I've been working on this blanket on and off between other projects since February and it's finally done 🎉🌈

I'm going to knit and pretend I don't have feelings

Almost finished this spin of merino/silk! I'm hoping this will turn out to be a nice self striping sock weight yarn once it's all plied together.

200g BFL/Ramie blend that has sat in my stash for *undisclosed number of years*, dyed by me

if I was a cartoon character I'd be one of the recurring background guys and my main bit would be that every episode I grip my knitting needles too tight and snap them

You know at first I didn't believe it when fiber artists on tumblr would tell me to be wary of the fiber art slippery slope. And yet. I hear the siren call of the spindle. Fellow crafters help me resist. Tie me to the fucking mast. Please.

Almost done with this shawl, I'm using this swatch as a guide. It's easier to design a stitch pattern without shaping and then turn it into a triangular shape.

I've created the first first part of the charts, but still have a long way to go on writing this pattern.

sometimes in knitting you just have to go 'nobody but me will notice this mistake' and keep going

What a transformation! 💞 Our Cosmic Cliffs colorway, shown here on Polwarth, spun up to a moody & dazzling yarn even when I let the colors mix randomly in the singles and the plying. Grab your own braid on our website today 🌌

I finished the banana. I think I may have put slightly too much stuffing in it. When it was done, I embroidered a little face on the side, as requested by the person it's for.

I'm especially pleased with the small amount of shaping I did on the stem:

This is probably not ever going to be an official pattern. I know it was 36 stitches around, and that the short rows spanned 2/3 of the stitches, and then there were five plain rounds before the next short row, but I didn't really keep track of the shaping other than that.
