Turns out it’s less complicated than it looks. But don’t ask me to decrease anything yet!

Winging a basic-ish raglan often results in fully ripping back to the collar and starting over 🤷🏻‍♀️ Brioche short rows are no joke. 🧶#knitsky

Casually decided I don’t really need any more #handknitsocks and shouldn’t really buy yarn unless it’s to finish projects I’ve already started and I happened upon three sock patterns that I can’t live without and don’t have the yarn for. #knitsky 🧶🧦

I use the 40” for everything! I find with a longer cable there tends to be less strain on the join between the cable and the needle.

I have some wooden buttons I was planning on using. The mother-to-be is very into the neutral vibe otherwise I would have made something much more cutsie and silly.

Oh good! I was thinking blue button bands and collar

Working on a little scrappy cardigan for a baby gift. As per usual I’m considering starting over. Does the tan read too fleshy for anyone else? #knitsky

Yesterday’s was that I had super duper curly hair (I don’t) and someone had to brush it out while it was dry.

Lately I’ve been having what I like to call a mundane nightmare every night. Last night was going through sandwich bags of beaded costume jewelry and deciding what to keep. And not saving them to be reused at a later date…
