a whale of a good time🐋
#knitting#wip#knitblr#pattern is Melville on Ravelry😊#let me tell you…this sweater is my white whale (even if the whale is blue ofc). I’ve been dreaming and scheming of designing her for years.#and at last! she’s here! and she’s full of silly fun details!#like Morse code along the raglan shaping spelling out SOS. waves on the sleeves spaced out according to the Fibonacci sequence.#and a fucking colorwork whale! she’s got it all.#moby dick#whale weekly

[ID: 4 photos of a green v-neck sweater vest, with designs from 1760 in light beige yarn. The first two photos show the front and back of the vest. There is a design with birds and flowers circling the bottom. The front has a lying down dog, facing left but with its head turned back to the right. The back has a man on a horse, holding a bird in his hand. The v-neck and armholes are 1x1 ribbed, and the hem is ribbed in a “baby cable” pattern. The third photo shows a close up of the colourwork from the inside. The birds along the bottom are stranded, whereas the larger designs on the front and back use ladderback jacquard. The fourth photo shows a closeup of the design along the bottom. Two birds face eachother, with a pole inbetween them and candlesticks to the side of them. End ID]
A sweater vest for my friend, using designs from a 1760 german pattern book that i meticulously copied into stitchfiddle and then arranged onto a pattern.
I'm really proud of this, I knit the same vest pattern (but with different, simpler colourwork) almost exactly 2 years ago, and seeing my progress since then is really cool!

I believe I am onto something interesting with this. I am actually quite excited.
This is not stranded knitting, but slip stitches. In my opinion it is easier to knit with many colours using slip stitches rather that stranded knitting, because I get to knit with only one yarn at a time. And slip stitches create such interesting textures.
This is going to be my contribution to scrapalong 2025, even if it is not strictly scrappy, only partly scrappy. It is going to be socks.

If I didn't mention this, I'm also working on this beauty I did all that colorwork while watching all three extended versions of LOTR 😅😅

i don't generally bother posting the stuff i knit exactly from existing patterns but i finally wove in the ends on a couple frankensteined socks and figured i might as well throw them up here? they're very dumb but i'm fond of them.
for the first pair i made up a colorwork pattern for the feanorian heraldic symbol, and slapped it together with the pisqu sock structure and toe pattern, and a snippet of a mitten for the sole halves. the yarn is 100g of jamieson's of shetland that i got on the high street of fort william, as a treat after walking 100 miles from glasgow to get there, and i had... maybe 10 yards total left over? i had to cut off the long tail from my cast-on and use it to graft the toe closed on the last sock; it was nerve-wracking. if i did this pattern again, i'd probably put the toe motif in between the two heraldic lozenges, but the first time through i wasn't sure how the math would work out so i frontloaded them. ah well!
the second pair is the structure of an existing sock i've forgotten the name of (worked in the round from the tip of the heel to a hat-like shape with six sides; two opposite ones are grafted together to form the instep and the other sets of two open into the cuff and close into the toe), with the colorwork pattern from the gogink sweater yoke. i thiiiink you could do this with basically any colorwork sweater yoke, but i've only tried it with this one. if i did it again i'd add some short rows to the front side of the cuff; the construction sort of pulls it down so that the heel side of the cuff is higher than the front, and a couple short row rounds would probably level it back out. i like these because they neatly smash the cuff-down/toe-up binary and make everybody mad, and i am at all times an imp of the perverse.
#ignore me standing in my windowsill it's the cleanest part of my room rn and the lighting was good#knitting#fiber art#knitblr#that's it that's enough tags if you see it you see it.#oh also if anyone wants charts/more detailed instructions for either of these let me know and i'll slap something together!#i also have a colorwork block for the nolofinwean heraldic symbol if anyone feels strongly about their allegiances#but you gotta say þerinde with the þ seven times out loud before i'll give it to you‚ because i am a horrible partisan bastard :D#aggressive linguistic prescriptivism#<- fiber arts tag for a reason!#subcreation

THE GLOVES 🙌 I made these back in spring this year for a friend and I think they're so gorgeous. It was my first ever full project on dpn and my 2nd stranded color work. They were such a joy to make
