A lovely short (15 minutes long) documentary about the sheep, wool and knitting of the Faroe Islands. Explores the rich history, island yarn producers and designers in their studios/shops, along with the 100+ motifs associated with the island. A worthy watch!

I'm opening up EMERGENCY COMMS! Please commission me for custom hats, scarves, gloves/mittens, or socks! I will take 3-4 of these. Note that I still probably won't be able to ship anything until after I return home in late October.

Edit: since apparently this matters to say to some of you more than the emergency itself, I can only ship to the US.

I am going to set this #knitting project on fire.

Knitting is not a craft. It is an ancient form of torture for the sin of wanting nice socks. A sin unforgivable, deserving only pain.

I'm really impressed with Steph's analysis. (is she on here yet?) #Pinterest is mostly shoppable and sponsored content. Social media should connect us with other people and their ideas. It's more fun, and healthy that way.

I would love to see this kind of analysis of #facebook, #instagram, #tumblr and #bluesky #sewing #knitting #fiberarts

There are more interesting graphs like this one in her video:

Can everyone who knits socks just pause and take a moment to pat yourself on the back and enjoy the satisfaction of wearing snuggly socks you hand knit. Your very own self. 🧦 🧶

Well done!

#FlashbackThursday There are many ways to join two pieces of knitted fabric together. Whip stitch or overcast seaming, a pretty basic and fast to work seaming technique 😃

Update: Halloween Party cowl is done and blocked! (Yes, the ends are actually woven in, though I spotted one that needs a trim.)

#selfie #EyeContact #knitting

Terri is squinting into the sun and wearing a shawl shaped cowl made using the Halloween Party pattern. It features colourwork skeletons, cats in pumpkin costumes, and ghosts with trick or treat bags, though they're harder to see the way it's draping.

Halloween Party cowl is off the needles, but since I got behind the clues I didn't weave in ends as I went the way I usually do and, uhh...

#knitting

The inside of a colourwork knitted cowl showing a lot of ends of yarn that are sticking out and will need to be woven in, probably around 50 though it's hard to see in the riot of internal floating strands of different colours.

Hand-knitted cowl knitted on the bias pinned on a blocking board. The cowl is made up of very light blue garter stitch short row diamond within dark red contour rows.

It's time to bring out fingerless mitts. I'm usually not cold. Only my fingers when I'm working at the computer have a tendency to need a bit of extra warmth.

These mitts are probably the finest thing I've ever knit - 2.0 mm needles and a gauge of 40 sets / 10 cm in stockinette. The yarn is a merino silk blend that runs 1.340 m / 100 g

@knitting @fiberarts #knitting #HandmadeWardrobe #fiberarts #slowfashion

Same hand, this time turned up so the palm is visible. It's in stockinette stitch.

A hand clad with a fingerless mitt, backside of the hand is visible.

The mitt is made from green brown, very fine yarn. The yarn produces rather wide stripes with no discernible repetitive pattern in several shades of olive, moss and dark green and some brown.

The texture of the fabric is lacy, lengthwise stripes. — A hand clad with a fingerless mitt, backside of the hand is visible. The mitt is made from green brown, very fine yarn.
