Happy #caturday

Looks like I’ll be working on another WIP today.

Happy Halloween Witches! 🎃🧙‍♀️👻

It’s a tad early for Midnight Margaritas but I have to say that my absolute favourite scene in the movie is when all the women show up, link hands, and blast Jimmy out. We should all have such a phone tree. ❤️

Spent an absolutely lovely day trekking about on Mount-Royal yesterday. Need more of these Autumn days 🍂🍁

A bright sunny afternoon on Montreal’s Mount-Royal. Beaver Lake is in view with trees in their Autumn foliage in the background.

No - it’s based on the Grotine pattern by Caroline Dick.

I cannot believe that this is the last week of October 😭 Still toiling away on the blanket but I did start a more portable project. Also, looking forward to rereading this book before seeing the movie.

Hello October! 🎃👻🧙‍♀️

Still working on the blanket. However, I do have a “want to knit” list full of projects I cannot wait to get to.

The Spellshop - a book by Sarag Beth Durst - lies on top of a knit WIP. The WIP in question is a blanket with an alternating herringbone pattern. The yarn colour is golden - although in the photo it looks more like yellow.

Feeling like Charlie Brown’s Linus by dragging my blanket around in case I get a few minutes to knit. Also, new commute book since I can’t knit during rush hour (too many people.)

🤣 There’ll definitely be peace when I’m done.

A quiet Saturday Night over here. Knitting and rewatching Supernatural.

Yes! I want something cozy for Autumn. I haven’t weighed my swatch but I took a look at a few yarn calculators and they were pretty consistent with the yardage for what I want - a lot of yarn for a big throw (50x60”.) But I do like the car-seat idea - thank you for sharing 🙂

Mellie @mellieknits.bsky.social · Aug 21

Made another swatch. I’ve decided that since I haven’t knitted in a while, I now want to make a throw. Because of course I do. As much as love the stitches on the first swatch, it takes up a lot of yarn. This pattern also has points for being reversible.

Thank you! Normally my tension isn’t the greatest but I lucked out with the swatch. We’ll see how it goes on a larger scale. The colour will make up for any mishaps.

I love textured knits! And definitely savouring the small moments of joy.
