I flew through the first three and I’m on book four right now. Slowing down a bit to share my time with other hobbies. 😅

#knitting the Leonitis pullover and am trying to pick up stitches for the neckline. It’s fine until I get to the sections where I shaped the neckline by doing kfb increases. The edge of the kfb increases are kind of weird and I’m just not sure where to pick up. Has anyone dealt with this before? 🧶

I’ve been doing the Italian sewn bind off and I like it just fine. I’m just wanting to experiment with alternatives. It seems a lot of creators use tubular/Italian as interchangeable terms, but they don’t always do the actual tubular set up rows.

Mariah @mshilliard.bsky.social · May 28

Do you do the tubular set up rows? I’ve been wanting to try this one, but was worried about the structure of it for a neckline.

Mariah @mshilliard.bsky.social · May 27

Hey everyone. What is your go to bind off for a ribbed neckline? I’m going for stretchy, but not so stretchy that the neckline will stretch out over time. I’m working in 2x2 rib, but I’m willing to transpose to 1x1 BO if needed. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Is the #barnesandnoble preorder code not working for other regular rewards members? It says my membership does not qualify for the promotion but in the banner it says “premium & rewards members” #booksky

I’ve seen a few other of her designs and I really like them!

Mariah @mshilliard.bsky.social · Apr 23

There are so many “basic tee” #knit designs out there. Can anyone recommend one over another? Looking for one that is just effortlessly comfy and versatile, and doesn’t choke me around the neckline. #knitpatterns #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Those colors are so fun! Beautiful yarn

#WIPWednesday finally making some progress on one of my many wips 😬 #astridsweater by #knittingforolive #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Aww, sweet widget. Lots of folks making the pattern are using colors that resemble their own cats 🥰

It’s the Catknit pullover sweater by Andrea Rangel

Mariah @mshilliard.bsky.social · Apr 15

I’m hoping once I get through the chart, it will go a little faster? 🥲 Also, 3/4 sleeves will be great! You could always layer it you needed more warmth 🤗

Hi guys! Been a while. This #catknit is taking furrrever. But how cute are those faces?! #knitsky #knitting 🧶

What’s the secret to swatching/squares that aren’t so finicky? Mine are sloppy and awkward. 🥲

Guy at the bar: “I appreciate that you’ve had at least three different types of alcohol.”

Thanks?

Does anyone else feel like one day, their post man is going to stage an intervention? He’s probably like…Jesus, pick a hobby. #knitting #knitsky #crochet #bookworm #booksky #aardvarkbooks #bookoutlet

Some people on Facebook think I dropped the increase stitch. But my count isn’t off so I’m probably going to just roll with it and try to redistribute the extra slack
