Witchy pun?

Yes, I was thinking that when I looked at this picture, “hey they look a lot shorter than they look in my hand.”Just about perfect. 👌 using every single day and still no complaints. it *would* be better if the battery lasted forever, 😹. seems to last 2 to 3 hours for 2 to 3 days …Approx 10 hours?

These are gorgeous. I think the variety of color and textures are amazing. Reading you say you need to try something *more* exciting is amazing to me lol. I can understand a bit, but I have only ever knit 3 socks (starting #4).

A #sock completed! Not yet blocked and not “perfect”, but still very happy with it. Started studying network stuff for my job and the writing of flash cards has kind of messed up my elbow, so I’m gonna take a break from both socks and writing #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶. May start a #sweater ! Lol

One last post for #showmeyourknits theme of care and joy - bit of self-care with my new neck light- actually progressing on these socks with dark yarn, whereas before it was very slow going!! Also my baby alpaca v neck pullover- started last year, finished a week or so ago. So soft!

Interesting! 🧐 well I won’t avoid intarsia in future at least….though not sure I’m ready to seek it out. ;) thanks for the confidence boost :)

Groovy :)

Yes I’m very much still a beginner - maybe advanced beginner at best. never even thought about intarsia! Only a bit of stranded colorwork here and there. my daughter picked it out and asked for the stripe, which I figured I could handle!

Thanks! An easy addition to make it a bit more interesting with not much more work. Was a bit unsure where to work it in, but seems to be just right! 😅

Pullover I finished in September for my daughter off in a very wintry state for school! She just got it and loves it!! And it fits with the theme of joy and care. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #yarncrazy last year she was often cold Dec-Feb so this year we are doing better❄️

Gorgeous and it looks like it is fresh off the needles… any tips for preserving knits that you find especially good?

Woven stitch shawl, orangey merino from wool festival is fairly autumnal… +some other merinos from Lys. Glad to find a project using two yarns alternating every 2 rows to show off the single hand dyed merino hank. Stitch was fun, easy and looks cool imo. -#showmeyourknits #knitsky

Scarf/shawl worn neckerchief style…mostly shades of dark orange with accents of teal blue - in two stripes and border.

Wool Scarf/shawl worn crossed in front…mostly shades of dark orange with accents of teal blue - in two stripes and border.

Triangular Wool Scarf/shawl - shown lying flat, being blocked. …mostly shades of dark orange with accents of teal blue - in two stripes and border.

Really like the sweater idea- could imagine knitting something like this if it was just the sleeves…

SenseNSensibility @sensensensibility.bsky.social · 29d

Can’t wait to see more of the sweater as you start and progress. Great post! What a blast that must have been!
