“Be your own best friend” she said, and threw herself head-first into three colour stranded colourwork, one of which is completely non-stretchy and widely known for sticking to absolutely everything.
But my stitchmarker matches. #socktober #knitting
Bee your own best friend: don’t go to bed with your ends untucked
(Yes there will be horrible bee-puns)
The pattern actually wants 2-row repeats of 1x1 rib but I thought I’d get my pathological inability to follow instructions out early and do 4-row repeats of 2x2 rib. 🐝
In case you’ve never had the chance to use jawoll (the name is a German pun, which is enough reason 😉 ): it comes with thread in a matching colour to reinforce the heel and toes of your socks! And when you pop that out of the centre, the centre yarn comes along with it. ✨

Anyone feel like a little knitalong for #socktober? I’m going to knit the Bee-utiful socks by Stone Knits for a rather large-footed man, so I could use the support 😉 The pattern is available on Rav and Etsy. And yes, it has bumblebees with little mohair wings. 🐝 🧦
Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: well, we have talked about our favorite projects and our dream projects. Maybe you found some inspiration from something someone else is working on.
What do you have teed up as your next project? Are you pushing ahead on finishing or frogging more stuff? Or are you casting on or otherwise starting something new?

I am currently trying to decide between whether to tee up a pair of socks for #socktober, start knitting the fox whisperer shawl I posted the other day, or wait an week or so and cast on a new hat with some cool tweedy yarn I will have access to next weekend. That and working on in progress projects like knitting my Brette Shawl, spinning various things - so many options. #knitting #FinishOrFrogAlong
