger, but that is a trick of the camera - in real life they are the same size!)

When you want to cast on a new #knitting project, but the pattern has so many red flags, and you're not sure it's worth the hassle but it's so prettttyyyy... 🫠

I didn't get Frog's jacket done in time but otherwise Frog and Toad was a success. The kids adore them, which is everything I hoped for and everything I need in this world. #knitting
