Nearly finished my first colour work mitten with my beautiful Winter Solstice yarn from @littlebirdinagarden.

Loving it so much!!

Finished up a fingering weight 2 ply for a pair of mitten! I think the wool is BFL, but I’ve been working on this for so long I have no real clue.

Grey day, colorful project 🌈 ✨

[autisknitt]

The first six days worth of yarn! Seriously obsessed with this fiber advent 🐑💚❤️✨

Taking a brief break from working on the gavle goat itself to get started on making the flames!

This is a “trust the process” kind of step lol

Catching floats in two-handed knitting: how to catch the right hand yarn (i.e. the non-dominant yarn) on the purl side.

This is another very nerdy post. You’ll only ever need it, if you knit stranded colourwork on two needles and have long floats on a purl row.

But a few of you did ask for it, when I posted a video showing how to catch floats on the knit side.

Personally, I usually knit with both yarns in the left hand, (you’ll notice how bad I am at throwing in this video 🫣😅) but I hope you’ll find it useful nonetheless…

Stay tuned for a video showing how to catch the left-hand yarn (which is, admittedly, easier!)

The masses have spoken!

knit some mittens and thought about my grandma knitting 14 pairs for the 14 kids, sad I didn’t get to share this hobby with her :(

some finished projects from the last month 🧶

Day 7 (a double bill today as a treat and cause I did loads of spinning yesterday while not doing other chores) and it's an interesting monochrome today in the advent calendar. This is a Christmas Carol reference so notably gray and ghostly

This is also the first time I've spun mohair in any kind of mix and it's interesting.... Mixed with the very soft alpaca and llama as well it's a really soft and drapey yarn out at the end.

I didn't get that much meterage either, it was quite hard to keep a hold of and keep fine so maybe that's the cause but would have been nice to have more of it.

And a final treat: week one all together <3

Finished the shoreline shawl!

It's just so pretty, exactly how I pictured it.

The body is Dye Mad Yarns Genny Worsted in the Great Lakes set. The stripes are:

1-4: Superior

5-7: Ontario

8-9: Michigan

10: Huron

11: Erie

CC/Edging: Valley Yarns Ashfield

Slipped the first stitch of every row through the body of the shawl. I normally do this, but for some reason it wound up super tight - it can't lay completely flat because of this. Next time I think I'll add a yarn over at the end of each row, dropping it when I get back to it.

Pattern is Cinder Rose by Kalurah Hudson. I made it bigger, but didn't take enough notes to know how much bigger.

(the yarn doesn't look that creamy in real life)

This thing is so heavy and snuggly, it's like wearing a blanket around my shoulders.

I am So. Close. to finishing the knitted patchwork couch throw for my sister!

All the knitting is done, and I am really proud of how it's turned out!

There's just one thing left to do before I can post it to her.

Weave in All. These. Ends.

😭😭😭

I want to post it before Christmas so that there's any hope of its being useful to her during her Northern hemisphere winter.

There's just a couple hundred ends to weave in first. 😑😖😫

(You know the drill, like to charge, reblog to cast)
