Here’s what the back of a reversible full-sized moth shaped jumper looks like.

Absolutely silly that you can just knit different colors together and make things that look like other recognizable things. I am mad with power.

I'm adapting the Oakwood Knits Stardew Valley socks pattern into a musselburgh and it's working. Learned color work and duplicate stitch for this and I'm very excited about the new world of possibilities.

The Little Knit Fish pattern is live and available for free!

Little Knit Fish are the perfect way to use up your leftover sock yarn. You know, the little pieces that are too small to do anything else with? Make the most of your yarn with a little aquatic friend, perfect as decoration, cat toys, or simply wee stuffed animals.

You can find the pattern for free on my blog, or if you prefer an ad-free printable version, you can also purchase it on my website or on Ravelry.

Sleeeeeeeeeves. This one has been a doozy- mainly from my own making. (I’ll elaborate in another post if folks are curious of the journey.) Going to finish the 2nd sleeve and then keep knitting on the body. Using every scrap of yarn!

If you squint, you can see the purple stitch marker noting where I started from this evening.

I think this is my new favorite sweater I've ever made.

I broke my foot pretty badly about a month ago, so I've been doing a lot of knitting, but not a lot of posting of my knitting. So here's a bunch all at once.

Some socks with self striping yarn because I was curious. Two finished musselburghs (the one that looks grey is actually a gorgeous green and so soft and the multicolored one is massive because I didn't understand how to measure gauge the first time around) and my first color work project, which is a musselburgh from the Stardew Valley socks pattern which I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to do on the other half and also gotta duplicate stitch some clouds, which will also be new for me.

Whether you have a mental illness battling for your attention, struggle with brain fog, deal with chronic fatigue, have a limited number of spoons, or are simply just a little bit distractible, here are my top tips for keeping your knitting brain fog-proof and stress free.

More tips and tricks on my blog.

Tips for Knitting with Brain Fog

01 - invest in a row counter: To this day, my row counter is my best friend. With my OCD, I often doubt which row I’m on, and whether I remember completing the last row or not, so having a row counter to remind me is life saving. I have multiple row counters, so they can each live on their respective projects and I always have one on hand when I need it.

02 - avoid dark colours: Dark colours make it harder to see your stitches, and if you’re likely to lose your train of thought, being able to easily read your knitting and count your rows will be invaluable (especially if you have cause to doubt the accuracy of your row counter). Plus, straining your eyes to read your knitting isn’t going to help on the fatigue side of things.

03 - use a ruler while knitting charts: Line up your ruler so it underlines the row you’re working, and as you finish each row, slide the ruler up to the next one. Easy to locate where you’re at and no fuss trying to find the same row over and over again as you look back between the chart and your work = less strain and less fatigue for your brain.

04 - have a hard project and a break project: Sometimes you want to knit that incredibly difficult cardigan pattern with all the cables and bobbles and fiddly bits. Sometimes you just want to knit something little in the round while you watch TV in bed. Having a complex project and an easy project ready to be picked up means you can knit whatever you have the spoons/mental capacity to knit.
