@Anke You can end up with too much, but I keep odds and sods of yarn to use as stitch holders as I prefer that to the rigid large nappy pin type (this is for #knitting). Also with sock yarn I use all the leftovers to make a new pair of socks that has about five different yarn types in it!

Question for people who do embroidery or other fibre arts: When is a rest of yarn so short you consider it useless and throw it away?

I realized that the patterning of this shawl is a bit hard to see on the light background. So, I've also made a picture with it spread out on my lap, while wearing dark-colored pants. Pretty right?! 😊

I love pictures of knitters modeling clothes they made for themselves.

In a world that often tells us our bodies are wrong and gives us crappy options for expressing ourselves through our clothes, there’s something delightful and healing about women (and others!) modeling clothes they made *just* for themselves, that looks fabulous on them 🥹

Socks again.

This was a really quick project, just a bit more than a 3-day-weekend. But they are a bit smaller than usual as my daughter's feet are about 2 sizes smaller than mine.

I bought the yarn on a whim and because I know the dyer, go to knit nights at her shop occasionally. And because I (and my daughter) love rainbows.

My standard sock template with faux cables along the sides. I think they came out great.

My first actual knitting project.

The Mobius Prime scarf.

There's a prime number of stitches per row (17) and I put the ends together like a Mobius strip for my math geek of a boy.
