Found another use for my ww1 balaclava: Winter running beanie with a space for ponytail! Now I'm tempted to modify this pattern with a smaller hole for this particular purpose. Should I? #knitsky #knittingyesterday

Hyperfocused a bit. Crochet still hurts my arm in a way knitting does not, so I'll have to pause this shawl for a bit to recover. #knitsky #crochetsky

This weekend I started and finished this sleeping cap from the book Knitters Guide to World War 1. I'm very pleased. It worked up fast, was fun to knit. Will definitely knit more of these. #knitsky #knittingyesterday

The ww1 vest is done!!! It's... too small, even blocked and with me wearing a binder. 😅 I might give it away to someone smallest than me. Pics as follow: the original picture and pattern, me in binder and then wearing it as a period vest with a skirt. #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

Update on my ww1 vest for soldiers. It is starting to look like the picture, but it is also very... small? The pattern calls for fingering yarn but I went up a size. Still it looks like it's made for a child. I will finish it and then decide if I'm gonna frog. #knitsky #historicalpatterns

Update: I have tested Lina's sweater outside. It is warm, can deal with wind and even a light drizzle. Not so sure about trick-or-treaters though. #knitsky

This sweater is freehanded and put together will hope, sweat and tears. It's it perfect? No. It's it warm? Very. It is named Lina's sweater after my roleplaying character that wears a sweater just like this when the nights are cold. Yarn: Alafosslopi from Istex
Pattern:None

I mended this poster and bought a frame to it, and I'm so in love with it. It used to belong to my aunt's ex that now have passed. He was a huuuuge Lord of the rings fan and it feels so good to give it space in my apartment.

I hyperfocused and now I'm almost done with my Motståndsluva! Left to do is blocking, weaving in ends and making a tassel. Pics will follow.

Did I frog it twice? Yes. Once because I knitted the wording backwards, and once because I misspelled pasaran 🙃
But I hyperfocused and fixed it, trying to finish my Motståndsluva ASAP ❤️✊

Let's bring back the Motståndsluva! According to the description this red winter beanie was knit by Norwegians during the German occupation during WW2, and thus got banned. Knit and resist racism and fascism ✊I can translate to English for those interested! #knitsky #knittersagainstfascism
