Now this is fancy: Meg knitted me a cowl in the same colors as one of Tom Baker’s Doctor Who scarves. It’s so cozy! #knitting #fiberarts The sweater is also a Meg original from a few years ago with a polar bear on it.
Couldn’t ask for a better present.

#knitting bubble - I need some hive mind here.
I'm pretty sure now, that I will NOT have enough yarn. The new plan is to make the center front from a different yarn and color.
But what would work with these colors? Probably more complimentary than contrast. I'm thinking a darkish grey, using a yarn with a different texture (smooth and shiny) and maybe a different pattern stitch, more lacy?
Other ideas?
I'm bad at drawing - really bad.
But that's the idea.

Knitting cellular automata
The pattern was made with #p5js
and knitted on a Brother #electroknit machine

Planning my next project - I had 3 different yarns in mind with general ideas what to turn them into, but so far not really decided on the pattern.
When shuffling through the boxes of handspun yarn I found some 3ply dyed on a grey base yarn - 2 skeins, in total about 800 m
I picked https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/s11175-loucinda-shirt - but it's going to be a slipover, not a warm weather garment. And as my gauge is 22 instead of 26 sts, I work size S to get an L
This top is worked sideways - cast on for the sleeves, work a few cm, cast on additional sts for front and back, work until the shoulder width is reached, divide for front and back, work back first, then front, connect again, second shoulder, bind off body, finish the sleeve.
I'm now at the point, where I'm finished with the first skein of yarn and I still need about 20 rows for the back. The finished back would be about the halfway point

Progress report on my (first) Melt the ICE Toque. I’m doubling the 2x2 rib length to 4” so the recipient can fold it up.

Finally blocking Celestarium
I thought about grabbing something to measure from the center out so that everything is super even, but then I decided to eyeball it instead. TBH most of the time it’s gonna be bunched up around my neck or folded around my shoulders, so a perfect circle isn’t necessary. And I can always aim for more perfection when I wash & reblock it a few years from now
11 days later, and she is finally done!!!
Washing and blocking will happen another time. Maybe tomorrow if I get the motivation, but probably next weekend
But soon I will be wearing the night sky around my shoulders 🥹 #Knitting #FiberArts
