🧶 pro tip: set your stitch chart as the wallpaper on your phone, so you only have to tap the screen to check your next row instead of fumbling through multiple screens or apps to open it back up again.
the simulation is running out of names again, caught a radio show earlier referring to ‘Russian author’ Ivan Goncharov as if we don’t all know that name was made up in 1973 for the film 🙄

whenever I think of a project to use up my scraps, I seem to need more yarn to bring it all together and end up with more scraps than I started with. which kind of defeats the object. but these socks are a ‘true’ scraps project, made with the leftovers from five pairs of socks. #showMeYourKnits 🧶

dealt with some more deep stash to make this - ruffle top from Breaking the Pattern by Named Clothing. fabric is miscellaneous quilting cotton that must be at least 15 years old, and the buttons are recycled from an old cardigan 🪡 #sewsky

decided to use up some stash fabric (and probably jinx the weather) by making this unnecessarily summery dress 🪡

for #ShowMeYourKnits garter stitch week, here’s my Waiting for Rain. Short rows with neat little lace panels to break up all that garter. it’s brilliantly wrappable, although sometimes I just knot it around my shoulders and waft around like I’m the ghost of a Victorian washerwoman 👻🧶

according to my records, I am on my 20th cardigan (😅), so here’s my first, my favourite, and my fcurrent fwip for #showMeYourKnits 🧶
I made the leopard print one in 2007. if it were human it would almost be old enough to buy me a drink. terrifying.

hot off the needles, some DK for #showmeyourknits - another shortened and cardiganised Saltburn to match my best beloved yellow one. buttons have been in my stash for 10 years, so I’m glad to finally find a use for them! 🧶

just spent an unnecessarily long amount of time peeling a particularly recalcitrant onion, chopped it, then immediately threw it in the compost bin 🥲

had to go spelunking in the caverns of past projects to find anything green for #showMeYourKnits - definite gap in the current wardrobe I should try to fill. in the meantime, here’s leek from 2012, which I wore to the point of disintegration. (improvised, random cheap yarn from the local market)
